The Company’s standard payment terms are 90 days from date of valid invoice. It is the Group’s policy to agree appropriate payment terms for each transaction or series of transactions, and to abide by those terms on the submission of a valid invoice. The Company regularly agrees variations to the standard terms with individual suppliers depending on the nature of the goods/services and other circumstances. Within Schedule 6.1, paragraph 16.2 of our franchise agreement with the Department for Transport, we have a commitment to ensure that all our Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) suppliers are paid within thirty days of the receipt of an invoice from such SME suppliers.

The Company is committed to dealing with suppliers in a fair, consistent and transparent manner. We seek to resolve any invoice queries as quickly as possible between the Accounts Payable team and the relevant supplier. If a dispute cannot be resolved it is escalated to the relevant Head of Department and Procurement.
