Accounts Payable

The Accounts Payable function of the Beaumont Accounting Department is responsible for paying invoices to suppliers and contractors of Beaumont, Alberta.

Suppliers and contractors

Beaumont  seeks to obtain services or make its purchases from reliable suppliers, recognizing that although price is important, other elements of value, including quality, ability to deliver at required times, service and customer relations, constitute total cost to the city.

Suppliers and contractors are selected to ensure a high degree of flexibility, a good level of competition and a constant awareness of product development and technical improvements. They must possess high ethical standards, quality service, valid Beaumont business license, and a good record of adhering to specifications and maintaining delivery schedules.
