eProcurement

What is it?

With the support and commitment of the Scottish Government's eProcurement Programme and its ePS initiative for public sector buying, we have successfully implemented an ambitious eProcurement programme that has transformed procurement within our organisation.

We advise all current and future suppliers that they must engage with the council in ensuring that we continue to address our requirements as part of the eProcurement agenda. We expect that all parties will continue to progress and build on the achievements so far.

What is the Supplier Portal?

We will change the way in which we interact with our suppliers. We will be moving to a product called Supplier Portal from a company called BizAps. The move to the Supplier Portal will strengthen the established electronic invoicing strategy we currently have in place. You will be contacted directly by us if this development will be rolled out to your organisation.

The introduction of the Supplier Portal will provide new functionality and additional benefits to suppliers, for example you will be able to:

• submit electronic invoices and credits
• view your account in real time
• print remittances
• upload copies of delivery notes against an invoice

Supplier Portal training will be available on this page soon; adobe 9 reader is required to complete this training.
