What they tell their suppliers
In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
nmcn plc's supply chain consists of two categories of supplier, for which the qualifying contract is either a subcontract or a purchase order. For the purposes of this report, suppliers engaged under a subcontract are termed "subcontractors" and suppliers engaged under a purchase order are termed "other suppliers". There are no standard payment terms for subcontractors and terms are negotiated on a contract-by-contract basis. Standard payment terms for other suppliers are 60 days. To determine the number of days taken to make payment, a period of 3 days is allowed for confirmation of documents via nmcn's e-invoicing system.
Dispute resolution
nmcn plc seeks to deal with its supply chain in an open, fair and transparent manner. Where disputes do arise, the matters are discussed with the relevant supplier. Such discussions will usually involve the accounts payable and procurement departments in the first instance, but may be escalated to the commercial teams or senior management where necessary. In rare cases where agreement cannot be reached, disputes may be resolved via more formal routes such as mediation, adjudication, arbitration or litigation.
Other information
nmcn plc is committed to paying its suppliers in line with the due dates for payment. Payment terms for subcontractors are governed by the terms specified in the associated subcontract, and payment due dates are calculated by reference to the date that an application for payment is submitted by the subcontractor under the subcontract. Payment terms for other suppliers are stated on the relevant purchase order and payment due dates are calculated by reference to the invoice date.

What a 66-day cycle ties up
A worked example, not a finding. On a hypothetical £12k/month account, at a 66-day vs a 14-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).
