Dispute resolution
There is an Accounts Payable department who are first point of contact to the supplier in case of invoice status query. The department can be reached via generic email addresses and phone numbers, suppliers are advised via supplier remittances to use those when they have questions in this regard. The accounts payable team investigates the issue, sometimes in cooperation with sites and administration departments; they then provide an answer to the supplier.

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).
