In their own words · from the filing

Standard payment terms

It is the Company policy to agree appropriate terms of payment with each supplier, and to pay invoices in line with those terms subject to the timely submission of satisfactory invoices. Payment runs are made weekly for external supplier payments. The weekly payment run will include any invoices due for payment within the next 2 weeks. Inter-company payment rules are governed by the core contract and are generally payable within 60 days. Payment runs for intercompany invoices are run at the end of each month for any invoices payable in that period. For inter-company invoices raised early in a month, these can take upto 90 days to payment. Exceptional items, as defined and agreed within the contract, are deferred for payment to the end of each six month period ending 30 March and 31 Septe

Dispute resolution

The Company is committed to dealing with its suppliers in a fair, honest and professional manner. We seek to resolve queries as quickly as possible to both party’s satisfaction prior to payment being made. Invoice queries are dealt with in the first instance by Accounts Payable who will aim to resolve issues as quickly as possible in order to make payment.

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).
