Department for Work and Pensions
The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has the largest non-pay spend in Central Civil Government of £4.2billion per annum. It has 100,000 staff working in 1,200 locations.
Between 2004 and 2006, the Department embarked upon a major Finance Transformation Programme, implementing an Oracle® ERP solution to deliver HR, Payroll, Finance and Procurement services, including Oracle® iProcure. The Department's primary objective was to unify a community of large and autonomous business units into an integrated high performing commercial entity.
To date the programme has delivered the following benefits:
- Rationalisation of a number of legacy finance and procurement systems and arrangements;
- More cost and time efficient processes including eliminating the processing of thousands of paper invoices per annum;
- Enabling a more strategic approach from the Procurement team by automating everyday back office processes;
- Better visibility and control of third party expenditure.
Low Value Provision is a key part of our strategy for getting the right training providers and matching their capabilities with the needs of jobseekers. Partnering with ProcServe has rapidly accelerated the rate that we are able to select training providers and given greater assurance of the right outcome for our customers. The high degree of capability the solution has to integrate with our corporate Oracle ERP instance is the key to making this possible.
