In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
In the absence of any dispute notified to the supplier and unless otherwise specified in the contract, the Customer shall pay each invoice within ten Business Days of the second month following the month of receipt by the Customer.
Dispute resolution
If a supplier has any disputes or concerns regarding any aspect of our payment process, their first contact would be the contract owner in the business (whose details would be included in any engagement documentation or contract). In the absence of that, suppliers may contact our Accounts Payable department directly through the main switchboard. The aim of any conversation is always to resolve any issue in a timely and collaborative manner, in order to maintain a good working relationship. If those involved are unable to find a solution, then the issue would be escalated within the business operations group to managerial level and above. Our more substantial contracts often contain a dispute resolution process agreed with the supplier that describes various levels of escalation thro
Other information
For the purposes of this report, we have assumed 45-day payment terms (which are generally shorter than those agreed) as the basis for reporting the percentage of invoices not paid within the agreed period. This assumption is based on improved supplier terms and payment data which has enabled us to report more accurately.

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).
