What they tell their suppliers
In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
Our standard payment terms are 105 days end of month (unless agreed otherwise). This means that payment will be made on the 105th day after the end of the month of invoice (or the following business day should this fall on a weekend or bank holiday).
Dispute resolution
Our purchase orders contain contact details (email and/or telephone) for the relevant helpdesk or department to which payment queries should be directed by suppliers. All queries are managed in accordance with our internal processes and dealt with as quickly as possible.

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 6,185 companies with a current statutory report — every sector pooled, not an average of sector medians (how the figure is built).
