Notice Title
CP&F Supplier Hub
Notice Description
The Authority has a potential requirement to procure a replacement contract for the current Contract, Purchasing and Finance (CP&F) Supplier Hub which is an integral part of the existing CP&F system successfully implemented in November 2016. This service provides the cloud-based interface between the Ministry of Defence (MoD) and its supplier base for supply chain management collaboration, enterprise collaboration and risk management solutions. It provides a supplier user front end to enable them to manage purchase orders and generate and transmit, outbound to CP&F, messages and transactions relating to Advance Shipping Notices, receipts and invoices. These messages and transactions route back by the service into the MoD's CP&F system. It also provides an integration pass-through to facilitate exchange of messages between CP&F and suppliers. Following an appropriate level of matching within CP&F the supplier is then paid via BACS.
