Standard payment terms

The Company’s standard payment terms for non-construction contract related payments is 30 days. For construction contracts the payment terms are largely dependent on the specific requirements of individual projects. When calculating the number of days to make payment for construction contracts in this reporting period, the Company has reported the time to pay from the due date to the final date for payment. In prior periods it had added 7 days to reflect the general range of days between an application date and a due date for those contracts governed by the Housing Grant, Constriction and Regeneration Act 1996.

Dispute resolution process

All queries regarding non-payment of invoices should be discussed with the Lendlease contact as specified on the Lendlease Purchase Order. Escalation can be managed through the Lendlease Customer Service team. Further escalation will be managed internally when required. For any qualifying subcontracts, any dispute or difference between the parties are subject to the laws of England and Wales and the jurisdiction of the English courts. Payment under construction contracts is subject to statutory adjudication pursuant to the Housing Grant, Construction and Regeneration Act 1996. Only a very small proportion of our payments become the subject to the adjudication and/or court proceedings.
