<p>This information is not held centrally, but public sector buyers are required to
publish annually on their payment performance.</p><p>Central government departments
are required to pay 80% of undisputed and valid invoices within 5 days, with the remainder
paid within 30 days. Government departments publish performance against these targets
on a quarterly basis on GOV.UK.</p><p>Data published in 2015-16 shows that by the
final quarter all major departments, apart from one (at 76%), were meeting their 5
days target and that all departments were paying at least 96% of their invoices within
the 30 day target, with several departments achieving 100%.</p>
