Invoice Payment Practices

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

Payment Terms

Standard payment terms

There are no standard payment terms as we believe rather than using supply chain finance, we agree payment terms with our suppliers that are long-term sustainable for both parties. The most frequently used payment terms are 42 days from the end of the period in which the invoice was processed.

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

Dispute Resolution Process

Our business ethos gives our sites freedom of choice of supplier and ordering. Our e-invoicing system allows suppliers to view invoice status at any point. Our site managers approve all invoices as they have placed the order. Any invoice queries should therefore be raised with the manager at the location supplied. If unresolved, suppliers can contact the Purchase Ledger team at the company's support office.

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.

Does this business offer e-invoicing in relation to qualifying contracts?

This is where suppliers can electronically submit and track invoices. It's not just allowing suppliers to email them an invoice.

Does this business offer supply chain finance?

This is where a supplier who has submitted an invoice can be paid by a third-party finance provider earlier than the agreed payment date. The business would then pay the finance provider the invoiced sum.

Under its payment practices and policies, can this business deduct sums from payments under qualifying contracts as a charge for remaining on a supplier list?
