In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
Each supplier is required to submit their invoices to the Autonomy Systems Limited Accounts Payable team in accordance with the instructions on the applicable purchase order. Autonomy Systems Limited reserves the right to withhold payment on any invoice until such time as Supplier submits the invoice in accordance with the agreed requirements. The standard payment term is sixty (60) days from the receipt of a valid invoice. Some suppliers and supply categories, like essential services, will have payment terms negotiated in advance that will be different from the Autonomy Systems Limited standard payment term. It is Autonomy Systems Limited’ practice to issue payment for invoices that become due in the next payment run. If an invoice comes due after a payment run, payment will be issue
Dispute resolution
If any invoice is disputed, Autonomy Systems Limited agrees to negotiate in good faith to resolve the dispute. Suppliers can contact the Autonomy Systems Limited Accounts Payable Department (the current contact details of which are [email protected]), or their Autonomy Systems Limited representative, in connection with disputed invoices, as well as for invoice status and any other payment related questions.

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).
