Any other information about payment terms

The Company does not currently have in place a system to capture for all invoices the date of receipt of each invoice. As a consequence the Company has decided to use as the start date the date of invoice. Similarly, the Company’s systems do not have the functionality to identify for all invoices the actual date that the supplier received payment. Also, the Company’s payment systems are set up only to pay invoices on the due date for payment. Accordingly, in its calculation of the time taken to pay each invoice, the Company has added (in accordance with the UK Government’s guidance) the standard time it takes for a payment to clear in the supplier’s bank account (depending on the method of payment). This approach has no doubt contributed to an artificial inflating of the number of days it takes to pay invoices. Accordingly, this should be borne in mind when reviewing the Company’s responses to 1A, 1B and 1C above. Regarding the response to question 1C, if the Company was able to re-set the date of payment 3 days earlier than the payment due date (to ensure each supplier received payment of its invoice in cleared funds), then the actual statistic would be reduced to 7 % for this reporting period.

Other Payment Information

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.

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.
