Lewes, United Kingdom East Sussex County Council Full time

Job Introduction
Sourcing Solutions Specialist

Are you a positive, assertive and enthusiastic person looking for brilliant opportunity to start a career in Procurement? Do you enjoy working with people to proactively solve problems? Do you enjoy buying best value products and services? If so, Sourcing Solutions, part of the Orbis partnership, may be the right place for you. Due to our successful track record we are looking to expand our vibrant energetic team.

The team is responsible for sourcing contracts below the Public Contract Regulations threshold for various South-East Councils. The range of contracts you will be sourcing are extremely varied. You might be buying natural play trails and on-line learning one week, then tree planting and library furniture the next. By obtaining quotes through a competitive tendering process, we aim to get the best quality goods and services at the right price. We advertise locally and nationally, so opportunities are open for local businesses and this also ensures best value for residents.

Procurement experience is not required as full training will be given but commercial buying experience or other back office experience is helpful. Previous team members have gained valuable experience in the Sourcing Solutions Team and secured promotion into more senior roles delivering complex projects.

We are looking for people who:

- Are committed to delivering great customer service
- Are able to consistently follow procedures and offer innovative ideas for improvements
- Are able to plan and organise their work effectively
- Have good basic IT skills and a will to learn and use software systems
- Want to be part of a busy, supportive, and friendly team
- Want to contribute to providing high-quality public services across the South-East.

This role offers hybrid working between in-office and remote working and full IT equipment is supplied.
