Home Office Standard
Contracts
1. The core Home Office (excluding its Agencies and
NDPBs) is currently running a major business change
project (‘Adelphi’) to implement an Oracle
based ERP system. As part of this work three sets of
standard contract terms and conditions have been developed:
2. During the rollout of the procurement element of
Adelphi over this year, suppliers will increasingly
see the new Adelphi purchase order as existing procurement
systems are replaced.
3. The text of the Adelphi purchase order notes that,
unless otherwise stated, the Standard Terms and Conditions
will apply. In setting up purchase orders procurement
officers will add references to applicable terms if
they differ from the standard terms. Such references
may be to the Services or Consultancy contracts referred
to above, OGC contracts such as S-Cat and G-Cat, contracts
let by other departments and agencies, or specific contract
terms as agreed between the procurement officer and
supplier.
4. The standard contracts can provide for Scottish
law by adding a statement to the purchase order that:
‘The Contract shall be governed by and construed
in accordance with Scots Law and subject to the exclusive
jurisdiction of the Scottish courts’.
5. Suppliers should note that Adelphi purchase orders
bear a unique purchase order number, which must be quoted
on associated invoices to facilitate matching and payment.
