Payment Terms

Standard payment terms

The full text of our 2025 Standard Conditions of Purchase can be found at: https://www.baesystems.com/en-uk/what-we-do/suppliers/united-kingdom. BAE Systems Marine Limited's standard sub-contract payment terms reflect these terms. However, in accordance with our major prime contract obligations, a large proportion of our sub-contracts provide for payment within thirty (30) calendar days calculated from receipt of a valid invoice.

Were there any changes to the standard payment terms in the reporting period?

Any other information about payment terms

It is not precisely known when payments actually credit into a supplier’s bank account (we do not have systems that accurately record this event). Therefore for the production of the disclosed statistics, we have made a reasoned estimation of when payments have cleared into a supplier's bank account. Where an invoice has been settled through the matching of a credit note, this invoice is not included in the payment statistics. If there is a partial match of a credit note against an invoice, the payment of the remainder of the invoice is included in the payment statistics.

Maximum contractual payment period agreed

45

Dispute Resolution Process

As per our standard conditions of purchase, if a payment dispute arises, then the parties are required to follow a disputed invoicing process and use reasonable endeavours to resolve the dispute amicably. Any disputes that cannot be resolved are subject to arbitration. Our full dispute resolution process can be found in Clauses 9 and 35 of the 2025 Standard Conditions of Purchase at: https://www.baesystems.com/en-uk/what-we-do/suppliers/united-kingdom
