Standard payment terms
We do not have standard payment terms, instead they range from immediate payment due, to 61 days. The longer 61 day credit terms are for plant hire which are generally high volume, low value invoices. Payment terms are agreed with suppliers as part of contract negotiations. The most frequently used payment terms in the reporting period were 30 days. Suppliers are paid on a weekly basis by BACS.
Were there any changes to the standard payment terms in the reporting period?

Dispute resolution process
We are committed to resolving any disputed invoices quickly. We perform monthly purchase ledger reconciliations to highlight any invoices which are not on the ledger and to request these from suppliers. Separately, we also actively pursue goods received notes and service reports from site and suppliers. However, where it is not possible to reach agreement, a number of potential dispute resolution methods (for example, mediation, adjudication, expert determination, litigation and / or arbitration) may be used.
