Over the next few months your Home Office procurement contacts may mention "Adelphi". This is the programme designed to deliver an Oracle-based ERP system into the Department to improve our HR, Finance and Procurement processes.

Adelphi is introducing standard, ERP supported, procurement procedures. The end-to-end procurement process - from selecting an item to paying for it - will be done through the new Oracle system, with invoices being paid centrally.

Over the next few months we will be writing to suppliers to provide more detailed information on our new purchase-to-pay process and will be providing updates on this website.
