Reported terms and dispute process
- Standard payment terms
Bidwells shall pay the charges for trade suppliers within 30 days of receipt of an accurate and valid VAT Invoice, unless agreed otherwise with a trade supplier. Bidwells shall only be obliged to make payment where Bidwells is satisfied that the work has been performed in accordance with agreement with the supplier.
- Dispute resolution process
If there is a disagreement, Bidwells and the supplier will negotiate and settle the disagreement. Initial Review (0–10 Business Days): AP notifies responsible parties; response required within 10 business days.
Management Escalation (11–20 Business Days): Escalate to the relevant department manager for review and action.
Senior Management Escalation (21–30 Business Days): Escalate to the Accounts Payable Manager and Senior Assistant Management Accountant for formal review and resolution planning.
Executive Escalation (Over 30 Business Days): Escalate significant or aged disputes to the Finance Director and relevant business leadership for final decision.
This is a company-submitted statutory disclosure, not a credit rating. BritDB preserves the reporting period and links the report only through the Companies House number supplied by the official service. Percentages describe payments made during that period and may change in later reports.

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.

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.
06 Ownership and control
People with significant control
No individual or entity with signficant control
- Notified
- 9 April 2017
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.
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.
