In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
Northern Ambition Academies Trust in general accepts the payment terms proposed by suppliers. In some cases payment is requested on receipt of invoice, so these suppliers are treated as having terms of zero days. Where suppliers do not propose terms, our default terms are to settle all valid invoices within 30 days. We endeavour to pay invoices from small businesses or sole traders as quickly as possible within these 30 days.
Dispute resolution
Any disagreements with amounts invoiced by suppliers will be raised by the individual responsible for the expenditure or a member of the finance team. Complaints by suppliers should be directed in the first instance to the individual responsible for the expenditure or the Trust’s Finance Manager. Should the matter remain unresolved this may be escalated to the Director of Finance and Operations.

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).
