In their own words · from the filing

Standard payment terms

It is Beacon Rail' policy that procurement managers agree payment terms and terms and conditions for supplier services with suppliers prior to entering into any transactions. Suppliers' invoices are then settled within the agreed terms provided these are submitted in a timely manner. Payment runs are made on a weekly basis and invoices received without valid authorisations are put on hold until such authorisations are received, as per the internal Delegation of Authority. The standard contractual length of time for payment of invoices ranges from Immediate payment to 60 days.

Dispute resolution

Beacon Rail is committed to dealing with suppliers in a fair, timely and professional manner while conforming to internal processes and controls. All supplier' queries are addressed and resolved as quickly and efficiently as possible prior to payment being made. Our escalation process stipulates that in the event a dispute cannot be resolved by our Accounts Payable team, the matter is referred to the CFO and the relevant Procurement Manager. All payment specific enquiries can be made to the Accounts Payable team via telephone or by e-mail.

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 6,104 companies with a current statutory report — every sector pooled, not an average of sector medians (how the figure is built).
