In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
Whist our standard payment terms are now 60 days EOM, at this time, these standard payment terms are not applied across our entire business. There is a wide range of payment terms offered by, and negotiated with, our suppliers. Our payment hubs, hosted on multiple legacy systems, operate either weekly or fortnightly payment runs. We are following up with certain suppliers who have not yet transitioned to these standard payment terms.
Dispute resolution
Payment disputes are typically initially referred to the finance function, who will try to resolve them by agreement through discussion with the supplier. If resolution cannot be reached within a reasonable period, or technical in nature, the matter will typically be escalated to the procurement function, who will try to reach resolution by agreement through further discussion with the supplier. As necessary, appropriate further dispute resolution mechanisms provided for in the contract will be used (i.e. reference to mediation, arbitration or litigation).
Other information
The date of receipt of supplier invoices is not recorded. Reported statistics are calculated from the date of invoice. Supplier receipts of payment dates are unknown. For reporting purposes, receipts of payment dates are estimates. Within our procurement programme, our intention is to introduce best practices and optimise to a suite of standard payment terms across the business.

What a 52-day cycle ties up
A worked example, not a finding. On a hypothetical £12k/month account, at a 52-day vs a 1-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).
