What they tell their suppliers
In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
For payments regarding services to the homes we process a BACS run every 2 weeks. We receive an invoice, this invoice is entered onto the accounting system and placed on hold. The invoice is then sent to the relevant departments to be authorised. Once the purchase ledger receives the invoice back, if the invoice is authorised it will be taken off hold and paid on the next invoice run. If the invoice is not authorised a query will be raised with the supplier and will be kept on hold until the query is sorted. Payments for the maintenance department are processed differently from the invoices for the day to day running of a home. Maintenance Invoices are logged onto excel as they are received. The invoices are then coded, checked and then sent out to be authorised. Once authori

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).
