Maximum contractual payment information
Payment terms do vary across suppliers mainly based on the type of service provided and the nature of the supplier. The agreed payment terms with suppliers range from payable immediately to the longest agreed payment terms which are payable 60 days net from which FedEx Express UK Transportation Limited receives a correctly rendered invoice. Once an individual payment term is agreed with a supplier FedEx Express UK Transportation Limited will not unilaterally change the agreed payment term without the agreement of the supplier.
Retention circumstances
Whether a construction contract includes retention clauses depends on various factors including the nature, scale, value and complexity of the project/contract and whether we have an existing relationship with the contractor.
Retention parity policy
Not applicable – no retention clauses have been applied to us on the same project
Retention release
The release mechanism usually aligns with standard forms of contract, predominantly JCT (Joint Contracts Tribunal) contracts. The release mechanism is not usually conditional on the performance of obligations under another contract. The application process and percentage rate returned at each stage is executed in accordance with the terms of each individual contract.
Retention release stages
There is no standard position but generally a 5% retention is withheld until practical completion. Following practical completion the first half of this retention (2.5%) is released, the remaining half (2.5%) is withheld until the end of the rectification period. If the works are completed in sections then this applies to the sectional works accordingly. It may sometimes be agreed that the retention percentages apply only to a certain percentage of the value of the works (e.g. a 5% retention in respect of 15% of the value of the works)

Reported terms and dispute process
- Standard payment terms
The preferred payment term for FedEx Express UK Transportation Limited is the payment of invoiced amounts within 45 days of receipt by FedEx Express UK Transportation Limited of a correctly rendered invoice.
- Dispute resolution process
"FedEx Express UK Transportation Limited has a dedicated Accounts Payable helpdesk that offers support via email (apquery_EU@fedex.com).
All queries sent via email will automatically issue the supplier with a unique ticket number. The ticket system ensures the suppliers queries are acknowledged within a maximum of three working days. All communication between the supplier and the service desk team will be recorded within the ticket number provided – this can be viewed at a later time by the team if required.
Disputes involving more complex issues such as non-performance, pricing discrepancies or breach of contractual terms will be referred to FedEx Express UK Transportation Limited’s Procurement teams to liaise with the supplier."

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.
12 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.
13 Environmental register

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.
