Challenge

Procurement and finance were fragmented across 20 autonomous health boards, each with its own systems, priorities and governance. The sector needed one view of what to buy, and one finance platform to buy it with.

What I did

  • Led the £20M+ sector-wide procurement: operating model design, requirements, RFP construction and evaluation.
  • Designed and implemented Procurement, AP, AR, Stock Management, FA and R2R on Oracle Fusion, with unified EDM/MDM, managing Accenture as systems integrator.
  • Defined and owned the finance data migration strategy: suppliers, customers, stock items, open AP/AR, fixed assets and opening balances.
  • Reported directly to the deputy Health Minister to secure governance approval, funding and long-term commitment.
