What they tell their suppliers

Payment code: NHS Better Payment Practice Code

In their own words · from the filing

Standard payment terms

If the organisation has been invoiced incorrectly - e.g. an invoices is made out the the wrong organisation or excludes a valid purchase order number, then the supplier will be contacted and asked to cancel and resubmit the invoice. All invoices where the goods/service have been received, the invoice has been addressed to the correct organisation and submit to the physical address or email address quoted on the purchase order should be paid within the agreed terms. Any invoices that comply with the above but have not been queried within the agreed terms should be queried initially with the Accounts Payable department. The reasons for non-payment will then be investigated and the supplier will be contacted within an agreed timescale with a reason why the invoice has not been paid and

Dispute resolution

All disputes are managed in a timely manner between the parties. The Project Manager lead will work with the supplier to resolve any disputes that arise.

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).
