In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
Our standard payment terms are to make payment by BACS in a monthly payment run, within the first week after the end of the month following the month of receipt by the company of a proper invoice or, if later, after acceptance of the goods in question by the company. In effect, this means that we make payment to suppliers under these terms between 35 and 68 days, depending on the timing within the calendar month that the invoice is received. Exceptions to the above policy are made for smaller suppliers such as entertainers, who are paid in the next available weekly BACS run after their performance. Payment terms may also form part of our commercial negotiations with suppliers where appropriate. Terms may be extended or shortened to provide a more beneficial commercial model to
Dispute resolution
We seek to resolve any disputes in a timely manner through discussion with our suppliers. In the first instance, disputes are handled by the company contact who raised the order. If agreement cannot be reached with the order originator, the matter would be escalated to the Head Office Group Purchasing function, who will review the case and seek to reach a prompt agreement with the supplier.

What a 85-day cycle ties up
A worked example, not a finding. On a hypothetical £12k/month account, at a 85-day vs a 68-day payment cycle.
Late Payment Act. The Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998 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.

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).
