Maximum contractual payment information
The 136 days end-of-month calculation means an invoice received on the 1st of a month could theoretically be paid 136 days later.
Reported terms and dispute process
- Standard payment terms
With respect to goods purchased for resale (GFR), payment will be made in the weekly payment run that follows the 75th day (or following business day should this fall on a weekend or public holiday) after the end of the month on the later of: (i) the date of invoice; (ii) the date of receipt of a valid invoice; and (iii) the date on which we receive the relevant goods and services in full. Boots will make a deduction of 2.5% of the invoice value after VAT for payment made by that date.
With respect to goods and services not for resale (GNFR), standard settlement terms are 2.5% 105 days end of month. This means that payment will be made on the 105th day (or following business day should this fall on a weekend or public holiday) after the end of the month of invoice, with a deduction of 2.5% of the invoice value before VAT for payment made by that date. - Other payment-term information
The average payment days is lower than the standard reported terms owing to the high volume of Group company payments which are typically on shorter terms than third party suppliers, and suppliers with individually negotiated non-standard terms.
- Dispute resolution process
Purchase orders contain contact details (email and/or telephone) for the relevant help desk or department to which payment queries should be directed by supplier. Queries are managed in accordance with internal processes and dealt with as quickly as possible.

The supplier link is exact, but the award remains buyer-published procurement data. BritDB requires the GB-COH identifier supplied in the Contracts Finder OCDS release and does not infer suppliers from similar names.

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.
09 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.
10 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.
11 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.
