In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
The standard payment terms, for normal suppliers, are 30 days end of month (averages at 45 days). However, the vast majority of our suppliers relate to limited company contractors. In this situation, PPF Ltd self-bill raising invoices weekly on a Wednesday. These invoices are back-dated to the previous Saturday (end of period) and paid on the Friday. Hence, the standard payment terms are 6 days. As the majority of the purchase invoices are generated under a self-billing arrangement our payment statistics are better than might be expected.
Dispute resolution
Any invoices which are disputed are queried with the supplier by the purchase ledger team.

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).
