IFMS Information for Suppliers and Vendors

St. Michael’s House is introducing a new finance and procurement system called IFMS (Integrated Financial Management System). This is part of a wider programme led by the HSE to bring a single, modern system for finance and purchasing across the health sector.

IFMS will support St. Michael’s House use more consistent and best-practice processes for managing finances and buying goods and services.

The system will be introduced in phases across publicly funded health organisations, including St. Michael’s House. As part of this change, there will be some updates to how suppliers and vendors work with us.

What this means for you as a supplier

With IFMS in place, you can expect:

More electronic processes | Increased use of digital documents, including invoices and purchase orders
Digital catalogues | Some suppliers may be set up on online catalogues, allowing staff to order goods and services more easily
Centralised invoicing | All invoices for St. Michael’s House will be sent to and managed by a central shared services team within the HSE.

These changes are designed to make processes clearer, faster and more consistent for everyone.

What support will be available

We understand that these changes may affect how you currently work with us. To support you, St. Michael’s House will provide:

A dedicated helpdesk for supplier queries
FAQs and user guides

Our aim is to make this transition as smooth as possible and to support you every step of the way.
