In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
Standard payment terms for suppliers is 60 days terms, however many suppliers in the system are set much lower than 60 days terms. Suppliers currently on shorter than standard terms are granted 'Grandfather rights' allowing them to continue on their current terms. As new suppliers are added, or new agreements are created with current suppliers, accounts will be set to 60 days terms during contract negotiation.
Dispute resolution
All invoices are processed by the Accounts Payable team. Any invoice under query or subject to dispute will not be paid until satisfactory resolution is found. Any invoice under query or subject to dispute is handled by the Procurement department (with support from Accounts Payable) in accordance with our standard operating procedures as defined in the business manual.

What a 45-day cycle ties up
A worked example, not a finding. On a hypothetical £12k/month account, at a 45-day vs a 7-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 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).
