Any other information about payment terms

Between March and June, the company agreed temporary payment terms with numerous suppliers to support both the company and the supplier through the impacts of Covid-19. We have not reported against the temporary terms, continuing to report against the long-term contractual terms which the company has now reverted to. The company raises payment instructions in line with the agreed payment terms, which make no allowance for fund transmission times. The funds are available to suppliers between 1 and 3 days after the payment terms date depending upon the method of transmission. Supplier would be notified through contract negotiations, should there be any changes to their payment terms.

Dispute resolution process

Where non-payment is caused by invoicing inaccuracy suppliers are immediately informed of held items through the EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) system. Once resolved, payment will be made in accordance with the terms of the contract, unless the invoice is overdue where it will be paid in the next available payment run.
