What they tell their suppliers
In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
Standard payment terms are 60 days from the date of the invoice. We do have vendors set up with shorter or in a few cases with longer payment terms. The 90 days payment terms should no longer be used and vendors with this payment terms will be reviewed.
Dispute resolution
In the first instance disputes will be received by our Invoice processing contact centre at the defined email address or telephone number printed on every Purchase Order and Payment Remittance Advice. Queries will then be forwarded to the requester of the services/goods for information and evaluation. Failure to meet resolution will be escalated to the local Finance team and/or global P2P team and include the specific Buyer for the service/goods that is responsible for the vendor relationship.
Other information
Intercompany invoices and vendors paid by direct debit have been reported separately from third party vendors. However they are included in overall performance.

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).
