If $G$ is a finite group, the Grothendieck group ${\mathbf{K}}\_G(G)$ of the category of $G$-equivariant ${\mathbb{C}}$-vector bundles on $G$ (for the action of $G$ on itself by conjugation) is endowed with a structure of (commutative) ring. If $K$ is a sufficiently large extension of ${\mathbb{Q}}\_{\! p}$ and ${\mathcal{O}}$ denotes the integral closure of ${\mathcal{Z}}\_{\! p}$ in $K$, the $K$-algebra $K{\mathbf{K}}\_G(G)=K \otimes\_{\mathbb{Z}} {\mathbf{K}}\_G(G)$ is split semisimple. The aim of this paper is to describe the ${\mathcal{O}}$-blocks of the ${\mathcal{O}}$-algebra ${\mathcal{O}} {\mathbf{K}}\_G(G)$.
