Connect Suppliers Ariba

​​​​Connect Suppliers Ariba

Connect Suppliers Ariba provides organisations with efficient management of purchase orders, product and service catalogues, invoices, and payments.

The implementation of Connect Suppliers Ariba will improve the way suppliers do business with the Government of Jersey, simplifying and standardising the way we work together and removing process complexities.

Benefits of Connect Suppliers Ariba include:

• real time tracking of purchase orders and invoice status on your Connect Suppliers Ariba supplier account dashboard
  
• easier payment and status reporting
• higher degree of data accuracy from supplier account self-maintenance capabilities
• no cost to you to register on Connect Suppliers Ariba or transact with us

Later phases of the Integrated Technology Solution Programme (ITS) will focus on how new tenders are managed and our contract management processes. You should continue to use the current purchasing and tender systems until advised otherwise.

What this means to you (our supplier)

All suppliers need to register for an account to continue to transact with Government of Jersey. 

Government of Jersey only requires suppliers to use the free standard account at a minimum and are not mitigating fees for suppliers opting to register a fee-based enterprise account or for existing enterprise account users.

All future procurement and account payable transactions with Government of Jersey will be conducted through Connect Suppliers Ariba. This system will deliver enhanced levels of functionality including real time purchase order (PO) delivery and invoice automation.
