In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
Payment terms vary depending on the terms agreed between the supplier and our Procurement Department. The majority of our large value suppliers provide 60 or 90 day payment terms.
Dispute resolution
Supplier invoices and payments are managed by the Accounts Payable team at Citypoint 2, 25 Tyndrum Street, Glasgow, G4 0JY. The Accounts Payable team notify any significant variations from PO value to the individual that raised the PO. If the value is disputed it is their responsibility to contact the supplier and resolve the dispute. Invoiced items that are subject to dispute are not approved for payment until the dispute has been resolved.

What a 69-day cycle ties up
A worked example, not a finding. On a hypothetical £12k/month account, at a 69-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?

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).
