What they tell their suppliers
In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
Payment Due date is calculated from the date of receipt of a valid invoice, plus 60 days due at end of the month. If the payment due date of an invoice does not fall on a Business Day, payment shall become due on the Business Day following the due date, so has payment terms between 60 & 90 days of invoice receipt
Dispute resolution
Suppliers with invoice queries can contact the AP team either via Web based Portal, or via direct contact with a member of the Accounts Payable team. The Accounts Payable team will investigate the query and will respond to the Supplier with a resolution. The Accounts Payable team will also get in contact with the Supplier if they find an issue with the invoice. Supplier statements are also reconciled when they are sent in by the supplier and and are reconciled and returned with updated status' of invoices.
Other information
Some suppliers have agreed payment terms that are calculated from the date of receipt of a valid invoice, plus 120 days due at end of the month. If the payment due date of an invoice does not fall on a Business Day, payment shall become due on the Business Day following the due date, so the payment term for such agreements can range between 120 & 150 days of invoice receipt.

What a 75-day cycle ties up
A worked example, not a finding. On a hypothetical £12k/month account, at a 75-day vs a 60-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.

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).
