Paid invoices

Invoices paid 2023-24

Uttlesford District Council has published information for the period 1 April 2023 - 30 March 2024. Data from the period 2020-21 is included for comparison. 

Percentage of supplier invoices paid within 30 days of receipt by the council (max)

2023-24 average: 97.35%

2022-23 average: 97.76%

Notes: 97.35% is a little short of the 98% set target set for 2023-24. This is a consistent level across the quarters and should perhaps be reviewed to a more realistic target. We are not far off 98% but with the volume there is little more we can do to improve the target outcome. The number of invoices over the last 4 years have increased substantially, especially last year.
