In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
For an invoice to be held as valid the supplier should invoice for the contract price payable in accordance with the contract after the end of the month in which the goods or services have been provided. AWE pays all amounts due to the contractor within 30 days after receipt of a valid invoice.
Dispute resolution
In accordance with our internal dispute resolution process, disputes will be first reviewed by the Category Manager and where possible a resolution will be agreed between the Category Manager and supplier. The contract will be reviewed to ensure that any dispute resolution terms are adhered to.

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).
