Prompt payments by the department


All government departments have to pay suppliers within 15 days of receiving a valid invoice. These are known as prompt payments.

As part of this requirement, the Department of Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science must publish payment performance reports every 3 months on our website.

These are requirements under Government Decision S29296 of 19 May 2009.
