This Procurement Projects Officer role is currently advertised as part of the Construction & Housing Category Team, delivering procurement activity on behalf of Housing Leeds, Leeds Building Services, Belle Isle Tenant Management Organisation (BITMO) and other internal council departments requiring construction procurement advice and guidance.
This role, and the Construction & Housing team have close links with the council’s Procurement and Commercial Services department (PACS), particularly in relation to professional development and wider strategic aims in relation to procurement - as such there may be some flexibility required to deliver procurement activity for a wider breadth of services for the council in line with strategic aims and priorities.
We are seeking a self-motivated, experienced procurement practitioner with relevant professional qualifications and demonstrable skills or experience in identifying, developing, managing and monitoring procurements undertaken on a regional and/or local authority basis.

As part of the Construction & Housing category team, you will support and/or directly deliver a range of procurement projects that make a difference to the lives of our residents and have positive outcomes for the city.
Housing Leeds manages approximately 54,000 council homes in Leeds, investing in and maintaining these properties through a mix of external contracts, the council’s direct labour force, and two Private Finance Initiative (PFI) contracts.
The Construction & Housing Category Team is currently working hand in hand with service managers to deliver a number of strategic priorities and complex projects, procurements and contracts for Housing, including embarking on priority schemes that contribute to the decarbonisation of the housing portfolio, making significant contributions towards the council’s ambitious environmental target of working towards a net zero carbon city by 2030.
The role will work in close partnership with service managers across Housing, other areas of the council and with our external contractors; making sure that key stakeholders including elected Members, our tenants and leaseholders are appropriately engaged, implementing robust governance, approvals and decision-making processes.
**Skills, abilities and experience**
- Are an experienced individual with relevant professional qualification, (degree, CIPS qualification or equivalent experience in procurement / category management) and demonstrable skills or experience in identifying, developing, managing and monitoring procurements.
- Have an understanding of public procurement law, UK and above threshold procurement legislation, the principles of contracts procedure rules and an understanding of the strategic procurement issues facing the public sector.
