What they tell their suppliers
In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
Our standard payment terms are 30 days net end of month although in some cases payment terms are shorter, where typical payment would be on direct debit, which our banking arrangements prohibit. At Marchwood Power we have one set of standard contracts with one standard for payment terms, irrespective of the type of goods/services/construction being procured and the standard terms which may exist in some of these markets. Our standard payment terms are 30 days net end of month of the invoice date. If a valid invoice is received promptly at the correct address, quoting a valid purchase order it will be included within the relevant payment run. We would only ever knowingly pay outside these terms with the prior consent of the supplier which may be required from time to time for ad hoc reasons
Dispute resolution
At Marchwood Power we try to resolve any invoice disputes or queries as quickly as possible. Queries regarding the status of an invoice can be directed to the Accounts Payable Team via the following email address; [email protected]. We do not offer a web portal service. For specific contractual disputes please contact the individual who initially ordered the goods or services provided. The agreed contractual dispute process will then be followed.

What a 33-day cycle ties up
A worked example, not a finding. On a hypothetical £12k/month account, at a 33-day vs a 30-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 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).
