Here’s what you need to do:

 

    1. Check for Active Suppliers: Make sure there isn’t another active supplier who can provide the goods or services you need.
    2. One-Time Purchases: If the supplier won’t be used for repeat orders and the purchase value is no more than £3,000:
      • You can use the Departmental Purchasing Card.
      • Alternatively, you can submit a Request for Payment.

 

Here’s how to start the new supplier process:

 

  1. Click on ‘Submit a query to IS Business Support’.
  2. Within the Financial Administration service item, select ‘Add new Supplier to FMS’ from the Request category.
  3. Fill in the mandatory fields that appear.

 

A member of the BSA team will then start the process of adding the supplier to FMS and will update you once the supplier has been added. Please note that this process can take some time, as both Procurement and Finance have tasks to complete before the supplier can be added to FMS.
