Essential maintenance
Our Corporate Procurement service have advised that there is unfortunately a delay in processing the £500 spend data due to a recent change to the Oracle system resulting in the original report used for the report to now be obsolete.
Corporate Procurement are working with the Oracle Team to build a new report to gather the required information, which they endeavour to have this information available as soon as possible.
