Network Rail<\/a> is giving thousands of British firms a vital boost to their cash flow during the COVID-19 pandemic, by announcing immediate payments for its suppliers<\/h2>\n

The announcement means payment could be up to seven days quicker for SMEs<\/a> and up to 28 days quicker for other suppliers.<\/p>\n

Network Rail has committed to pay its suppliers immediately, or as close to immediately as possible, following approval of the payment ledger, with the expectation that subsequent payments flow down the supply chain.<\/p>\n

Strengthening the supply chain<\/h3>\n

Faster payments will support the extensive supply chain that keeps Britain\u2019s railway moving.<\/p>\n

Network Rail and its supply chain have a key role to play during this coronavirus pandemic, ensuring that the railway can continue to get critical medical supplies to hospitals<\/a>, food to supermarkets, and key workers such as doctors, nurses and police officers to their jobs.<\/p>\n

Clive Berrington, commercial and procurement director for Network Rail, said: \u201cOur priority is to support the supply chain as much as possible through these unprecedented times.<\/p>\n

\u201cTogether, we can help to ensure we have a strong supply chain when we emerge from this pandemic.\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cWe have therefore moved all our suppliers to immediate payment terms, or as close as you can get following approval of the invoice, and we expect that to flow down to the supply chain.\u201d<\/p>\n
