**Job summary**:
I would like to add my personal welcome to you, and I hope that you will be inspired to join us. After 20 years working in procurement in the private sector across several industries, including manufacturing, construction and utilities, I wanted a change to work in an environment that was more personally and socially rewarding and to bring my skill set and make a difference across government spend.

The opportunity to work in the Civil Service arose and was closely followed by the creation of the Government Commercial Organisation (GCO), which I joined in 2016. The opportunity to work on some of the most complex and high value contracts was a challenge that was just too exciting to turn down.

Joining the GCO has been an exciting professional challenge combined with the chance to create amazing outcomes for all of us in society and work with dedicated teams.

The Home Office works to keep our citizens safe and our country secure. As well as working to reduce crime, enforce the law and protect our borders, it also works to protect the most vulnerable and is at the cutting edge of public policy making - our work is among the most challenging and rewarding in Government. Our commercial teams have been at the forefront of the Department’s responses to the COVID 19 pandemic, the protection of our borders and society.

The Home Office spends approximately £3bn each year with third party suppliers and this is managed by Commercial Directorate, a team of around 300 procurement and contract management professionals. The range of goods and services acquired is huge and includes services to complex programmes that are unique in Europe with multi-million-pound contracts.

At the Home Office, you will have the chance to make a real and tangible positive impact to the country’s future structure, impacting the lives across the UK and work on a broad range of Missions from Borders and Migration, Public Safety and our Homeland security, the Emergency Services Mobile Communications Programme, Digital Data & Technology.

What we do matters and the opportunity to turn policy into reality is at the forefront of the commercial work we do and seeing the difference it makes to our country is hugely rewarding.

**Job description**:
These posts are within the Commercial Property Portfolio, which is there to support the HO in providing suitable, safe, secure and sustainable buildings incurring a spend over £250m per annum on outsourced Facilities Management (FM) contracts to a wide range of service providers. It is not uncommon for individual contract spend to be over £50m per annum and include a wide range of complex and innovative contractual mechanisms. We also generally spend between £150-200m each financial year on a range of projects from major refurbishments and security upgrades, to lift and boiler replacements and £180m on energy and sustainability.

The Commercial Property Portfolio is part of the larger HO Commercial Directorate, which employs over 400 commercial professionals (including those through GCO).

Role Summary:
One role will involve leading the property professional services category, developing a new category strategy, and leading on procurement activity for all specialist property services that support the operation and maintenance of the HO estate. This area includes procurement of contracts for estates professional services to manage property disposals, acquisitions and management of rents and rates, as well as contracts for audit and monitoring of FM suppliers, property surveys and strategic planning advice. You will also support wider strategy development for the Property category and work to proactively manage the commercial pipeline across the portfolio.

An additional role in this portfolio will involve working as part of a wider commercial team leading procurement activity to deliver the business objectives. This Programme will aim to deliver new FM contracts across the estate that deliver an improved operating model that best meet the needs of the department.

All roles will involve the opportunity to lead individuals or a small team of other commercial professionals. You will develop and maintain positive relationships with a broad range of internal and external stakeholders and encourage collaborative relationships as appropriate. Your professional expertise and judgement will be relied upon and valued by senior colleagues.
