1.2 Procurement function @ CERN1. Close link between the procurement
function and organizational objectives and strategies;
2. Unlike private sector where the focus is profit, CERN is accountable to the taxpayers of its member states whose money is being spent, including disappointed bidders and potential suppliers;
3. Procedures and practices have been put into place to stand up to the scrutiny of auditors and member states on purchasing decision made. C

1.3 Procurement objectives @ CERN
• The Procurement and Industrial Services (FP-PI) Group procures all supplies and services for CERN, meeting the:
• specified and contractual technical,delivery and performance requirementsat the lowest possible overall cost,
• while achieving balanced industrial return for the CERN Member States.

2.6 Fraud issues Fraud or perception of Fraud will have a negative impact on the organisation!
Bid rigging - where suppliers collude with or without the knowledge of CERN Staff to control the tender process.
Manipulation of specifications – where inadequate bid specifications in order to facilitate the selection of a favored bidder
Corruption – where CERN staff leak helpful information to a favored bidder while withholding such information from other bidders.
Reminder:Do not pick up goods from the suppliers premisesDo not ask firms to deliver supplies prior to the
establishment of an order.

8.3 How you can help timely and accurate payments
1. Invoices• Pass all invoices to Accounts Payable (or tell supplier to do
so)
2. Questions• Direct all questions regarding payment to
accounts.payable@cern.ch
3. EDH Approval documents/emails requesting approval• Treat promptly and only say ‘YES’ if you have received the
goods / services ordered and are satisfied
• If you Postpone a document, remember to validate it when goods received/tested

8.3 BewareEDH Approval documents/emails requesting approval
• If you Reject an AL document, Accounts Payable have difficulties tracking the document and shall request details anyway once they are aware of your rejection so as to know what actions to take next (these can include requesting a credit note). AP shall be unable to use the EDH document further (technically there is a 1:1 ratio) so future correspondence on this order cannot be tracked through EDH.
• Instead of Rejecting the Invoice, indicate that you do not accept the supplies:
a. Indicate NO at the question
b. Provide an explanation in the comments
c. Then sign the EDH document.

8.3 Exception for partial acceptance
If you do not agree to pay the invoice amount in full contact the procurement officer, so that appropriate contract amendment or negotiation are undertaken.
Procurement and Accounts Payable will then advise on the action that needs to be taken.

8.4 Tools available for order and invoice tracking
1. EDH• At the bottom of the original order you can see the
authorization status up to the point the invoice is received. • NB: “Invoice matched to order lines” only means the
invoice is received, not that it is paid.
2. CET (CERN Expenditure tracking)• In the Transactions by Cost Centre view, items appearing
in the ‘Charged to Budget Code’ column have been treated by payment by Accounts Payable
• It is possible to view the invoice related to items in ‘Charged to Budget Code’ if you include Document number in your column selection
