Standard payment terms

Earlier payment terms are available and can be agreed in certain circumstances or where there is a contractual requirement and a Client payment profile that enables reduced days to avoid unnecessary financing costs. In some situations agreements have been made with our supply chain partners, in particular with national suppliers, to pay their invoices after a period greater than 60 days, as they do with our payments. Of those payment terms where the terms of payment have been agreed at < 60 days then 96% of payments are made within the 60 day payment period. We are working on alternative solutions and processes to further improve this %, subject to agreeing changed contract conditions that then enable enhanced payment terms with our principle Public clients.

Were there any changes to the standard payment terms in the reporting period?

No

Dispute resolution process

The Company has a 3 tier resolution process to resolve any disputes and invoice queries with its supply chain on a timely basis. The first tier involves Divisional and Operational staff who should be contacted in the first instance. The 2nd tier would involve the respective category manager and finally if disputes/queries still can't be resolved it can be escalated to the Eurovia UK Supply Chain Executive. To help resolve disputes and queries the Company may request further information. This is the principal area of delayed payment over agreed terms. As part of our drive towards increasing the level of e-invoicing we encourage our supply chain to transmit their invoices via our dedicated electronic EDI / Web portal. Vendors submitting invoices via these methods can track receipt of their invoice and view other status information which will further improve communication between all parties in the event of a dispute. We now have >89% of invoices using this faster process and we see that the vendors using this are seeing improved payment cycles with any discrepancies being resolved much quicker.
