In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
The Company negotiates and agrees payment terms with its suppliers as one element of its procurement process. As a result, payment terms vary by supplier. Exactly half of these payments in this period are to vendors who are affiliate companies, in these cases payment terms and payment timings may be more flexible.
Dispute resolution
Supplier invoices and payments are managed by our Accounts Payable team. Disputed invoices will be notified to the supplier by the individual who initiated the purchase transaction to ensure that they are investigated in a timely manner and resolved. Invoiced items that are subject to dispute will not be paid until resolution of the dispute, whereupon payment shall be made either within terms or in the next payment run, following resolution.
Other information
Some vendors issue an invoice with a time and cost narrative for approval prior to payment. This approval process can lead to some delay in payment but the vendor is kept informed of the process and, once approved, payment occurs promptly afterwards. However this can result in payment which follows outside of the credit period.

Illustrative. On a hypothetical £12k/month account, at a 24-day vs a 1-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).
