Dispute resolution

HF recognises the importance of its suppliers and subcontractors in enabling the delivery of a high-quality service. We are committed to maintaining strong working relationships with our supply chain, paying invoices on time, and resolving any disputes promptly and fairly. To support this commitment, we carry out monthly purchase ledger reconciliations to ensure that all supplier and subcontractor invoices have been received and accurately recorded. This process helps to maintain timely payments and effective financial management. In the event of a dispute, we work collaboratively with the supplier or subcontractor to achieve a mutually acceptable resolution as quickly as possible. Where a resolution cannot be reached within a reasonable timescale, the matter is escalated to an appro

Other information

Where contract-specific payment terms are agreed, these are generally aligned with the corresponding client payment terms and are negotiated with individual suppliers and subcontractors. This approach supports effective cash flow management while ensuring fair and transparent payment arrangements across our supply chain.

Working-capital effect

What a 44-day cycle ties up

Illustrative. On a hypothetical £12k/month account, at a 44-day vs a 7-day payment cycle.

≈ £17,500
of invoicing outstanding at any one time on a 44-day cycle — about £14,600 more than the same account would carry at 7-day terms.

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?
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).
