In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
It is the Company’s policy to pay supplier invoices within the supplier terms and to abide by those terms based on the timely submission of satisfactory invoices. Supplier payment terms are agreed individually with each supplier either prior to or upon commencement of a service or the delivery of goods. The most common payment terms agreed during the period were 60 days.
Dispute resolution
Disputes should be resolved to adhere to payment terms. All our suppliers have clear contact details for our Accounts Payable team, so if they have any disputes or complaints they can contact the company by either email or phone. The accounts payable team will reach out to the invoice contact if not clear from the system why the invoice has not been approved for payment.
Other information
The company operates weekly payment runs, the analysis provided is based on the company’s policy to pay invoices in the payment run on or following the due date

Illustrative. On a hypothetical £12k/month account, at a 49-day vs a 0-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.

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).
