Trade and other payables: amounts falling due after more than one year | 17. Trade and other payables: amounts falling due after more than one year The following are included in trade and other payables falling due after more than one year:
| 2024 |  | 2023
| £m |  | £m
Contingent consideration liabilities | 76 |  |  | 126 |

The Group considers that the carrying amount of trade and other payables approximates their fair value, except for liabilities in respect of put option agreements with vendors for which the fair value is approximately £68 million (this is level 3 fair value that is derived using a discounted cash flow approach) at 31 December 2024 (2023: £82 million). The Group's approach to contingent consideration liabilities is further described in note 23. The following table sets out contingent consideration liabilities, comprising contingent consideration and the Directors’ best estimates of future contingent consideration-related obligations:
