What they tell their suppliers
In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
Macmillan’s standard payment terms are 30 days. By contractual arrangement, we do have some variation to these standard terms as an exception. Payment to suppliers with immediate payment terms, by definition, will be late payments.
Dispute resolution
Payment queries or disputes should be raised by the supplier to their Macmillan contact; who instructed the purchase of goods and services; and include the Accounts Payable team. All queries received into the Accounts Payable team will be thoroughly investigated and they will endeavour to find a timely resolution to the query.

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).
