Fair payment

Skanska is committed to applying fair and transparent payment terms for our supply chain.

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.

The latest set of construction sector data, published under the Duty to Report on Payment Practices and Performance, shows that Skanska UK’s supplier payment performance has improved (for the period January 2023 – June 2023).  

In 2022, Skanska UK implemented a major business transformation programme to introduce a new ERP system. As with all new ERP implementations of this scale we had some short-term challenges adjusting to new ways of working, but these are now starting to work well. This has resulted in an improvement across all measures.

A summary of the latest reports for Skanska UK’s relevant legal entities is published below, covering the period 1 January 2023 to 30 June 2023.
