What they tell their suppliers
In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
Saipem Limited’s standard payment terms are 60 days from receipt of invoice. Supplier payment terms are generally negotiated “back to back” with our main client payment terms which are defined by project, these are usually 30, 45 or 60 days therefore shorter payment terms than 60 days can be agreed.
Dispute resolution
Typically, our standard terms for dispute settlement are as follows: SETTLEMENT OF DISPUTES xx.1 PURCHASER and SUPPLIER shall use their reasonable efforts to resolve any disputes or claims arising out of or in connection with the PURCHASE ORDER in an amicable manner. xx.2 In case of a dispute either PARTY shall send a notice to the other detailing the matter giving rise to the dispute (“NOTICE OF DISPUTE”). The dispute shall initially be referred to PURCHASER’s Representative and SUPPLIER’s Representative who shall make all reasonable efforts to settle the dispute amicably. Failing an amicable settlement within 30 (thirty) days from the receipt of a NOTICE OF DISPUTE from a PARTY, or such other term agreed between the PARTIES, then the dispute shall be referred to senior exe

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).
