Supplier Invoices to the College

For invoices and credit notes, please send these to the RCSEd Finance inbox at finance@rcsed.ac.uk. It would be helpful if you can include your RCSEd contact person or purchase order number (if applicable) on the invoice so we can ensure it flows through the appropriate approval channels.

(Note: if you currently or have sent invoices or statements to rcsed_finance@lightyear.cloud, please can you amend your contact information to our finance inbox now).

Ensure that invoices are in a PDF format and meet the standard requirement as set out by the HMRC. If an invoice does not meet these requirements, your invoice may be returned or payment could be delayed.

The College will seek to make payments promptly based on agreed terms and email out an associated remittance at the time of payment. Please let us know if your email address changes. If your bank account details changed, please email finance@rcsed.ac.uk so we can look to amending it through our verification process.


Procurement Matters 

In line with our procurement policies, only authorised directors or trustees may sign contracts on behalf of the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh. All suppliers are responsible for confirming that they are contracting with a duly authorised director or trustee before any agreement is finalised.
