Exostar provides P2P training package for MoD and its suppliers

The MoD's Purchase to Payment (P2P) system is used by in excess of 2,000 MoD suppliers - covering a spend value of £2.6bn - with over 98% of these suppliers using Exostar as their chosen connectivity option.

Current use of P2P can mean that end users have no way of knowing what impact the data they enter will have and how well it is translated across the MoD / Industry system’s bridge.

Further, there is a variance in P2P application across MoD Project Teams, causing confusion, inefficiencies and inconsistent ‘work a-rounds’ by suppliers to complete the payment cycle. For the MoD, such differences cause inefficiencies and compromise the quality of data capture and resultant MI.

Suppliers' Lockheed Martin and MBDA collaborated with Exostar and MoD to review both sides of the P2P 'Bridge' with the result that a joint training package has been developed aimed to address these issues by providing a single recommended way of operating P2P.

This training guide is free and accessible to all suppliers and MoD alike on the Exostar website .
