The payment charter and prompt payment code
We support the Prompt Payment Code, demonstrating our commitment to fair payment. We strongly believe that fair and transparent payment is essential to our supply chain partner relationships and the delivery of successful projects.
Better together
Our diverse supply chain provides us with innovative ways of working. It also allows us to maintain capacity in a growing construction market. We recognise that prompt payment maintains cash flow and provides confidence, helping to secure investment and jobs.
We continue to work hard to deliver on our payment commitments and we are determined to improve further.
Our payment terms
Our most frequently used payment terms are 30 days from receipt of invoice. In some cases, the payment period is 30 days from the end of the month in which the invoice/application was presented.
Payment performance reporting
We report our payment performance every six months, in line with legislative requirements.
Construction sector data published under the Duty to Report on Payment Practices and Performance shows that Skanska UK’s supplier payment performance improved period on period throughout 2024.
