In their own words · from the filing

Standard payment terms

T&W’s standard payment terms are 45 days from end of month of invoice. Small suppliers or companies reliant on trade from T&W have reduced payment terms of 30 days from end of month of invoice. T&W is committed to support small businesses to ensure better cashflow. Subcontractors: T&W’s standard payment terms are 30 days from end of month of invoice. Longer payment terms at 45 or 60 days are agreed with larger subcontractors. The terms for subcontractors with a high labour content or small companies are 7 to 14 days.

Dispute resolution

If a dispute arises between the parties, the parties will attempt, in good faith, to reach an agreement as soon as possible. Suppliers: Queries are raised by the Accounts Payable team with the Procurement team or directly with the supplier at the point the invoice is processed. A further reminder is sent to suppliers by the mid-month of the following month of invoice via email; detailing all transactions held along with reasoning. Subcontractors: Queries are raised by the Accounts Payable team with the Project Managers or directly with the subcontractor at the point the invoice is processed. Details of disputes and agreements are put in writing via email after discussions with the subcontractor.

Other information

Payment terms are reviewed on the regular basis and adapted to support supplier’s circumstances. T&W is determined to ensure fair payment terms and support business with its supply chain.

What a 40-day cycle ties up

Illustrative. On a hypothetical £12k/month account, at a 40-day vs a 7-day payment cycle.

≈ £16,000

of invoicing outstanding at any one time on a 40-day cycle — about £13,000 more than the same account would carry at 7-day terms.

Late Payment Act. The Late Payment of Commercial Debts Act 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?

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 6,185 companies with a current statutory report — every sector pooled, not an average of sector medians (how the figure is built).
