In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
The statistical information provided includes payments to both suppliers and subcontractors. All invoices received require a valid purchase order number. Any invoice received without a valid purchase order number is returned unpaid with a request to resubmit the invoice with the required information.
Dispute resolution
The company is committed to fair dealing with all of its supply chain members, and transparency and swift resolution of disputed items are key principles in this process. The company has dedicated teams, based at a UK Group Shared Service Centre, for dealing with all supplier and subcontractor invoice processing, queries and statement reconciliations. Formal Dispute Resolution Processes are included as terms within many contractual agreements signed with suppliers and subcontractors. The company makes every effort to resolve disputes and queries in a timely manner and within agreed payment terms.

What a 42-day cycle ties up
A worked example, not a finding. On a hypothetical £12k/month account, at a 42-day vs a 30-day payment cycle.
Late Payment Act. The Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998 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 6,104 companies with a current statutory report — every sector pooled, not an average of sector medians (how the figure is built).
