Why Procure-to-Pay?
SSC is adopting a new system called Procure-to-Pay (P2P) to electronically manage procurement to payment processes. SSC P2P is part of the Department’s IST initiative.
SSC P2P will improve internal efficiencies as work related to procurement will be routed automatically for Procurement and Finance employees rather than following the current manual process. Also, delegated managers will provide electronic approvals instead of signatures on paper.

Taking action matters. Taking action with a view to providing service excellence
in a cost-effective way matters even more.
