In their own words · from the filing

Standard payment terms

Standard payment terms are 30 days from the receipt of a valid VAT invoice from the supplier, provided that there is no dispute over such invoice. Save for limited exceptions, invoices must state the relevant purchase order number, the Supplier’s full name, registration details, bank account details along with wire transfer instructions, a description of the services or goods supplied, and shall provide such evidence as may be required to enable the South Hook to approve payment of such invoice (e.g. timesheets). South Hook may set off amounts owing to it from the supplier where it has the right to do so. In the case of a disputed invoice, payment will not be made unless and until such dispute has been resolved to South Hook’s satisfaction. Any undisputed invoice that remains un

Dispute resolution

South Hook aims to settle any disputes amicably to the extent possible and without detriment to either company. In instances where an invoice includes an element of undisputed charges, South Hook works with the Supplier to agree partial payment of the invoice for these amounts. In such instances, the Supplier shall submit a full credit note for the disputed invoice and shall re-issue a new invoice setting out only the part of the original invoice that is undisputed. The following steps are taken in the event of a dispute: • The nominated South Hook Contract Manager will inform Procurement and Finance Departments immediately to place the invoice on hold. • Procurement will validate the cause of dispute and advise the Contract Manager on an appropriate course of action. • Finance will

How UK payment reporting works

What is a Payment Practices Report?
UK companies and LLPs above a size threshold — broadly, two of: turnover over £54m, balance sheet over £27m, or more than 250 employees — must report twice a year, under the Reporting on Payment Practices and Performance Regulations 2017, how quickly they actually pay suppliers: the average time to pay, the share of invoices paid in 30 days or fewer, 31 to 60 days and 61 days or longer, and their standard payment terms. Those thresholds apply to financial years beginning on or after 6 April 2025; for earlier financial years they were £36m and £18m, with the same 250-employee test.
What does "paid outside agreed terms" mean?
The share of invoices paid later than the terms in the supplier contract. If terms are 30 days and an invoice is paid on day 45, it counts as paid outside terms, regardless of the headline average.
How often is this data updated?
Each report covers a six-month period and must be filed within 30 days of that period ending, so a company's record refreshes roughly twice a year. PaidLate re-reads the register as new reports are filed.
Is this official government data?
The underlying payment figures come from the company's own statutory filings on the gov.uk payment-practices service; company-status data comes from Companies House. PaidLate calculates trends, comparisons and summaries from those records. It does not use surveys or credit-agency scores.

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).
