Charging the University of Canterbury (University) for goods or services

The University uses Purchase Orders (PO), linked with a contract, to procure goods and services. 

Suppliers need to receive the PO before work commences and then quote the PO number on their invoice to ensure efficient payment.  Please ensure that you receive this from your University representative.

The University has General Terms and Conditions which apply to most purchases that are of a non-strategic nature.  All other PO’s outside of this are governed by a bespoke agreement between the University and the supplier.  In all instances, a PO must be given to you before work of any nature commences.  No PO No Pay.  

For basic one-off PO’s - see our UC Purchase Order Terms 2023.

Payments will be made by Electronic Funds Transfer.  A remittance will be sent by email on the same day as payment.

The University’s standard terms of payment are 20^th of the month following invoice date.

All supplier invoices must be sent to paperlessap@canterbury.ac.nz.
