Maximum contractual payment information
The maximum contractual payment terms of 90 days falls outside our current standard payment terms. These terms are only used for older contracts which have not yet fallen due for renewal.
Retention circumstances
Retention clauses are included in standard supplier terms and framework templates, so that retention amounts/% could be included if required on a job by job basis, but it is not standard practice to apply retention payments and it is only used in limited circumstances. There are no hard rules when retention payments are applied - the decision would be based on discussion between project managers and the commercial team, taking into account the value, the length of programme, the contractor, the nature and risks specific to the project and the retention provisions applicable to Severn Trent Services Operations UK Limited on the specific project.
Retention parity policy
Where Severn Trent Services Operations UK Limited is itself under contract when retention is applied, the retention amounts in sub-contracts would not exceed those applicable to Severn Trent Services Operations UK Limited under the main contract.
Retention release
Typically 50% of the retention amount is released on completion of the works and the remaining 50% at expiry of defects period (12 months following completion). Our suppliers would apply for retention through the standard monthly payment application process. The release is not conditional on the performance of obligations under another contract.
Retention release stages
Typically 50% of the retention amount is released on completion of the works and the remaining 50% at expiry of defects period (12 months following completion). Our suppliers would apply for retention through the standard monthly payment application process.

Reported terms and dispute process
- Standard payment terms
Severn Trent Services Operations UK Limited’s standard payment term for new contracts is 30 days; this applies across all contracts raised and would be agreed with suppliers prior to the commencement of the trading activity.
On occasion, authorisation may be granted to reduce the payment terms below 30 days if there is commercial requirement/benefit in doing so. Such a change requires approval from the Commercial team. We would not attempt to impose payment terms longer than 60 days on any of our suppliers, nor do we use early settlement discounts as part of contractual arrangements. - Other payment-term information
N/A
- Dispute resolution process
If communication between the purchaser and supplier fails to resolve the dispute, the Commercial or Finance team will engage with the supplier and the business user to bring about a resolution.

We've entered into a partnership with EcoVadis, an independent assessment tool, which provides a risk profile of our suppliers and the support we may be able to provide them in mitigating MS risks.
Demonstrated progress
Page 4 of our modern slavery statement provides detail on our progress and actions towards addressing modern slavery risks over the past year. Page 25 addresses our key KPIs which we use to monitor and report on the effectiveness of our actions to mitigate against modern slavery.
Reported risks and mitigations
- Risk: Due to its complexity and breadth, our supply chain is the element within our organisation that poses the highest risk of modern slavery. The risk primarily lie with our; Tier 1, 2 and 3 suppliers.
- Area: Within your supply chains
- Tier: Tier 1 suppliers Tier 2 suppliers Tier 3 suppliers and below
- Mitigation: To further assist in the management of potential risk, contracted suppliers undergo a continual risk assessment and heat mapping process, monitored by a team independent to the Procurement and Contract Management team. The top 50 high-risk suppliers identified through this process are flagged to the responsible specialists. They conduct a deeper risk assessment and continued monitoring of the supplier, including a focus on modern slavery and worker welfare.

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.
TM UK trade marks
Exact owner-name matches
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.

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.
