FOI REF: FOI2023-1258

You asked

Please could I request a list of invoices that were not paid within 30 days for the last 6 financial years (2017/18 to 2022/23 inclusive) which would feed into the Regulation 113 Notice you are required to publish each year as part of your obligations under The Public Contracts Regulations 2015, with the following information for each invoice (where available):

• The name of the Supplier
• Supplier email address
• Supplier company registration number
• Supplier postal address
• Supplier telephone number
• Supplier website
• The date of the invoice
• The invoice reference
• The gross value of the Invoice
• The date the invoice should have been paid by
• The actual payment date of the invoice
• The total amount of interest liability due to late payment of the invoice
• The total amount of interest paid to the supplier due to late payment of the invoice

Thank you for your request.

The associated download 'ONS Invoices FOI request' details all supplier invoices received by the ONS that were paid later than 30 days for year's 2017/18 to 2022/23. 

The workbook does not distinguish between invoices that were disputed or not disputed with the supplier at the time. The data will therefore contain invoices where payment was withheld for valid reasons, such as waiting on the supplier to provide additional information to allow payment to be made. Zero interest liability has been charged on these transactions. 

We have provided company name and postcode details, further address details are not held on our Finance system but can be accessed by visiting the supplier websites or the relevant webpage at Companies House.
