Standard payment terms
nmcn plc's supply chain consists of two categories of supplier, for which the qualifying contract is either a subcontract or a purchase order. For the purposes of this report, suppliers engaged under a subcontract are termed "subcontractors" and suppliers engaged under a purchase order are termed "other suppliers". There are no standard payment terms for subcontractors and terms are negotiated on a contract-by-contract basis. Standard payment terms for other suppliers are 60 days. To determine the number of days taken to make payment, a period of 3 days is allowed for confirmation of documents via nmcn's e-invoicing system.
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?
N/A
Maximum contractual payment period agreed
60 days
The maximum contractual payment period agreed reflects the number of days from the month end after invoice date or invoice receipt.
Any other information about payment terms
nmcn plc is committed to paying its suppliers in line with the due dates for payment. Payment terms for subcontractors are governed by the terms specified in the associated subcontract, and payment due dates are calculated by reference to the date that an application for payment is submitted by the subcontractor under the subcontract. Payment terms for other suppliers are stated on the relevant purchase order and payment due dates are calculated by reference to the invoice date.
Dispute resolution process
nmcn plc seeks to deal with its supply chain in an open, fair and transparent manner. Where disputes do arise, the matters are discussed with the relevant supplier. Such discussions will usually involve the accounts payable and procurement departments in the first instance, but may be escalated to the commercial teams or senior management where necessary. In rare cases where agreement cannot be reached, disputes may be resolved via more formal routes such as mediation, adjudication, arbitration or litigation.
