Yes, Birmingham City Council offers options for receiving invoices electronically. They prefer electronic invoices to reduce paper use, and you have several ways to submit invoices.
Here's a quick summary of how you can receive and submit invoices:
Method Details Supplier Portal Submit invoices directly supported by a Purchase Order (PO). Find out more on the supplier portal. Email Send invoices as PDF, Word, or TIFF files, one invoice per email to: directinvoices@birmingham.gov.uk. Post Paper invoices can be sent if email submission isn't possible, but this is not the preferred method. To ensure prompt payment, make sure your invoices include all necessary details, such as your vendor number and PO number.
