What they tell their suppliers
In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
The percentages provided in the payment statistics above include payments made to Vodafone Group entities providing goods or services to Vodafone Global Enterprise Limited. Vodafone intercompany payment terms include many transactions with payment terms up to 115 days. These payments are included in our reported statistics as required and this therefore impacts the payment statistics. If intercompany payments are excluded from the statistics, they are as follows: Average time to pay in days – 25 Split of payments made under qualifying contracts in the reporting period A) Percentage of invoices paid between day 1 and day 30 (inclusive) – 94% B) Percentage of invoices paid between day 31 and day 60 (inclusive) – 5% C) Percentage of invoices paid on or after day 61 – 1% Payments
Dispute resolution
Any disputes on individual invoices should be raised to the Vodafone Accounts Payable team via our Supplier Digital Portal (http://supplier.ariba.com/) who will work with the supplier to resolve the issue. The supplier will generally receive a response the next day but we aim to respond to all queries within 5 working days. Vodafone Global Enterprise Limited does not currently have a process which records the percentage of payments not made within the payment period as a result of a dispute. As we are unable to accurately report our position, we have entered 0% whilst we work towards correcting this for future submissions.

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).
