In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
BACB's preferred payment term is30 days. We strive to ensure all payments are made within a timely manner and within terms. However, some vendor's terms ranges between 0, 14 and 15days,making it difficult to pay within those terms
Dispute resolution
Invoices in dispute will be entered onto the system but not approved until i)queries are resolved, ii)costs are agreed, iii) a credit note is received. The vendors' Credit Control team / dedicated account manager are contacted by BACB's Finance team or spend owner to query or request clarification of costs before payment is approved and processed.

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 6,104 companies with a current statutory report — every sector pooled, not an average of sector medians (how the figure is built).
