What they tell their suppliers
In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
Standard payment terms for goods and services are 60 days (from the date of receipt) from the end of the month in which the invoice is received, unless the company employs less than 50 employees. For companies who employ less than 50 employees the terms are 30 days
Dispute resolution
EMCOR requires all suppliers to quote a valid purchase order number on their invoices. Invoices must match the purchase order provided. Invoices received without a purchase order number will be rejected and returned to the supplier by email. If an invoice exceeds the purchase order value, it will be queried internally. The supplier will be notified by email of any unresolved query within five days of receipt of the invoice. If an invoice matches the purchase order but is subject to another query, the supplier will be contacted by email by the relevant operational contact. The supplier must resolve the query with the operational contact before payment can be made. Escalation procedures are in place to support the resolution of any disputes.

What a 39-day cycle ties up
A worked example, not a finding. On a hypothetical £12k/month account, at a 39-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).
