Payments may be made on behalf of creditors to third party suppliers/contractors to expedite the business and there is nothing wrong if the same is done in writing with request/consent of both parties in writing.
However while doing payment you have to withold taxes as may be applicable to your direct supplier and accounting also to be made/routed thru direct supplier's account. Only net amount cheque may be issued to third party as on behalf payment.
