What they tell their suppliers
In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
The Company payment terms can vary by contract, however the standard payment terms are 35 days from application date for sub-contractors and 30 days end of month for supplier payments.
Dispute resolution
The method of dispute resolution will depend on the nature of the query. For sub-contractor valuations the dispute will be dealt with exclusively by the relevant project who will negotiate with the sub-contractor until such time that the dispute is resolved and payment can be made. In the interests of good sub-contractor relations these disputes resolutions are treated as a priority. Missing documents or information, such as the latest insurance certificates, can also lead to a payment to sub-contractors being held. In these cases the Accounts Payable are often involved in informing the relevant project which usually results in no delay to the payment. With suppliers the resolution will also be led by the project who have instigated the dispute but Accounts Payable will also be in

What a 30-day cycle ties up
A worked example, not a finding. On a hypothetical £12k/month account, at a 30-day vs a 7-day payment cycle.
Late Payment Act. The Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998 lets a supplier charge statutory interest and fixed compensation on invoices paid past agreed terms. Work out what a late invoice is worth → Whether it applies depends on your contract — check with an adviser.

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).
