E-procurement

E-Procurement has been used in DWP since 1997 to buy print, envelopes, stationery and computer consumables. DWP is now moving to a new Purchase to Pay (P2P) system, based on Oracle software. This will enable internal customers to purchase virtually all goods and services electronically.

The first phase of introducing universal P2P capability went live in December 2005 with a second phase due in February 2006. Other areas of procurement will be implemented at a later stage.

All invitations to tender for DWP business now explain how P2P will operate for each commodity type.

This page will be used to keep you updated on the development of P2P. For further information you can contact:
