The fee for early payment is a % discount offered against the gross invoice value for payment in advance of the standard 30 days. The discount is calculated dynamically and is proportionate to how many days the payment is accelerated (number of days between invoice receipt and invoice payment sent). The purpose of the programme is to generate new income for the council and to also help suppliers by injecting much needed liquidity into the councils supply chain, and particularly the local economy. Stockton will be working together with Darlington Council to implement the scheme as Xentrall Shared Services act on behalf of both councils for invoice processing. This mobilisation is expected to take circa 6 months. Each council will have a separate contract with the supplier. ## CPV classification Financial systems software package Source Contracts Finder (UK) [View official notice](https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/notice/c4589b08-29cf-4728-82ab-c366e7015157) Never miss a tender like this again Get AI summaries, deadline alerts and a bid pipeline for tenders matched to your business.
