In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
We do not have standard payment terms as we agree terms as part of the contract negotiation, however for subcontractors the most common payment terms are 45 days after the accounting month end providing a valid application is received. For suppliers the most frequently used payment terms are 60 days after the month in which the invoice is received.
Dispute resolution
At United infrastructure we would always seek to resolve disputes with the relevant supply chain member by discussion and negotiation. With regard to a supplier this would usually be done by involving members of our finance, procurement and/or commercial teams and may also be escalated to members of management.

What a 51-day cycle ties up
A worked example, not a finding. On a hypothetical £12k/month account, at a 51-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).
