In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
Our standard terms vary due to the type of supply and are agreed as part of contract negotiations. Suppliers are predominantly paid on 30 days from the month end of invoice. Subcontractors, dependant on contract terms, are paid on 30 or 42 day terms, following the date of assessment
Dispute resolution
We believe in treating our suppliers fairly and with respect and our approach is outlined in our Supply Chain Charter, For subcontract orders where any disputes arise, these are resolved by the Quantity Surveyor in accordance with the subcontract order. For material orders where any disputes arise regarding quantities delivered these are resolved by the Finance Department who request proof of delivery. Where any disputes regarding invoice rates arise, these are resolved by the Buying Department.

What a 29-day cycle ties up
Illustrative. On a hypothetical £12k/month account, at a 29-day vs a 7-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).
