# Information Technology Payment Practices Report 2022

# UK Tech's Payment Performance: A Mixed Bag in 2022

## The Numbers

*   Companies analysed: 64
*   Average PaymentCheck Score (IT Sector): 67.7/100
*   UK Average (all sectors): 50.0/100
*   IT Sector Advantage: +17.7 points
*   East of England Average: 81.9/100 (8 companies)
*   London Average: 70.6/100 (19 companies)
*   Worst Payer Score: 19.1/100

## What Stands Out

While the UK's IT sector beats the national average on payment practices, a 67.7/100 average score still suggests there's significant room for improvement, considering a perfect score is 100. The sheer disparity between the best and worst performers is also striking, highlighting a lack of consistency across the industry.

## Best Payers

1. [DATALYNX LIMITED](/company-search/04399948/datalynx-limited) - 97.6/100
2. [ITC INFOTECH LIMITED](/company-search/02777705/itc-infotech-limited) - 96.97/100
3. [LIMEJUMP LTD](/company-search/08021376/limejump-ltd) - 96/100
4. [MASS CONSULTANTS LIMITED](/company-search/01705804/mass-consultants-limited) - 95.84/100
5. [COMMVAULT SYSTEMS LIMITED](/company-search/04064244/commvault-systems-limited) - 95/100

## Worst Payers

1. [NOKIA UK LIMITED](/company-search/02650571/nokia-uk-limited) - 19.1/100
2. [EXCLUSIVE NETWORKS LIMITED](/company-search/02900798/exclusive-networks-limited) - 25.69/100
3. [AVAYA UK](/company-search/03049861/avaya-uk) - 31.68/100
4. [MAVENIR SYSTEMS LIMITED](/company-search/02693122/mavenir-systems-limited) - 38.81/100
5. [UNIT4 BUSINESS SOFTWARE LIMITED](/company-search/01737985/unit4-business-software-limited) - 42.15/100

## Regional Patterns

The East of England, with an average of 81.9/100, appears to have the strongest payment culture in the IT sector, based on this sample; London's slightly above-average score of 70.6/100, representing a larger group of 19 companies, may be a more representative indicator of typical performance. The small sample size in other regions means their averages might be skewed by outliers.

It's frustratingly difficult to get paid on time, [late payment calculator](/free-late-invoice-calculator).

Ultimately, the wide spread of scores - from Datalynx's near-perfect 97.6 to Nokia UK's dismal 19.1 - indicates the IT sector isn't a monolith when it comes to paying suppliers promptly.
