Purchase Orders, invoicing and payments

If you're providing us with goods or services, then you'll need a valid purchase order. This page tells you exactly what we need around purchases orders, invoicing and payments.

Our goal is to make working with us easy. If you have any questions regarding our purchase order and invoicing procedures, please contact HBRC here.

Do I need a purchase order number?

A Purchase Order (PN) number is mandatory and this needs to be raised by us before you send us an invoice.  All goods and services provided to us must be supported by a valid purchase order or contract. 

If you have not received a PN number, please request one from the Council staff member responsible for purchasing the goods or service. The purchase order number and/or contract number must be included on your invoice prior to sending to us. This will help us process your invoice quickly.
