Standard payment terms
Vast majority of our suppliers are paid by DD where onus is on supplier to collect payments when due.
Were there any changes to the standard payment terms in the reporting period?
No
Were suppliers notified or consulted about these changes before they were made?

Maximum contractual payment period agreed
60 days
This relates to a very small number of suppliers who collect payment of their invoices at the end of the month following issue. eg An invoice sent on 1st March would not be collected by supplier by DD until 30 April.
Any other information about payment terms
N/A
Dispute resolution process
I would not describe it as a dispute or complaint but occasionally an invoice can go astray in the post. The supplier would normally phone to say they have not received payment at which point we would obtain a replacement invoice by email and pay the invoice by same day payment to the supplier's bank account.
