Being a supplier to the Centerprise Group

Our suppliers are an essential part of Centerprise Group and play a vital role in supporting our core values.

  • Ensure customer satisfaction is our number one priority

  • Be innovative and do all that is reasonable to deliver a positive outcome

  • Be true to your word and go the extra mile to deliver on your promise

We are committed to ensuring that all our dealings with suppliers are conducted in accordance with the principles of fair and ethical trading, from initial sourcing to ongoing supplier management. We want to work with suppliers of all sizes who meet the required level of performance and quality.

Our strategy is about putting the customer at the heart of everything we do and our vision is to be the industry leading IT solutions supplier for our customers. To do this, we need to be confident that our suppliers practice our code of supplier responsibility.

We work with suppliers who take time to understand our business and look for ways to bring insight and enhancements. By strengthening the way we do business, we can then look to generate innovative products, services and solutions that our customers are increasingly demanding.

Our Expectations

We expect all of our suppliers to adhere to the following principles.

  • To implement the standards of our ‘code of supplier responsibility’ in their own business and encourage good practice within their own supply chain

  • To ensure responsible, fair and honest dealings with all their stakeholders, including employees, sub-contractors and other third parties.

  • To deliver fair outcomes for our customers.

Information about getting paid if you're a supplier to Centerprise Group

As a signatory to the Prompt Payment Code, we want to comply with its principles by paying suppliers within agreed terms and ensuring we provide guidance on our payment procedures.

The Small Business Enterprise and Employment Act 2015 means Centerprise International Limited reports publicly its supplier invoice payment practices and performance.

There are specific invoicing requirements that suppliers need to follow to avoid payment delays. In particular, suppliers must send invoices directly to accounts payable and not to individuals in the business.

Orders

Receiving Orders

As a supplier, you should ensure you have authorisation from us before supplying any goods or services.

Purchase Orders are our preferred method and should be used unless we have agreed an alternative approach with you.

In exceptional circumstances, where a PO has not been issued, please ensure you reference the email address of your Centerprise Group business contact within the invoice.

Please be vigilant and check the authenticity of Purchase Orders before providing goods or services. If you have any concerns, please email our Accounts Payable team at: financepurchaseledger@centerprise.co.uk

Invoicing

All invoices must quote a Purchase Order number. This is essential payment information, so if you haven’t been provided with one you will need to refer to the person who placed the order with you before submitting your invoice.

Invoices should be sent as PDF by email to invoices@centerprise.co.uk

These documents are scanned and content is automatically transferred to our payments systems

Important: Sending invoices to individuals in the business, instead of directly to accounts payable, prevents us from being able to pay the invoices on time.

Payment

Payment

Centerprise Group’s standard payment method is direct payment to your bank account via the BACS system.

If you have a query regarding an outstanding payment please email our Purchase Ledger Team at financepurchaseledger@centerprise.co.uk
