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 UK payment reporting works

What is a Payment Practices Report?
UK companies and LLPs above a size threshold — broadly, two of: turnover over £54m, balance sheet over £27m, or more than 250 employees — must report twice a year, under the Reporting on Payment Practices and Performance Regulations 2017, how quickly they actually pay suppliers: the average time to pay, the share of invoices paid in 30 days or fewer, 31 to 60 days and 61 days or longer, and their standard payment terms. Those thresholds apply to financial years beginning on or after 6 April 2025; for earlier financial years they were £36m and £18m, with the same 250-employee test.
What does "paid outside agreed terms" mean?
The share of invoices paid later than the terms in the supplier contract. If terms are 30 days and an invoice is paid on day 45, it counts as paid outside terms, regardless of the headline average.
How often is this data updated?
Each report covers a six-month period and must be filed within 30 days of that period ending, so a company's record refreshes roughly twice a year. PaidLate re-reads the register as new reports are filed.
Is this official government data?
The underlying payment figures come from the company's own statutory filings on the gov.uk payment-practices service; company-status data comes from Companies House. PaidLate calculates trends, comparisons and summaries from those records. It does not use surveys or credit-agency scores.

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).
