Procurement Policies
All Bay of Plenty purchase orders are issued clearly stating
that our Standard Terms and Conditions of purchase apply.
Click to view:
Unless we have explicitly agreed in writing, these Standard
Terms and Conditions apply in every case.
Purchase Orders
We would like to remind all suppliers that the Bay of Plenty
District Health Board requires the use of an approved purchase
order.
As a supplier you should not be receiving orders via
letters/faxes or verbal orders, except as an approved purchase
order.
In the rare event of an urgent order, our staff are required to
follow this up with a confirmation purchase order.
Free In-Store
In all cases, Bay of Plenty District Health Board requires a
purchase order number to be quoted on all delivery documents and
invoices.
One of our Standard Terms and Conditions is that all prices
quoted are for goods to be supplied "free-in-store", ie with
freight costs included in the price.
We have noted recently a growing trend for some suppliers to
quote a price and then claim that freight is extra.
We, therefore, are taking this opportunity to remind all
suppliers that an order is issued on the basis of a "free-in-store"
price. We will not be paying for freight unless this is
explicitly agreed in writing as a separate line on the purchase
order.
Invoices Should be Sent to:
All invoices should be addressed as follows:
Accounts Payable
Bay of Plenty District Health Board
Private Bag 12024
Tauranga
We have noted that some suppliers still are sending invoices in
the names of Eastern Bay Health Limited, Western Bay Health
limited, Pacific Health Limited, or Pacific Health. These
entities no longer exist and your records should be updated for our
legal name Bay of Plenty District Health
Board.
