- Developing and reviewing a sufficiency plan of post 16 provision within Buckinghamshire.
- Effectively managing and maintaining an approved supplier list of post 16 education providers.
- Developing the commissioning approach to a post 16 FE provision
- Leading partner engagement across the post 16 sector
- Oversight of contract monitoring in relation to post 16 provision in Buckinghamshire
