Supplier information

Further information to help you prepare for Oracle Fusion including answers to common supplier questions.

This guidance only comes into effect after the launch of Oracle Fusion 6 January 2023.

When Oracle Fusion will be introduced

  • 6 January 2023 (revised from previously stated 19 December)

iSupplier

  • iSupplier will be replaced with Oracle Fusion Supplier Portal. You should continue to use iSupplier until we provide further guidance on the transition to Oracle Fusion.
  • Fusion will have an invoice scanning solution, so in future, all invoices will be sent to a single email address. This will eliminate invoices being sent to individual employees or teams, with the goal of improving invoice processing efficiency

Last dates and deadlines

Between 25 November and 6 January we will freeze certain tasks while we are changing over from the current iSupplier portal to the new Oracle Fusion Supplier portal.

We will not be able to perform finance and procurement activities in the iSupplier portal after after 6 January.

Submitting invoices

Current purchase orders

  • POs will be transferred from the current Supplier Portal (iSupplier) system to Oracle Fusion

New purchase orders

New purchase order numbers will be emailed to you via the Fusion platform.

Current tenders

  • The tenders will run in parallel for a period of time. Tenders submitted in the old system will be concluded in that system.
  • There will be a cut off date for submitting tenders in the old system.
  • Any tender submitted in the old system before Fusion is live will be concluded in the old system.

Last dates and deadlines

Between 25 November and 6 January we will freeze certain tasks while we are changing over from the current iSupplier portal to the new Oracle Fusion Supplier portal.

We will not be able to perform finance and procurement activities in the iSupplier portal after after 6 January.

Using the new Portal

  • Quick reference guides will be made available. In addition, Fusion is a modern, intuitive system which is very user-friendly

How to register in the new system

  • If you already use iSupplier and are an existing, active supplier to LCC and LFRS, your registration will automatically be transferred to Oracle Fusion and you will receive a registration notification email directly from Oracle Fusion before Go Live
  • If you’re an an existing active supplier to LFRS and LCC and currently email your invoices, you will still be automatically registered in Fusion.

How to become a supplier

  • After Fusion is introduced on 12 December 2022, prospective suppliers will be able to self register to bid on a tender through the system. The registration will then be assessed by the LCC team.
  • Today, all suppliers are required to complete a full registration so the difference is that Fusion will allow for ‘light’ registration. Visit the Fusion Supplier registration page for more information.
  • It is free to register in Fusion

PAMS/iSupplier

Oracle Fusion does not replace PSAMS or iSupplier. It replaces Oracle R12.
