In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
The later of 28 days from receipt of goods and services or invoice date
Dispute resolution
The accounts payable department will liaise with suppliers as to the status of any unpaid invoices and follow up with the procurement and supply chain departments to facilitate the resolution of any disputes
Other information
Payment runs are raised weekly based on payment due dates. These payment due dates do not allow for the time it takes the bank transfer to clear into the suppliers' accounts and consequently using the definition of payment period in this legislation the majority of our payments appear as overdue

What a 28-day cycle ties up
Illustrative. On a hypothetical £12k/month account, at a 28-day vs a 1-day payment cycle.
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?
What does "paid outside agreed terms" mean?
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 6,185 companies with a current statutory report — every sector pooled, not an average of sector medians (how the figure is built).
