What they tell their suppliers
In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
We have a range of payment terms that vary by supplier, these range from immediate to 90 days following invoice date. We do not have daily payment runs but we are willing to accept immediate payment terms and so these suppliers on immediate terms are paid on the first available payment run once their invoices have gone through the relevant approval process. Suppliers with immediate terms or less than our standard terms will generally be paid late but they are on these payment terms to ensure they are paid at the earliest opportunity.
Dispute resolution
The Company is committed to dealing with its suppliers in a fair, honest and professional manner. We seek to resolve queries as quickly as possible to everyone's satisfaction prior to payment being made. It is initially established whether an invoice has been received. If this is not the case, a copy invoice is requested and sent for the relevant approval process. In the event that a dispute cannot be resolved by our Accounts team, it would be escalated in the first instance to the relevant Head of Department to seek a resolution.

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).
