In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
The Company’s standard payment terms for non-construction contract related payments is 30 days. For construction contracts the payment terms are largely dependent on the specific requirements of individual projects. When calculating the number of days to make payment for construction contracts in this reporting period, the Company has reported the time to pay from the due date to the final date for payment. In prior periods it had added 7 days to reflect the general range of days between an application date and a due date for those contracts governed by the Housing Grant, Constriction and Regeneration Act 1996.
Dispute resolution
All queries regarding non-payment of invoices should be discussed with the Lendlease contact as specified on the Lendlease Purchase Order. Escalation can be managed through the Lendlease Customer Service team. Further escalation will be managed internally when required. For any qualifying subcontracts, any dispute or difference between the parties are subject to the laws of England and Wales and the jurisdiction of the English courts. Payment under construction contracts is subject to statutory adjudication pursuant to the Housing Grant, Construction and Regeneration Act 1996. Only a very small proportion of our payments become the subject to the adjudication and/or court proceedings.
Other information
The Company operates on standard payment terms of 30 days for non-construction related contracts, unless the Company agrees to different terms requested by a supplier.

What a 38-day cycle ties up
A worked example, not a finding. On a hypothetical £12k/month account, at a 38-day vs a 10-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).
