What they tell their suppliers
In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
Our standard terms vary due to the type of supply and are agreed as part of contract negotiations. Suppliers are predominantly paid on 30 days from the month end of invoice, whilst key consultants are paid on 7 day terms. Subcontractors, dependant on contract terms, are paid on 30, 35 or 42 day terms, following the date of assessment
Dispute resolution
There are two types of disputes: 1. Where the site team have not certified the valuation, the site team are tasked to speak with and resolve any differences with the Supply chain/Sub-contractor directly. 2. Where the site team have certified the works and are satisfied the supplier should be paid, there are instances where the Finance team require additional information like insurance details, VAT invoice, Self-billing agreements or CIS verification, in which case the Finance team would request and resolve these issues directly with the supplier.

What a 28-day cycle ties up
Illustrative. On a hypothetical £12k/month account, at a 28-day vs a 7-day payment cycle.
Late Payment Act. The Late Payment of Commercial Debts Act 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 6,185 companies with a current statutory report — every sector pooled, not an average of sector medians (how the figure is built).
