Gov Facility Services: Billing
(asked on 12th June 2018) - View Source
Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what the (a) number and (b) total volume was of unpaid invoices submitted to Gov Facility Services Limited in each month since it was established.
The table below shows the invoices that have been placed “on hold” in their respective months. On hold means that the invoice has been queried due a number of different factors (see point 2).
Month | Invoices On Hold | |
A) Number | B) Total Volume | |
February | 169 | £1,308,779 |
March | 891 | £2,462,185 |
April | 1084 | £4,157,171 |
May | 1139 | £4,470,584 |
To note within the table: |
|
1. Figures have been extracted from the "invoices on hold" report. | |
2. There are many factors when invoices will be put on hold for payment, including where goods and services not yet verified as received or where the supplier invoice does not match the provisions of the original purchase order. | |
3. The insolvency of Carillion and following transfer of suppliers from Carillion to MoJ has led to an increase in the total volume of invoices received. | |
4. The department is in the process of obtaining the information regarding the total invoices paid and unpaid for a matter of context. | |
