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

How UK payment reporting works

What is a Payment Practices Report?
UK companies and LLPs above a size threshold — broadly, two of: turnover over £54m, balance sheet over £27m, or more than 250 employees — must report twice a year, under the Reporting on Payment Practices and Performance Regulations 2017, how quickly they actually pay suppliers: the average time to pay, the share of invoices paid in 30 days or fewer, 31 to 60 days and 61 days or longer, and their standard payment terms. Those thresholds apply to financial years beginning on or after 6 April 2025; for earlier financial years they were £36m and £18m, with the same 250-employee test.
What does "paid outside agreed terms" mean?
The share of invoices paid later than the terms in the supplier contract. If terms are 30 days and an invoice is paid on day 45, it counts as paid outside terms, regardless of the headline average.
How often is this data updated?
Each report covers a six-month period and must be filed within 30 days of that period ending, so a company's record refreshes roughly twice a year. PaidLate re-reads the register as new reports are filed.
Is this official government data?
The underlying payment figures come from the company's own statutory filings on the gov.uk payment-practices service; company-status data comes from Companies House. PaidLate calculates trends, comparisons and summaries from those records. It does not use surveys or credit-agency scores.

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).
