Send vs sent

I'm just wondering why you should use sent in this sentence below as in my opinion it should be send since it's the present tense not the past.

"They haven't settled their bill. It's time we sent a reminder."

Thanks for any replies!

'sent', as used in your sentence, is called the subjunctive.
