In their own words · from the filing

Standard payment terms

We have standard payment terms of 45 days for operating expenditure. In respect of energy payments applicable to the energy market in which the business operates we are bound in some cases to shorter terms.

Dispute resolution

Any disputes the suppliers should contact the relevant person within the business. The Accounts Payable team will provide information and assistance accordingly.

Other information

A Suppliers’ guide has been designed to help our suppliers understand our buying process and to prevent any undue delays in the payment for goods and services. To prevent a delay in invoice processing, invoices must be clearly legible and should include the purchase order number, a description of the goods and/or services, and the price payable. Invoices should be issued electronically to [email protected] or by post to the billing address specified on the purchase order. Invoices issued without the above details may not be accepted and may be returned for amendment before being processed.

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).
