Last updated on 6 September 2026
Image Representing Doing Business With ALPS

ALPS Pte Ltd (“ALPS”) purchases drugs, medical and non-medical supplies and equipment, and services for Singapore’s three Public Healthcare Clusters (“Clusters”) and their Public Healthcare Institutions (“PHIs”).

ALPS enables group contracts at the national level whilst continuing to facilitate Cluster or PHI-based contracts where required. Suppliers are encouraged to refer to the National Sourcing Events calendar for upcoming sourcing launches on ALPS eProcurement platform.

WHAT'S NEW

As we move towards standardising electronic invoicing to improve transparency and payment timeliness, all awarded suppliers are required to be registered on SAP Business Network prior to submitting invoices.

INVOICE SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS

1FSS, together with the Clusters and ALPS, has implemented SAP Business Network as the single platform for all invoice submissions and payment processing.

Please refer to the implementation timelines below for invoice submissions on SAP Business Network. Invoices sent via email, on paper, or any other channels after the dates listed below will no longer be accepted for payment.

Acceptance of the TRR is mandatory for establishing the supplier-customer relationship with ALPS Pte. Ltd. on SAP Business Network and is a prerequisite for transacting electronically and submitting invoices.
