Accounts payable
The Accounts Payable section has responsibility for providing a system for proper recording and payment of sums due by the council.
The section also deals with:
- processing of invoices
- queries regarding the status of invoices
- the maintenance of creditor records
- the Construction Industry Tax Scheme
Invoice payment enquiries, in the first instance, should be directed to the department that purchased goods or services from your company.
Payment by Bacs (Bankers Automated Clearing System)
North Ayrshire Council intends to pay its suppliers through Bacs.
Bacs enables direct bank-to-bank payments, eliminating the need for paper based transactions and the issuing of cheques.
As part of the Bacs payment, you should receive remittances by email detailing payments being credited. If you are not receiving electronic remittances, please let the Accounts Payable section know and we will amend our records.

No Purchase Order, no payment (No PO No Pay)
North Ayrshire Council implements a No PO No Pay Policy. Suppliers and contractors must quote a valid Purchase Order number on invoices for goods, services, or works in order to receive payment.
