  • Taking lead responsibility for end-to-end low value procurement projects within a category of contracts.
  • Supporting the procurement for endtoend above threshold procurement projects within a category of contracts.
  • Supporting commissioners and stakeholders across the council in their procurement requirements and procurement compliance requirements.
  • Delivering against identified opportunities for collaboration and joint procurement for the category of contracts.
  • Updating and maintaining the Council's contracts register and purchasing pipeline for the category of contracts.
The Person


To be considered for the role you will need to be able to demonstrate a good understanding of procurement governance processes as well as knowledge of Public Contract Regulations 2015 and best practice related to public procurement.
