What they tell their suppliers
In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
Standard contractual terms for the payment to suppliers are 0-60 days
Dispute resolution
The Company will notify suppliers of any invoice disputes. The Company and the supplier will endeavour to resolve all disputes by agreement of the parties. Once resolved payment will be made in accordance with agreed terms. If these discussions are unsuccessful then the dispute will be resolved by reference to arbitration or courts (as specified in the contract).
Other information
Payment statistics disclosed in this report can be affected by a number of different factors including payments made to other BP group companies which are included within the data disclosed. Invoices are often reported as due but not paid within agreed terms because BACS transfers to suppliers arrive in the supplier’s bank account two business days after leaving the company’s bank account contract payments due on weekends or bank holidays are typically paid on the following business day and the company typically initiates payments in batches on a Daily basis; where this is the case payments will normally be received by the supplier within a few days of the due date

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).
