Pretoria - The Gauteng Department of Education has launched an operation aimed at ensuring that all outstanding invoices exceeding 30 days are settled.
Department spokesperson Charles Phahlane said the aim of the campaign was to ensure that service providers were paid within the stipulated 30 days from submission of an invoice and that this becomes standard practice.
During Operation Pay Suppliers, which is to end on 30 November 2011, the department invites suppliers to bring outstanding invoices for processing.
"Service providers and suppliers with unpaid invoices of over 30 days should visit the department at 111 Commissioner Street, Johannesburg, during the month of November to have invoices processed," said Phahlane.
Documents required include certified copy of invoice, delivery note and purchase order document.
For more information, suppliers and service providers can dial the numbers (011) 355 0267, (011) 843 6690 or 071 474 6013.
