What they tell their suppliers

Payment code: Fair Payment Code Offers e-invoicing 98% of invoices in dispute

In their own words · from the filing

Standard payment terms

Material Purchase Invoices: Payment terms are agreed with suppliers before commencing business. Terms vary between 7 days from invoice received date (IRD) to 75 days from IRD; the most common payment term in practice is 45 days from month end. Supply and fit sub-contract invoices: Payment terms are agreed with sub-contractors before commencing a project. Terms depend upon the form of Contract and vary between 30 to 60 days. Labour Only sub-contract invoices: Payment is due 14 days from the end of the week which the work undertaken by the sub-contractor relates to.

Dispute resolution

Disputes are discussed and resolved between the supplier, our internal finance department, and the procurement department. Once the dispute is resolved, payments are prioritised to mitigate risk of late payment. Sub-contract disputes are discussed and resolved between the subcontractor and the project quantity surveyor.

Other information

The payment performance reporting has been prepared on a basis that is consistent with previous submissions, in that they report the time taken between the date of receipt of the initial invoice and the payment date of the approved invoice received from the supplier/subcontractor. Breheny Civil Engineering are now compliant with the standards set out by the Fair Payment Code. The Company has achieved the "Silver Standard". For clarity the data presented in this report is for a combined total as stipulated by Payment Practise Reporting.

Working-capital effect

What a 22-day cycle ties up

Illustrative. On a hypothetical £12k/month account, at a 22-day vs a 7-day payment cycle.

≈ £8,500
of invoicing outstanding at any one time on a 22-day cycle — about £5,900 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).
