**Job Title: Procurement Business Partner**

**Salary**: £30,179 per annum

**Hours**: Full Time (35 hours per week, Mon-Fri)

**Contract Type**: Permanent

**Department**: Finance & Commercial

**Location**: London(UK) / Hybrid Working

We are currently working remotely due to the pandemic, but we are planning for a return to hybrid working soon. We are working with our teams to plan this, and for most roles, this will mean a mix of office based and remote working. Working life does not always have to be nine to five and we support flexible working wherever possible. Please contact our **resourcing** team about the flexibility we could offer for this role.

**About Us**

**The Health and Care Professions Council**

is a UK-wide regulator, committed to delivering high quality, efficient regulation in order to protect the public. We regulate 15 professions, including paramedics, radiographers, occupational therapists, and biomedical scientists.

We regulate by:

- deciding what it takes to be a member of one of our professions;
- approving education programmes which will produce competent graduates who are safe to treat people;
- keeping an accurate register of people who are legally able to call themselves one of our 15 professions; and
- Investigate when a professional is not meeting our expectations of safe practice and conduct.

The HCPC is full of talented and committed people with a shared purpose of protecting the public. And while we’re all unique, we share something in common. It’s the values by which we live and work**:Fair, Compassionate, Inclusive, Enterprising.**

**About the role**

The Procurement Business Partner is responsible for ensuring that the organisation purchases the goods and services that will best help us achieve our goals. Generally, that means finding supplier partners that strike a balance between quality and cost. Additionally, Procurement Business Partner responsibilities include reviewing past purchases made by HCPC. This evaluation determines vendor effectiveness, compliance and ultimately, the business’s return on investment (ROI).

**Key responsibilities**
- Liaising with directors and senior managers across the organisation to fully understand their requirements for procurement advice and support. Develop procurement arrangements to satisfy those requirements, and put in place regular feedback and review mechanisms.
- Implementing and reviewing all Procurement strategies, policies and procedures, to meet the HCPC’s strategic and operational objectives and ensure compliance with legal requirements.
- Developing and maintaining a corporate contracts register, to provide a comprehensive picture of HCPC contractual arrangements and retendering requirements.
- Liaising with business managers to provide proactive advice and support on all purchasing and contracting activities, in particular: the development of business cases; specification of requirements; market analysis; tender evaluation and contract award; risk management; change control procedures; ongoing contract management and post contract reviews.
- Contributing to the identification and delivery of business improvement projects to streamline the HCPC’s procurement arrangements.
- Contributing to the HCPC’s annual efficiency programme by delivering target savings in procurement activities. Help to manage key supplier relationships to deliver performance improvements in cost and/or quality.
- Providing user training to ensure that procurement policies and procedures are widely understood across the organisation. Implement arrangements to ensure full compliance with policies and procedures.
- Maintaining a detailed awareness of current and emerging procurement best practice, new legislation and Government guidelines and ensure that HCPC processes are updated accordingly.

**About you**
- A proven track record of acting as change agent, working proactively in a collaborative and supportive way to make systems and procedural change happen.
- Experience of running a full tendering process and an understanding of the legislation, awareness of public sector regulations, good practice and project management principles surrounding this.
- Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
- Excellent relationship and stakeholder management skills, at all levels of the organisation.
- Able to challenge and influence decisions at all levels with an assertive and confident approach to managing conflict and gaining credibility quickly.

This role is exciting, fast moving and plays a key role in the continued success of the business. If you are passionate about systems and data and enjoy Business Partnering, where you can make a real difference, and can see the direct impact your contributions can bring to an organisation, then this role is for you.
