Maximum contractual payment information

Reported terms and dispute process
- Standard payment terms
Our standard payment terms are 30 days from end of month of invoice date however a significant proportion of our invoices are from our motor manufacturer suppliers on which varying terms apply dependent upon the category of supply. As such many of our invoices are paid according to specific terms dependent on the nature of the invoice rather than according to our standard terms
- Other payment-term information
N/A
- Dispute resolution process
Any and all invoice queries will be registered with the relevant supplier by the managing authorising the invoice or by the AP department under instruction from the appropriate manager. All invoices once received are logged on to the accounts payable system but only scanned once approved. As and when a supplier chases payment on overdue invoices the AP department follow up internally and with the supplier. If the query is due to lack of proof of delivery or back-up paperwork the AP department deal directly with the supplier to avoid a delay in payment. From the time the dispute arises the AP acts immediately and endeavours to obtain resolution so that the invoice can be included on the next payment run.

This is an exact normalised company-name match, not a registrar-confirmed ownership link. Another legal entity can have the same or a very similar name. UKIPO data is a historical 2018 snapshot; verify the owner and current status before relying on it.

PSC records are company-filed public-register information. When the exact same displayed individual name occurs at multiple companies, BritDB offers a non-indexed cross-reference page. It is a name match only, not proof that the records describe the same person. Service addresses and partial dates of birth are deliberately omitted.
07 Charity register
Charity Commission links
No exact company-number link in this snapshot
The Charity Commission extract did not explicitly associate this Companies House number with a charity. BritDB does not use a name-only match to fill the gap.
This company-level check covers the Charity Commission for England and Wales. Links are accepted only when the official extract supplies this exact company registration number. Scottish charities now have separate OSCR profiles, but OSCR’s bulk fields do not provide a Companies House number, so BritDB does not infer a company link.
08 Northern Ireland charity register
CCNI exact company links
No unambiguous company-number link found
The CCNI source number did not resolve uniquely to this Companies House record. BritDB did not use a name or address match.
CCNI publishes company numbers without a jurisdiction prefix. BritDB links only when the plausible padded UK and NI candidates resolve to exactly one Companies House company.
09 Sanctions screening
UK Sanctions List
No exact business-registration-number link found
The imported UK Sanctions List did not supply this Companies House number as a UK-linked business identifier. BritDB did not attempt a name-only match.
No exact link is not sanctions clearance. UK restrictions can apply through ownership or control even where an entity is not separately named. Always use the current official list and obtain appropriate advice for a legally significant decision.
10 Public procurement
Find a Tender links
No exact GB-COH link in this snapshot
Find a Tender did not explicitly identify this Companies House number in a procurement party. BritDB did not attempt a name-only match.
These links use only the GB-COH identifier supplied in the procurement record. A company may have other public-sector work that is absent, older, below publication thresholds or published without a Companies House identifier.
