What they tell their suppliers

Offers e-invoicing

In their own words · from the filing

Standard payment terms

Payment of the price and VAT shall be due within 30 days of the date of the Seller’s invoice. No invoice shall be submitted by the Seller to the company prior to delivery of all of the goods in conformity with the purchase order and the specification, or the full and proper completion of the services and no payment shall be payable until delivery of all of the goods or the full and proper completion of all of the Services specified in the purchase order and specification.

Dispute resolution

Suppliers with invoice queries may contact the Accounts Payable (AP) team via email or by direct contact with a member of the team. The AP team will review and investigate the query and liaise with the relevant operational manager where necessary to resolve the issue. Where ODS identifies a discrepancy or query with an invoice, the invoice will be placed on hold and the supplier will be notified promptly with details of the issue. The AP team and operational manager will work collaboratively with the supplier to clarify or correct the information required. Once the matter has been resolved and any necessary amendments have been made, the invoice will be approved for payment in accordance with agreed contractual payment terms. ODS aims to resolve disputes efficiently and minimise delays t

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 6,185 companies with a current statutory report — every sector pooled, not an average of sector medians (how the figure is built).
