In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
The following is an extract from our standard terms and conditions. "Unless otherwise agreed, invoices will be payable within 60 calendar days of the date of invoice". Consultants are paid 14 days from invoice date. Where payment from customers is contingent on acceptance of the work, payment terms with suppliers may be mutually agreed on a back-to-back basis whereby suppliers are paid within seven working days of receipt of cleared funds from the customer. Payment to the supplier may therefore exceed 30 day terms.
Dispute resolution
Invoice payment disputes should be discussed with the BMT contact as detailed on the Purchase Order. The dispute can be further escalated to Accounts Payable and relevant Project Manager or Finance Manager (as appropriate) to resolve with appropriate action

Working-capital effect
What a 24-day cycle ties up
Illustrative. On a hypothetical £12k/month account, at a 24-day vs a 7-day payment cycle.
Late Payment Act. The Late Payment of Commercial Debts Act lets a supplier charge statutory interest and fixed compensation on invoices paid past agreed terms. Work out what a late invoice is worth → Whether it applies depends on your contract — check with an adviser.

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 6,185 companies with a current statutory report — every sector pooled, not an average of sector medians (how the figure is built).
