Reported terms and dispute process
- Standard payment terms
Go South Coast Limited, subsidiary company of The Go-Ahead Group, follow group policy and agree appropriate terms of payment with suppliers for each transaction or series of transactions, and abide by those terms once suppliers present a valid invoice. The company normally settles trade payables on 30 day terms and these invoices are paid in the week following their due date, however variations to these terms do exist based on agreements with certain suppliers. There have been no changes to the standard payment terms in the reporting period.
- Dispute resolution process
Go South Coast Limited is committed to paying our suppliers in an honest, prompt and professional manner while seeking best value for the business. We endeavour to resolve any invoice queries as quickly as possible, communication between the Accounts Payable team and the relevant supplier is instigated to resolve the matter. In the event that a dispute cannot be resolved by our accounts team, it would be escalated to the Shared Service Manager who will investigate and mitigate the issue.

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.

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.
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.
