Welsh Government Prompt Payment Policy
The Welsh
Government is committed to paying suppliers and organisations promptly. It aims to pay within five
working days of receiving a correctly completed invoice.
Suppliers can
help to ensure that their invoices are paid promptly if all the
information is correct and includes:
- Valid
Purchase Order (PO) number and invoice numbers
- Welsh
Government as the addressee
- Date
of invoice
- Supplier
name, contact details and bank details
- Description
of the goods/ works or services
- Name
of Welsh Government contact

Net and Gross values (include VAT and VAT number where applicable)
Where
possible, please send invoices to us as a pdf to the email address on the PO.
This is usually: WAGinvoices@wales.gsi.gov.uk. If invoices are sent by post, please
send them to the address on the top of the PO.
A set of
frequently asked questions on our Prompt Payment Policy, which includes our emergency and exemption process, is available at http://sell2wales.gov.wales/PPP_FAQS.aspx. If
