In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
The company follows a policy whereby supplier payment terms are agreed prior to entering into any contracts or transactions. These payment terms are upheld based on the timely and accurate submission of invoices. The standard payment terms are 45 days
Dispute resolution
The company has robust processes and controls in place that must be followed with the objective of making payments within relevant terms. When disputes arise, the company aims to resolve these in a timely manner so that both parties can come to a resolution and payment be made accordingly. Disputes are resolved by the relevant contract owner within the business. Request for credits or back up documentation is requested at source. Disputed invoices will sit with the approver until resolved. The Shared Service Center send weekly reports of stopped invoices and actively manage the dispute resolution process with both suppliers and internal staff.
Other information
The majority of suppliers are on our standard payment terms. However, there are instances where different payment terms are agreed with suppliers.

What a 35-day cycle ties up
A worked example, not a finding. On a hypothetical £12k/month account, at a 35-day vs a 7-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 UK payment reporting works
What is a Payment Practices Report?
What does "paid outside agreed terms" mean?
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).
