Standard payment terms

Our policy is to comply with the standard payment terms of our suppliers. Where no terms are specified we apply 30 days from invoice date. We currently operate a weekly payment run. From the 1st January 2018 we have changed the cut-off point of the payment run, this will mean that suppliers are paid earlier than previously.

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

Answer not provided

Were suppliers notified or consulted about these changes before they were made?

N/A

Maximum contractual payment period agreed

105 days

Our longest payment term is 105 days, this is for one supplier who requested these terms. Our next longest payment terms are 60 days. However, the standard payment term is 30 days unless specified by the supplier.

Any other information about payment terms

Instead of using invoice receipt date, we have used invoice date in our calculations which will impact our statistics. Please note 78% of invoices not paid within agreed terms were only 1-7 days overdue which is related to the weekly payment run we operate. This will reduce now we have implemented a different cut-off from 1st January 2018.

Dispute resolution process

Invoices in dispute go on hold and we contact the supplier to resolve the issue. Once resolved the invoice will be paid on the next weekly payment run.
