How to receive your NHS Trust invoices

In 2015 the United Kingdom approved the Enterprise and Employment Act, which specifically gives ministries the right to regulate electronic billing in the public sector in England. The intention was for public companies to encourage the use of electronic invoicing and some of these public companies, such as the National Health Service did, began implementing electronic invoicing in 2016.

Since then, NHS requires electronic invoicing of its suppliers and customers in the exchange of documents through the PEPPOL access point, which allows the exchange of invoices, orders or catalogs, at European level. This network requires the transmission of documents be done following a format and parameters already established, and by a specific network.

NHS and its suppliers

If you are an NHS provider, you must be prepared for the process of exchanging electronic documents.

It is a process in which you must receive the orders from your client. Once you have received the order with the information included in the document, you must create the correct invoice to send it to your supplier. All this process must be produced electronically and following specific parameters through the PEPPOL network.
