The read · computed from their figures
Jisc's H1 2026 filing puts their average at 22 days against stated terms of 30 days; 7% of invoices were paid outside agreed terms and 1% took 61 days or longer. Filed 13 Aug 2026.
The direction is faster: from 26 days in H1 2024 to 22 now — 4 days faster across their last 6 reports.
On the latest reported averages: Faster than 80% of the 115 large companies reporting in other services.
That is 18 statutory periods on record (earliest H1 2018) — a historical record, not a promise for a new invoice.
What they tell their suppliers
In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
Invoices for the deliverables may be sent to us on, or after, completion of performance. Each invoice must quote the number of our order. No sum may be invoiced more than six months late. Unless otherwise stated in the order, we will pay the contract price within 30 days of the end of the month in which we receive the invoice.
Dispute resolution
All invoices should be sent to [email protected] where they will be registered to the finance system and matched to a purchase order or contract. Any issues will be raised with the purchaser of the goods and services and it is their responsibility to liaise with the supplier to resolve any disputes. Payment will be made once the purchaser has approved the invoice for payment.

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).
