Standard payment terms
Simplyhealth Access is a member of the Simplyhealth Group of companies. Simplyhealth Access’ standard payment terms are 30 days from receipt of invoice. In certain cases, individual agreements are in place with suppliers which have alternative payment terms. The standard 30 day period for payment is extended by any time taken addressing invoicing queries, where an invoice is incorrect or does not contain the information required, such as a valid purchase order reference.

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).
