Reported terms and dispute process
- Standard payment terms

The company's standards payment terms is end of month following from date of a correctly submitting invoice, however, on some occasions variations to these standard payment terms may be agreed via contractual negotiations or as a variation request and approval process.
- Dispute resolution process
The company seeks to deal with suppliers of all sizes in a fair and reasonable manner. The operating company seek to respond and address supplier queries as quickly as possible in relation to invoicing or payment. In the event that a dispute cannot be resolved by the central Accounts Payable team it would be escalated in the first instance to Senior Management or the Procurement team for resolution. Contracts will look to define a dispute resolution process as far 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.
07 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.
08 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.
09 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.
