Our response

I confirm that Ordnance Survey does hold the information you have requested.

I am pleased to provide you with the attached Excel spreadsheet with regard to your request.

The information provided shows invoices that have not been paid within 30 days of the invoice date; however, it does not distinguish between invoices that are late, as not all suppliers work within a 30-day payment window, and it does not distinguish between invoices that are disputed or not disputed. Therefore, the information provided contains invoices where payment exceeds 30 days for a valid reason.
