General 180: Online Creditor Supplier Form
The Payments Team have recently developed an online creditor/supplier form, linked here: Supplier / Creditor – Create or Amend
You may be redirected to this link if you’ve requested a new LEA that is not currently on Devon County Council’s system.
Alternatively, if an LEA needs to be updated, you will need to complete the form using the ‘existing entity’ option.
Employment Status Screening
You may be prompted to complete an Employment Status Check depending on the services your supplier is providing.
Please ensure this is completed prior to submitting the LEA request.
Once you’ve received the results of your Employment Status Determination Statement, please use the reference number on the email subject line in the ‘ESI Reference’ field on the form.
*This is mandatory – you will not be able to proceed to the next stage of the form without this.

You will need to select one of the following options:
- Non-business – an individual for reimbursement i.e. member of staff, parent of pupil.
