BAE SYSTEMS SURFACE SHIPS LIMITED reports an average time to pay of 12 days, with 2% of invoices paid outside agreed terms, based on data supplied under the UK Duty to Report on Payment Practices. This reflects payment performance only. This score reflects its most recent reporting period only (2026) -- the same rule applied to every company regardless of how many periods they've filed, so a longer track record is never used to drag a score down. The full 9-period history is shown on the Full Good Business Partner Profile. It has not yet completed the GBP-14 Diagnostic, so this is not a full Supplier Choice Index certification.
Data source: payment-practice figures from 9 reporting periods (2018–2026), as published by the company under the UK Duty to Report on Payment Practices. Score moved from 71 in 2018 to 89 in 2026.
This is a multi-period payment-performance pattern, not a supplier testimonial.
9 reporting periods on file: year-by-year days to pay, late payments, Fast Payment Score, the ≤30 / 31–60 / 60+ day split and the company’s standard payment terms as filed. Shown on the Full Good Business Partner Profile.
