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.

What a 39-day cycle ties up
A worked example, not a finding. On a hypothetical £12k/month account, at a 39-day vs a 30-day payment cycle.
Late Payment Act. The Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998 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.

What is a Payment Practices Report?
What does "paid outside agreed terms" mean?
How often is this data updated?
Is this official government data?
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 6,104 companies with a current statutory report — every sector pooled, not an average of sector medians (how the figure is built).
