Reported terms and dispute process
  1. Standard payment terms

    Unless stated otherwise in the purchase order, payments will be made to suppliers 60 days after the end of the month in which the invoice has been received subject to the invoice bearing the purchase order number and providing the goods have been delivered and all requisite contract documentation submitted in accordance with the contract prior to the receipt of invoice. The date of a valid invoice for these purposes shall be deemed to be 2 days prior to actual receipt of the invoice by the Purchaser, notwithstanding any other date stated on the invoice. The Company feels it has an obligation to meet the guidelines of the Prompt Payment Code and aims to pay 95% of supplier invoices within 60 days

  2. Dispute resolution process

    Protec Fire Detection Plc is committed to dealing with all of its supplier chain members fairly. Transparency and swift resolution of disputed items are key principles of this process. We have a dedicated Team members within the Purchase Ledger department who deal with all supplier queries and any aged invoices.

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

Snapshot 29 September 2026
CCEW

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.

i

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

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.

Report 8 October 2026
UKSL

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.
