In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
Our standard payment terms are month end plus 30 days.
Dispute resolution
If an invoice is disputed for either price or quantity, it is place in dispute and communicated to the supplier. Our policy states it must be communicated to the supplier. The issue is then resolved with the supplier and paid.
Other information
Whilst it looks like a lot of our payments are late this is due to the fact we make one bacs run per week. As a result 69% of those paid after the due date are paid within 5 days or less. 93% of those paid late are paid within 15 days or less of the due date.

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).
