What they tell their suppliers
In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
The purpose of this policy is to provide clear guidelines to employees, suppliers and all other stakeholders in respect of the payment policies of Leonardo UK Ltd. The over-riding principle when writing the policy is to ensure suppliers are treated fairly, and that the company and our suppliers both benefit from reasonable terms of payment, that are both achievable and do not adversely affect cash-flow for either party. We therefore endeavour to ensure: • The company aims to ensure suppliers are paid on time within the terms agreed at the outset of the contract. • The company will not attempt to change the payment terms retrospectively without good reason. • The company will not change practice on the length of payment for smaller companies on unreasonable grounds. • The company
Dispute resolution
The company is committed to dealing with suppliers in a fair, honest and professional manner regarding any payment disputes. If a supplier has any dispute or concern regarding a payment, their first contact should be with their procurement relationship contact within the business. In their absence, an alternative route would be to contact the Leonardo UK Ltd accounts payable department. In the event that those involved are unable to find a solution, then the issue can be escalated through the relevant managerial levels with the business.
Other information
Other Information on payment terms & calculation methods The supplier invoice date has been used instead of the invoice receipt date, in instances where we currently have no other consistent reliable method of recording the date of receipt. Our date of receipt is measured from the date the invoice is received by our Accounts Payable team and this is used as the basis for the report. However, some of these invoices are not contractually due from this date. Those that relate to workshare partner performance on certain contracts are contractually due from the point that we receive payment from our customer on behalf of the partner which can often be some time later. This results in adverse reporting on workshare partner invoices, whereas in fact we are complying with our agreed payment

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).
