In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
Payments are made within a maximum of 45 days of the receipt of invoice
Dispute resolution
Under Mastercard's standard terms , all undisputed and compliant invoices are paid in accordance with the agreed payment terms. In the event Mastercard disputes the amounts specified in any invoice, the supplier agrees to enter into good faith discussions to resolve any discrepancy or misunderstanding associated with such amounts (and also provide reasonable supporting documentation upon request) Each Business Owner is responsible for addressing disputes regarding services rendered/materials shipped. Non-compliant invoices are rejected by the GBSC Invoice Processing team with a notification to the supplier of what they need to fix on their invoice for it to be compliant. Legal disputes would be referred to legal counsel.

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).
