The Dell adapter completes a charge circuit that almost certainly will preclude using a third party adapter.  

There is an OEM adapter that will do the job, and it's not that expensive (use the part number to search the UK for it).

Be careful to understand your seller's return policy -- I  suspect what you'll end up with is an adapter that will power the system but will not charge the battery.  I can guarantee you an adapter that's designed for an HP will never charge the battery in a Dell system.

You can try this USB-C to 4.5mm adapter at your own risk.  It's rated for 20v.
