What they tell their suppliers
In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
Invoices will be paid within a maximum of sixty (60) days from the invoice date by bank transfer to the account specified in the Supplier Information Form. Payments may only be made to a bank account held in the supplier's name and located in the country or jurisdiction in which the supplier is legally incorporated or registered.
Dispute resolution
Invoices with No PO are returned to the supplier to correct. Disputed invoices are queried between the purchaser and the supplier in the first instance. If the purchaser cannot get to a resolution the query is escalated to the accounts payable team to assist in resolution. Invoices are not approved for payment until the query is resolved.

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).
