Dispute resolution
There is a standard process which is undertaken on our behalf by a third party, Accenture. The Accenture Accounts Payable (AP) Helpdesk is a team formulated to provide assistance to the Vendor on queries relating to payment issues.

Communication is then sent to the vendor via call or email based on the mode of request and the issue is closed. If this process does not resolve the dispute the next escalation would be the terms stipulated within the contract, it is very dependent on the actual contract but the typical terms on BOC drafted contracts are: Clause 9.9 If the Customer reasonably disputes all or a part of a Supplier Invoi

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).
