What they tell their suppliers
In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
Our standard payment terms are 90 days from receipt of a valid invoice. Payment is made within 90 days, provided the invoice is accurate, complies with our invoicing requirements, and has been approved in accordance with our internal processes. Different payment terms may apply where contractually agreed with individual suppliers.
Dispute resolution
In the first instance, supplier queries and disputes should be directed to our S2P Contact Centre using the email address or telephone number provided on every Purchase Order. The query will then be forwarded to the relevant requester of the goods or services for review and resolution. Where a resolution cannot be reached, the matter will be escalated to the S2P Business Partner and the responsible Buyer, who manages the supplier relationship, to facilitate timely resolution.
Other information
Intercompany invoices and suppliers paid by direct debit have been identified separately from third-party suppliers for reporting purposes. However, they remain included within the overall payment performance figures. Intercompany transactions are primarily with wholly owned group companies and may affect reported payment performance, as priority is given to ensuring that third-party suppliers are paid in accordance with agreed payment terms.

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).
