Company Review

Trend Analysis

BAE SYSTEMS SERVICES LIMITED consistently pays within typical net 30-day terms, demonstrated by an average payment time of 26 days. A strong 88% of invoices are settled within 30 days, indicating a reliable and generally prompt payment trend for suppliers. This trajectory suggests stability in their payment processing.

Volatility Analysis

While most payments are prompt, 11% extending to 31-60 days introduces a minor degree of timing variability for a small portion of invoices. Only 1% of payments exceed 60 days, with 2% classified as late, indicating very low overall payment unpredictability. The data suggests minimal systemic volatility, with only isolated instances of extended delays.

Summary Analysis

BAE SYSTEMS SERVICES LIMITED presents a very low payment risk profile for suppliers, characterized by consistent and predominantly prompt payments. Suppliers can generally anticipate payment within 30 days, but should acknowledge a slight possibility of a minor portion of invoices extending to 31-60 days. No specific risk mitigation strategies beyond standard credit terms are indicated, given the strong payment performance.

Payment Terms

Standard payment terms

Our 2025 Standard Conditions of Purchase provide for payment at the end of the month following the month in which an invoice is received, subject to (i) a valid invoice being properly provided by the supplier and (ii) the relevant Supplies being delivered and accepted by us, in accordance with the contract. The full text of the standard payment term can be located in Clause 9 of the 2025 Standard Conditions of Purchase at: https://www.baesystems.com/en-uk/suppliers/air-sector Whilst the company does contract certain of its material business on the basis of programme-specific bespoke terms and conditions, the relevant payment terms are largely consistent with those contained within the Standard Conditions of Purchase.

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

Any other information about payment terms

It is not precisely known when payments actually credit into a supplier’s bank account (we do not have systems that accurately record this event). Therefore for the production of the disclosed statistics, we have made a reasoned estimation of when payments have cleared into a supplier's bank account. Where an invoice has been settled through the matching of a credit note, this invoice is not included in the payment statistics. If there is a partial match of a credit note against an invoice, the payment of the remainder of the invoice is included in the payment statistics.

Maximum contractual payment period agreed

61

Dispute Resolution Process

As per our standard conditions of purchase, if a payment dispute arises, then the parties are required to follow a disputed invoicing process and use reasonable endeavours to resolve the dispute amicably. Any disputes that cannot be resolved are subject to arbitration. Our full dispute resolution process can be found in Clauses 9 and 35 of the 2025 Standard Conditions of Purchase at: https://www.baesystems.com/en-uk/what-we-do/suppliers/united-kingdom
