What they tell their suppliers
In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
Our standard payment terms are 60 days from date of invoice. These terms apply to the majority of our supplier contracts, and the maximum contractual payment period we use is 60 days. Shorter terms are agreed with certain suppliers where commercially appropriate, and a small number of suppliers are paid by direct debit or on terms set by the supplier. Our standard payment terms did not change during the reporting period, and no changes were notified to or consulted on with suppliers.
Dispute resolution
Where an invoice is disputed, the supplier is notified by our accounts payable team and the invoice is placed on hold pending resolution. Disputes are typically raised in relation to pricing, quantities received, or a mismatch between the invoice and the associated purchase order. The relevant budget holder or contract owner investigates the query with the supplier and, where a resolution requires a credit note or a revised invoice, this is requested from the supplier. Once the dispute is resolved, the invoice is released for payment in the next available payment run. Suppliers may raise queries at any point by contacting our accounts payable team directly, and unresolved matters are escalated to the Financial Controller.

Illustrative. On a hypothetical £12k/month account, at a 67-day vs a 30-day payment cycle.
Late Payment Act. The Late Payment of Commercial Debts Act 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 6,185 companies with a current statutory report — every sector pooled, not an average of sector medians (how the figure is built).
