This information has been compiled using data published under the Procurement Act, which requires all contracting authorities to publish a Payments Compliance Notice every six months setting out their payment performance.
Using this Information
Under the Procurement Act, contracting authorities must include 30-day payment terms in public sector contracts and ensure that these terms are passed down their supply chain. Invoices must be paid within 30 days of receipt, not when they are validated.
The figures within the table above have been rounded to the nearest whole number. Further information about a contracting authority’s payment performance can be found in its full Payments Compliance Notice, which is accessible by clicking on the name of the contracting authority in the table above.
Any queries regarding the information contained within a Payments Compliance Notice should be directed to the Procurement Compliance Service. Concerns about payment under a specific contract with a contracting authority should be directed to the Public Procurement Review Service.
