Company Review

Trend Analysis

MITIE GROUP PLC demonstrates a trend where 61% of payments are completed within 30 days, indicating a commitment to promptness for a majority of transactions. However, the average payment time of 34 days, coupled with 39% of payments extending beyond 30 days, suggests a consistent deviation from immediate settlement. Suppliers should therefore anticipate a trajectory where payments frequently fall into the 31-60 day range.

Volatility Analysis

The payment reliability for MITIE GROUP PLC shows significant volatility, with 30% of all payments being classified as late. A concerning 17% of payments extend beyond 60 days, introducing a high level of unpredictability and risk regarding invoice settlement dates. This indicates that while some payments are punctual, a substantial portion will experience significant and potentially critical delays, impacting supplier cash flow planning.

Summary Analysis

Overall, suppliers should consider MITIE GROUP PLC with awareness of both its majority promptness and significant late payment risk. Key decision factors include the supplier's tolerance for a 30% late payment rate and the ability to manage cash flow given potential 60+ day delays. Recommended risk mitigation strategies include negotiating clear payment terms, actively monitoring receivables, and building potential late payment into pricing models.

Payment Terms

Standard payment terms

Payment terms are agreed with our suppliers on a case by case basis depending on the nature of work, length of relationship, and size of the supplier. The majority of our suppliers are paid on terms of 30 days from the end of the month in which the invoice is dated or better, where 14 days and prompt payment may sometimes be agreed. Depending on the agreement reached with the supplier, payment terms of 60 days from the end of the month in which a correct, undisputed and properly due VAT invoice is received may also be agreed. The business also operates a no purchase order, no pay policy, unless otherwise agreed, in exceptional circumstances, by a duly authorised representative. Invoices received, and which do not include a valid purchase order number, are rejected and returned to the third party.

Dispute Resolution Process

We recognise the strategic importance of our supply chain partners, and as such are committed to treating them fairly. Our preference is to always address disputes in a transparent and timely manner, always acting in good faith, through open and constructive discussion. If such discussions fail to resolve a dispute, an authorised representative of the supplier and the company shall, within 30 days of a written request from one party to the other, meet in good faith to resolve the dispute. If the dispute remains unresolved either the supplier or the company shall refer it to mediation in accordance with the Centre for Effective Dispute Resolution ("CEDR") Model Mediation Procedure that is in force at the date of the referral.
