Standard payment terms
We have standard payment terms of 30 days, but the procurement organisation allows for shorter payment terms for smaller suppliers during the contract negotiation process. Sub-contractors are typically paid within 28 days. We operate a weekly payment run with invoices due falling into the next payment run. If this was adjusted in the metrics, the proportion of late payment would be more inline with other British Gas and Centrica Group entities.
Were there any changes to the standard payment terms in the reporting period?
