Retention release
Edinburgh Airport withhold 5% of the contract value as a retention from every construction Payment Certification until Completion of the Works (Certificate issued by the Project Manager). Once the works are complete the retention is halved to 2.5%, which is withheld from any Payment Certificates issued thereafter until the Project Manager issues the Making Good Defects Certificate - usually 12 months from Completion Date - at that point the remaining 2.5% retention is paid, assuming no issues are noted.
Retention release stages
Retention value is halved to 2.5% on issue of the Completion Certificate and then remaining 2.5% is released on issue of the Making Goods Defect Certificate - usually 12 months from Completion Date

Reported terms and dispute process
- Standard payment terms
Edinburgh Airport's standard payment terms are 60 days. Micro-entities, as defined by the Companies Act 2006, qualify for reduced payment terms of 30 days. As part of our 'Supplier onboard' terms, invoices will only be processed for payment where the invoice includes a reference to a valid PO number. Payment runs are monthly on a defined date.
- Dispute resolution process
Edinburgh Airport is committed to dealing with its suppliers in a fair, honest and transparent manner, whilst seeking best value for the business. If we dispute any item on an invoice, we aim to (a) promptly inform the supplier of the disputed item and (b) work with the supplier to (1) explain why the relevant item has been disputed; and (2) reach a mutually acceptable outcome. Suppliers are encouraged to contact Accounts Payable on eal_payables@edinburghairport.com with any queries in relation to payment of invoices.

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.
11 Public procurement
Find a Tender links
No exact GB-COH link in this snapshot
Find a Tender did not explicitly identify this Companies House number in a procurement party. BritDB did not attempt a name-only match.
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.
12 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.
