Invoice Payment Practices

This information is as reported by the business, and responses are in their own words.

Payment Terms

Standard payment terms

Our standard terms are 30 days following invoice date, although we do have large key supplier agreements in place including 60 days after month end, which account for a large proportion of our supplier invoices. We have some specialist suppliers who require 7 - 14 days.

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

No

Any other information about payment terms

We make 2 payment runs a month and pay all invoices due on those runs. To hit payment terms to the day we would have to run daily runs which is not an efficient way or usual way for an organisation to trade. We have good relationships with all our suppliers.

Maximum contractual payment period agreed

60

Dispute Resolution Process

We would follow the dispute resolution procedure as set out in the relevant contract which would typically include putting the dispute inwriting to the supplier and enter into dialogue to resolve the issue.

Other Payment Information

Has this business signed up to a code of conduct or standards on payment practices?

For example, signatories to The Prompt Payment Code must commit to paying 95% of their invoices within 60 days.
