The Authority’s existing contract for it’s e-tendering tool is coming to an end in January 2023. To prepare for this, the Authority is seeking to enhance its capabilities in the disciplines of sourcing, contract lifecycle management (including performance management) and supplier and risk management. This will be realised through the implementation of a new configurable Digital Procurement Tooling (DPT) tool(s) that will join up the above disciplines and integrate with the Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) tool (the current provider is Workday,Inc. which is used for HR and Finance (including Procure to Pay, this tool is referred to as “P2P System”)). The new DPT tool(s) and integrations will enable efficient and effective governance of the end-to-end procurement lifecycle and contract and supplier management.
