What they tell their suppliers
In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
The Company aims to pay all undisputed invoices within 5 days from the date of invoice, however there are some vendors which are setup for immediate payment or others with 30 day contracted payment terms. The agreed formal payment terms for reporting and monitoring purposes is 30 days.
Dispute resolution
The Company uses the Council's Accounts Payable Service. Invoices which don’t match the purchase order / goods receipt will be blocked and investigated. Blocked invoices on the financial system are monitored to ensure they don’t become overdue. A customer service telephone number is available to suppliers for invoice queries.

What a 8-day cycle ties up
A worked example, not a finding. On a hypothetical £12k/month account, at a 8-day vs a 5-day payment cycle.
Late Payment Act. The Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998 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?
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).
