Reported terms and dispute process
- Standard payment terms
90 days. No changes were made to the standard payment terms during the reporting period. If we agree Supply Chain Financing with Suppliers, this maybe increase. This is currently 180 days for the suppliers with which this is in place.
For the ESN (IBS) project, the payment terms for the Supplier are 30 days in line with the UK Government directive for all Suppliers working on this project. - Other payment-term information
Invoicing and payment shall be made electronically via PDF in accordance with Ericsson’s instructions. Paper invoicing is no longer supported. A valid invoice shall at a minimum contain a reference to the PO, Seller’s name and address, and specification of the Products or Services purchased. With deviation from what otherwise may be provided for under applicable law, it is expressly agreed that payment shall be effected within ninety (90) days from the date of complete and successful delivery of the Products or Services, including any documents, and receipt of a correct invoice. Further guidelines and requirements for invoices, including support for e-invoicing and supplier self-service can be found at http://www.ericsson.com/thecompany/sourcing/supplier-partner-resources/invoicing-payments. In case of delayed payment of approved invoices, the seller shall notify Ericsson thereof and Ericsson shall thereafter expedite the payment.
Invoice payment in 30 days due for ESN project as specified by the UK Government. - Dispute resolution process
If the dispute cannot be resolved through the regular Sourcing contact, then the general position is that the dispute would initially be escalated to the UK Head of Vendor Management and if not resolved, would be escalated further to the UK Head of Sourcing for final resolution.
If the dispute is not resolved at this stage, the dispute resolution process outlined in the General Services Agreement between Ericsson and the Supplier will be affected. This involves notification of the Managing Directors of both parties, a mediation request made and being granted, and Expert determination being consulted. In the event that the dispute is not resolved by these means, the dispute goes to arbitration, involving legal (and ultimately court) proceedings.

A registry entry records what the organisation declared in its statement. It is not an independent audit. Group statements can cover several companies; BritDB preserves each exact source-supplied company-number link and excludes approver names and email addresses.
07 Data protection
ICO fee-payer registration
Ericsson Limited
Registration Z6559393
- Registered from
- 15 April 2002
- Current end date
- 14 April 2027
This is a candidate association, not an official Companies House link. The ICO file supplies no company number. The organisation name and postcode uniquely matched this company in the current snapshot. BritDB excludes all DPO contact fields and does not publish unmatched personal entries.
08 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.
09 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.
10 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.
11 Public procurement
Find a Tender links
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.
12 Environmental register
Environment Agency waste registrations
No exact company-number registration linked
The licensed Environment Agency subset did not contain this exact Companies House number. BritDB did not attempt a name-only match.
This is a privacy-reduced, exact-company subset. The full official register also includes sole traders and applicants without a matching Companies House number. Check the current Environment Agency register before relying on registration status.
