Step-by-step guide to paying for goods and services, from creating a requisition to the supplier being paid.
Purchase to pay (P2P) is a complete purchase system from the purchase of goods to paying suppliers.
When buying goods or services, you should first follow the council’s procurement policies and procedures.
To get support or ask a question about the buying process, contact the P2P through the Assyst portal by selecting ‘Financial Services’ and then ‘Purchase to Pay (P2P)’.
External suppliers who ned support with invoicing and payment queries should contact AP.servicecentre@essex.gov.uk.
