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.

Working-capital effect

What a 38-day cycle ties up

Illustrative. On a hypothetical £12k/month account, at a 38-day vs a 10-day payment cycle.

≈ £15,000

of invoicing outstanding at any one time on a 38-day cycle — about £11,000 more than the same account would carry at 10-day terms.

Late Payment Act. The Late Payment of Commercial Debts Act 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 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 6,185 companies with a current statutory report — every sector pooled, not an average of sector medians (how the figure is built).
