Payment performance
In accordance with the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 we publish data showing that we comply with our obligation to pay valid and undisputed invoices within 30 days. This includes the amount of interest paid to suppliers and the total liability to suppliers from breaches of the requirements (regulation 113).
