What they tell their suppliers
In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
Most frequently used payment terms are 30 days from date of invoice, making up 80% of the payments made in the reporting period. The remainder of payments are mostly on 14 days from date of invoice payment terms (15%).
Dispute resolution
Initial communications with suppliers regarding disputes will take place between purchase ledger team and the supplier over phone/email. If dispute continues, then we will gather back-up documents and approvals, and send these to the supplier, and the supplier will send any back-up documents to us, and our purchase ledger manager will be involved. This will generally result in a resolution, however under some circumstances the relationship holder with the supplier may be involved to escalate the matter.

Illustrative. On a hypothetical £12k/month account, at a 23-day vs a 0-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.

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).
