In January, FAO (Payments) send a form FSO932/932A which asks
you for an estimate of requirements to cover the 12 month period
starting in April of the following year.
The form FSO932A must be completed and returned within 21
days of receipt. Keep a copy on the reverse of the original form
FSO932.
Delivery will be made by a contractor appointed by HMSO and
will normally take place in November/December of the current year.
Prior notification will be issued on form FSO934 which contains
important guidelines.
In addition Management Inspectors should ensure that
counter and security staff are aware that packages addressed
to the Management Inspector are expected and are to be brought to
his/her attention immediately upon receipt
acceptance, checking and provision of the required signature
is only to be carried out by the Management Inspector or an
appointed deputy
any consignment proper to another District at a different
location is to be rejected with a request that it be delivered to
the correct address. If two or more Districts occupy the same
building, it may be arranged locally that delivery of all payable
orders is accepted by a particular Management Inspector. In such a
case, follow the guidance on form FSO934 relating to multi-occupied
buildings.
If you need to order further supplies, do so at least one
month in advance. Do not order additional supplies when stocks held
are already sufficient.
FAO (Payments) should be notified immediately of any change
impacting on a requisition since it may be possible to take this
into account before delivery.
