What they tell their suppliers

Payment code: Fair Payment Code 72% of invoices in dispute

In their own words · from the filing

Standard payment terms

Standard payment terms are 30 days from receipt of a valid invoice. Non-Standard terms are agreed with Suppliers and Subcontractors to comply with specific statutory and/or client contractual requirements. Terms agreed range from 7 days to 60 days from month end of invoice received.

Dispute resolution

FM Conway Limited is committed to fair treatment of all its Supply chain partners and actively promotes transparency with swift resolution of any dispute. Any dispute arising, either Suppliers or Subcontractors, the process will involve the Accounts Payable Team and the Procurement function as the first port of call. These functions are co-located in our head office to enable timely resolution. On the rare occasions where it is not possible to reach an agreement suitable to both parties the dispute will escalated to Senior Management. In extreme circumstances other methods of dispute resolution may include but are not limited to mediation, adjudication, expert determination and/or arbitration.

Working-capital effect

What a 26-day cycle ties up

Illustrative. On a hypothetical £12k/month account, at a 26-day vs a 7-day payment cycle.

≈ £10,000
of invoicing outstanding at any one time on a 26-day cycle — about £7,500 more than the same account would carry at 7-day terms.

Late Payment Act. The Late Payment of Commercial Debts Act 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?
UK companies and LLPs above a size threshold — broadly, two of: turnover over £54m, balance sheet over £27m, or more than 250 employees — must report twice a year, under the Reporting on Payment Practices and Performance Regulations 2017, how quickly they actually pay suppliers: the average time to pay, the share of invoices paid in 30 days or fewer, 31 to 60 days and 61 days or longer, and their standard payment terms. Those thresholds apply to financial years beginning on or after 6 April 2025; for earlier financial years they were £36m and £18m, with the same 250-employee test.
What does "paid outside agreed terms" mean?
The share of invoices paid later than the terms in the supplier contract. If terms are 30 days and an invoice is paid on day 45, it counts as paid outside terms, regardless of the headline average.
How often is this data updated?
Each report covers a six-month period and must be filed within 30 days of that period ending, so a company's record refreshes roughly twice a year. PaidLate re-reads the register as new reports are filed.
Is this official government data?
The underlying payment figures come from the company's own statutory filings on the gov.uk payment-practices service; company-status data comes from Companies House. PaidLate calculates trends, comparisons and summaries from those records. It does not use surveys or credit-agency scores.

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 6,185 companies with a current statutory report — every sector pooled, not an average of sector medians (how the figure is built).
