In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
Each supplier is required to submit their invoices to the Accounts Payable team in accordance with the instructions on the applicable purchase order. We reserve the right to withhold payment on any invoice until such time as the supplier submits the invoice in accordance with the agreed requirements. The standard payment term is sixty (60) days from receipt of a valid invoice. Some suppliers and supply categories, like essential services, will have payment terms negotiated in advance that will be different from the standard payment term. It is our practice to issue payment for invoices that become due in the next payment run. If an invoice becomes due after a payment run, payment will be issued in the next available payment run.
Dispute resolution
If any invoice is disputed, we agree to negotiate in good faith to resolve the dispute. Suppliers can contact the Accounts Payable team (the current contact details of which are AP Help - [email protected]), or their representative, in connection with disputed invoices, as well as for invoice status and any other payment related questions.

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).
