Central Government pays over 80% of undisputed invoices within 5 days. Public Sector authorities are required to pay within 30 days upon receipt of a correct invoice and we encourage suppliers to report issues of late payment to Cabinet Office's Mystery Shopper service.<\/p>

We are currently implementing Lord Young\u2019s recommendations to ensure that contracting authorities will have a clause in all new contracts mandating payment within 30 days of an undisputed invoice all the way down the supply chain.<\/p>

The Cabinet Office will be issuing guidance to contracting authorities on this new legislation, including standard contract clauses that can be used in all new contracts.<\/p>
