What they tell their suppliers
In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
Payment terms are agreed with suppliers and subcontractors as part of contract negotiations. The most frequently used payment term is 60 days from invoice date. Payment runs are typically done on a weekly basis.
Dispute resolution
NG Bailey Limited takes prides in developing open and long lasting relationships with its suppliers and subcontractors. NG Bailey Limited actively seeks to resolve disputes by discussing them with the relevant supplier or subcontractor. This typically involves members of the procurement, accounts payable and commercial teams. Where necessary it is escalated to members of management. Where it is not possible to reach an agreement, a number of potential dispute resolution methods may be used, e.g. adjudication, mediation, litigation or arbitration.

What a 36-day cycle ties up
A worked example, not a finding. On a hypothetical £12k/month account, at a 36-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.

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).
