In their own words · from the filing

Standard payment terms

TL standard payment terms for all purchases of goods and services are 30 days from the date of the invoice, providing that all trading terms and conditions have been fulfilled (i.e. goods and services have been delivered or provided). Per the financial regulations, we should pay 30 days from date of receipt of invoice: Once the Goods and/or Services have been delivered in accordance with Clause 5 of the Contract the Seller shall send a Correct Invoice for the Goods and/or Services which shall identify the HEI’s Purchase Order number, and the HEI shall pay such invoice if correctly rendered within 30 days of receipt.

Dispute resolution

If there is a disputed purchase invoice the supplier should initially contract the finance department by email at [email protected]. This will be dealt with the Financial Controller and then escalated to the Head of Finance, or Director of Finance if necessary. Usually any email will be answered within 5 working days. Per the financial regulations: The Contract shall in all respects be governed by and construed in accordance with English law and shall be deemed to have been made in England and the parties agree to submit to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England. 24.2 All disputes arising out of or in connection with this Contract shall be resolved by arbitration. A single arbitrator shall be appointed by agreement between the parties but where the part

Working-capital effect

What a 39-day cycle ties up

Illustrative. On a hypothetical £12k/month account, at a 39-day vs a 30-day payment cycle.

≈ £15,500
of invoicing outstanding at any one time on a 39-day cycle — about £3,500 more than the same account would carry at 30-day terms.

Late Payment Act. The Late Payment of Commercial Debts Act lets a supplier charge statutory interest and fixed compensation on invoices paid past agreed terms. Work out what a late invoice is worth → Whether it applies depends on your contract — check with an adviser.

How UK payment reporting works

What is a Payment Practices Report?
UK companies and LLPs above a size threshold — broadly, two of: turnover over £54m, balance sheet over £27m, or more than 250 employees — must report twice a year, under the Reporting on Payment Practices and Performance Regulations 2017, how quickly they actually pay suppliers: the average time to pay, the share of invoices paid in 30 days or fewer, 31 to 60 days and 61 days or longer, and their standard payment terms. Those thresholds apply to financial years beginning on or after 6 April 2025; for earlier financial years they were £36m and £18m, with the same 250-employee test.
What does "paid outside agreed terms" mean?
The share of invoices paid later than the terms in the supplier contract. If terms are 30 days and an invoice is paid on day 45, it counts as paid outside terms, regardless of the headline average.
How often is this data updated?
Each report covers a six-month period and must be filed within 30 days of that period ending, so a company's record refreshes roughly twice a year. PaidLate re-reads the register as new reports are filed.
Is this official government data?
The underlying payment figures come from the company's own statutory filings on the gov.uk payment-practices service; company-status data comes from Companies House. PaidLate calculates trends, comparisons and summaries from those records. It does not use surveys or credit-agency scores.

How this is compiled. Built from official records only: Companies House and the gov.uk payment-practices service. The payment figures are self-reported — companies over the size threshold must file them by law and the board signs them off. No credit-agency data. The numbers are theirs; the plain-English read is ours. This is information compiled from public records under the Open Government Licence v3.0 — not a credit rating and not advice.

The 31-day comparison figure is the median across 6,185 companies with a current statutory report — every sector pooled, not an average of sector medians (how the figure is built).
