In their own words · from the filing

Standard payment terms

Spectron Services Ltd ('SSL') deals on third party suppliers’ terms rather than its own and therefore does not have standard payment terms, nor does it require that particular sets of payment terms are included in third party supplier contracts depending on the supplier’s size. SSL does however generally engage with third party suppliers on the following terms: (a) a payment period of 30 days of receipt of the relevant invoice; (b) payment of interest at the rate specified by the supplier in the relevant supplier agreement; and (c) submission to settlement discussions/the English courts (as provided for under the relevant supplier agreement) to determine any dispute if such cannot be resolved amicably between SSL's Accounts Payables and Legal departments and the relevant supplier.

Dispute resolution

SSL deals on third party suppliers’ terms rather than its own. Invoices must be made out to the correct company name and address and sent via email to the Accounts Payables department; any invoice queries are then directed to the relevant person within the business. Disputes are resolved per the process set out in the relevant supplier agreement involving SSL’s Accounts Payables and Legal departments and the relevant supplier. Any dispute would be governed by the governing law/jurisdiction clause in the relevant supplier agreement which is generally English law/English courts.

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).
