For the majority of our suppliers we have standard payment terms of 30 days from date of invoice. We have 60 or 90 day standard terms with certain large suppliers with which we have a long term partnership. We will also accept standard terms of immediate payment upon receipt of invoice for suppliers of an ad hoc nature.

We have a formal, written dispute process with our key suppliers (covering c80%) of the spend. All other suppliers where we have a dispute we will raise with the supplier and work together to resolve in a timely manner.
