Accounts Payable

Accounts Payable processes payments for invoices submitted by the City's suppliers and contractors.

Suppliers and contractors

The City of Beaumont works with reliable suppliers and contractors to deliver the best value for our community. Price is important, but we also consider:

  • quality,
  • reliability,
  • service, and
  • the ability to deliver on time.

Fair, open and competitive purchasing processes are used, so vendors have a clear opportunity to work with the City. We value strong working relationships and welcome suppliers who bring innovation, professionalism and a commitment to continuous improvement.

Suppliers and contractors are expected to operate ethically, provide quality service, and consistently meet specifications and delivery timelines. Where applicable, vendors must meet all legislative, regulatory and City requirements.
