VINCI CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT LIMITED posts an average payment time of 39 days, sitting 9 days beyond the standard 30-day benchmark. While 62% of invoices are settled within 30 days, a significant 38% extend beyond that threshold, with 14% taking over 60 days to clear. This distribution suggests a two-tier payment pattern where a majority of invoices are processed promptly, but a material portion experiences notable delays.
A late payment rate of 44% signals considerable unreliability, meaning nearly half of all invoices are not settled on agreed terms. The spread across payment bands — 24% falling in the 31-60 day range and 14% exceeding 60 days — indicates unpredictable cash flow outcomes for suppliers, making revenue forecasting difficult. This level of volatility represents a meaningful credit risk, particularly for smaller suppliers with tighter liquidity requirements.
Suppliers should approach this relationship with caution given the 44% late payment rate and the near-40-day average, which collectively point to systemic rather than occasional payment delays. Before engaging, suppliers should negotiate explicit payment terms, consider applying late payment interest clauses under the Late Payment of Commercial Debts Act, and factor potential delays into cash flow planning. Requesting upfront deposits or shorter contractual payment windows may help offset the elevated risk profile presented by this client.

The Company has a 3 tier resolution process to resolve any disputes and invoice queries with its supply chain on a timely basis. The first tier involves Divisional and Operational staff who should be contacted in the first instance. The 2nd tier would involve the respective category manager and finally if disputes/queries still can't be resolved it can be escalated to the Eurovia UK Supply Chain Executive. To help resolve disputes and queries the Company may request further information. This is the principal area of delayed payment over agreed terms. As part of our drive towards increasing the level of e-invoicing we encourage our supply chain to transmit their invoices via our dedicated electronic EDI / Web portal. Vendors submitting invoices via these methods can track receipt of their invoice and view other status information which will further improve communication between all parties in the event of a dispute. We now have >86% of invoices using this faster process and we see that the vendors using this are seeing improved payment cycles with any discrepancies being resolved much quicker.
