Purchase order and contract payments

When entering into a business transaction with you, it is our responsibility to supply you with a valid purchase reference. This can be in the form of a purchase order (PO) number, or Contract number.

It is your responsibility not to supply goods and/or services unless you receive a valid purchase reference except in an emergency works situation. We use automated systems and as such will not be able to process your invoice for payment without a valid purchase reference.

If you have not received your purchase order or contract number please contact the person that you have been working with at Waikato District Council to request this information.

Standard Purchase Order Terms and Conditions

Waikato District Council’s purchase order standard terms and conditions contain the default terms and conditions which apply to all purchase orders unless otherwise agreed within the purchase order or contract.
