How suppliers were notified
Changes made have been communicated to suppliers.
Retention circumstances
Group Property Retention: The specific circumstances in which retention clauses are included are where there is a JCT (joint contracts tribunal).
Aviva Investors Retention: Retention clauses are included where the qualifying construction contract is a building contract
Retention release
For Group Property Contracts - The standard process for release of monies deducted or retained by ACS under any retention clauses for Group Property team qualifying contracts, is that part of the retention is released on practical completion, with the remainder 12 months after practical completion
For Aviva Investors Contracts - The retention will be retained in full until practical or sectional completion of the works under the applicable building contract. Once the works have been certified as being practically (or sectionally) complete, the retention will reduce by 50% until the notice of making good of all defects has been issued in respect of the works (or section) under the applicable building contract, at which point the remainder of the retention will be released.

Reported terms and dispute process
- Standard payment terms
The standard contractual payment terms for supplier is 28 days however this varies for each supplier dependent on the nature of the business. The payment terms for Indirect side of the business (Purchase to pay) is 28 days as standard. For direct business (payments to Motor, Legal and Property), the payment terms ranges from immediate, 7 days, 14 days and 30 days. This is clearly articulated in the contract and negotiated prior to business.
- Dispute resolution process
Aviva has a dedicated team for payment queries to provide support to suppliers and reduce disputes. Any dispute or difference between the parties arising out of this Agreement which cannot be settled amicably will in the first instance be referred to the parties' senior management representatives. If such representatives fail to each agreement, then the parties will attempt in good faith to settle the dispute by mediation in accordance with the Centre for Disputes Resolution (CEDR) Model Mediation Procedure. If the dispute has not been resolved by mediation within 30 days of the initiation of such procedure, or if either party refuses to participate in the mediation procedure, the other party may refer the dispute to the courts of England. The Supplier reserves the right to charge interest on overdue amounts at 2% per annum over the Base Rate of the Bank of England for the time being in force ("Late Payment Interest"), if such amounts remain outstanding 30 days after the supplier has given notice that Aviva has failed to make payment within the timescale set out.

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.
09 Ownership and control
People with significant control
No PSC entry for this company was present in the imported snapshot.
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.
10 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.
11 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.
12 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.
13 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.
14 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.
