What they tell their suppliers
In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
KAEFER Limited does not have standard payment terms. Payment terms are agreed with suppliers as part of the supply contract negotiations. The most frequently used payment term in the reporting period was 60 days
Dispute resolution
KAEFER Limited actively seeks to resolve disputes by discussing them with the relevant supplier(s), typically involving members of the accounts payable and credit control departments and /or the procurement and commercial teams and / or where necessary members of management. However, where it is not possible to reach agreement, a number of potential dispute resolution methods (for example, mediation, adjudication, expert determination, litigation and / or arbitration) could be used.

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).
