Shire Supplier Information - North America
Welcome to the North American supplier information page.
Shire is committed to paying our suppliers on time. We have developed our Shire Guide to Payments (Shire Supplier Playbook) to assist suppliers understand the end-to-end process for payments. The process may differ across regions, countries and entities so please note the differences especially if you are supplying cross-border.
There are several common principles across Shire globally:
・E-Invoicing: please see details below in the Invoicing section
・Email: see Shire’s “Guide to Payments” and the Contact Us section below for email addresses. Invoices must be sent in PDF or TIFF format only.
・Mail: Please see Shire’s “Guide to Payments” and the Contact Us section below for the relevant addresses. Please note that US, Canada and Europe (except Germany), all invoices should be directed to the relevant Shared Service Center, and not to office locations.
Shire’s quick reference Guide to Payments
All suppliers to Shire will need to complete a registration process to ensure we have accurate information to enable payment, to ensure you comply with our Code of Conduct and policies, and to ensure we can keep you informed with information that may affect you. Shire also operates a No PO/No Pay policy on the procurement of most goods and services - a PO cannot be issued until a supplier is registered.
To register as a supplier, there are 3 key steps:
・Legal registered company name and address, business contacts for PO’s, AP, etc.
・Relevant tax and company numbers (such as Tax Identification Number (TIN)/VAT number, W9/W8 for US companies)
・Supplier Diversity information if applicable
・Banking details including:
・Bank Country/ Account Number/ Account Type/ Payee Name
・Bank Name/ Branch address/ City/ State or Region/ Postal code
・Currency/ Remittance email address
