In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
The supplier's standard payment terms are used regularly. These are 30 days for locally provided goods and services and 60 days for imported goods.
Dispute resolution
If there is a dispute about an invoice then either our Accounts Payable staff or the contract originator will contact the supplier for an explanation and then if applicable the supplier will raise a credit note or provide another method of resolution so that the invoice can be paid. The most common reason for a delay in payment is when an invoice has not been received by the supplier. Once we know this and have received the invoice it will be paid by being included in the next payment run.
Other information
For some suppliers there are many invoices throughout the month and to prevent payments being made on every day of the month the invoices are bundled for a payment to be made on at least two dates per month spread evenly across the month. This may mean some invoices are paid earlier than the contractual date and some invoices paid later than the contractual date.

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).
