In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
Payment terms are agreed with suppliers as part of the contractual negotiations. Our standard terms provide for payment at the end of the month following the month in which an invoice is dated.
Dispute resolution
The purchasing contract at each location is responsible for promptly advising the supplier regarding any invoice queries and also communicating with the central purchase ledger department, so such invoices can be flagged as disputed. The aim is to resolve at local level, however if this can not be achieved, then the matter would be escalated within the respective organisation.

What a 38-day cycle ties up
A worked example, not a finding. On a hypothetical £12k/month account, at a 38-day vs a 1-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).
