answer text <p>The Department has standard terms and conditions it uses for the procurement of goods and services. These conditions contain a clause that require contractors to pay sums to sub-contractors within 30 days of verifying that the invoice is valid and undisputed. The conditions also require sub-contractors to include a clause to the same effect into any contracts it enters into for the purpose of performing the contract.</p><p> </p><p>Regulation 113(6) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (SI 2015/102) (‘The Regulations’) implies a term into the relevant public contracts requiring payment within 30 days, even if the contract itself does not contain express provisions. Therefore, all contracts covered by s.113 of the Regulations are deemed to include provisions to impose the applicable payment terms.</p> more like this
