What they tell their suppliers
In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
Purchase ledger (supplier payments) – Our standard payment terms are ‘net monthly’, being payment to the supplier by the end of month following the month of invoice. Practically this can result in a payment period between 28 days and 61 days. Sub-contract ledger – Our standard payment terms are variable and between 35 – 63 days, being payment to the sub-contractor variously within 35 – 63 days of the due date. Statistical information provided represents a combination of purchase ledger supplier and sub-contract payments.

What a 78-day cycle ties up
A worked example, not a finding. On a hypothetical £12k/month account, at a 78-day vs a 28-day payment cycle.
Late Payment Act. The Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998 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 6,104 companies with a current statutory report — every sector pooled, not an average of sector medians (how the figure is built).
