Firstly, ensure that there is no other active supplier that can supply the goods/services required. If the supplier will not be used for repeat orders and the value of the purchase is no more than £3k, the Departmental Purchasing Card or a Request for Payment may be used.  


To start the new supplier process, using the link to the Service Item-Financial Administration, select General from the Request category and provide the name and address of the supplier that you wish to add to FMS.

A member of the BSA team will then respond to your enquiry and provide you with all the information that you will need to provide in order to initiate the process of adding a new supplier to FMS.
