In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
Our Standard Payment Terms are 30 days, however where we have a contract that denotes less than this then the contract terms are used against that supplier. Any supplier without a contract has the payment terms printed on the purchase order that is sent to them.
Dispute resolution
Any invoice that is disputed is loaded into a query resolution system. The requestor of the goods service communicates with the supplier via phone/email. All emails are uploaded along with the invoice so the dispute can be monitored by the central AP function.

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).
