In their own words · from the filing

Standard payment terms

Standard payment terms are 60 days following the invoice receipt at Novartis. Depending on the commercial situation, variations to these standard terms might be negotiated on some occasions.

Dispute resolution

First point of contact for disputes or concerns is the Procure-to-Payment team within the Novartis Global Services Centre, for which all suppliers have contact details of. In addition to that, new suppliers receive an on-boarding pack, which includes information on issue raising and related points of contact. When an invoice dispute is received, it should be resolved at point of contact with the Procure-to-Payment team. If this is not possible, the query will be escalated to the Business contact and relevant senior Finance contact or P2P Business Partner. Timelines of escalation vary, depending on the nature of the query. When resolved, the invoice will be available for payment on the next standard payment run.

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 6,104 companies with a current statutory report — every sector pooled, not an average of sector medians (how the figure is built).
