Why we are asking
The ask
Large buyers should publish clear payment terms, measure performance and give small suppliers an effective way to resolve overdue invoices.
Why this matters
A small business should not have to become its customer's lender after delivering the work. Predictable cash flow supports hiring, inventory and investment.
Responsible procurement
Good procurement includes what happens after delivery. Paying undisputed invoices when promised should be treated as a basic supplier-performance standard.
