Swindon, United Kingdom Swindon Borough Council Full time

At Swindon Borough Council, we want our town to be the best it can be. Our ambitious vision is supported by realistic transformation programmes, with the people of Swindon at their heart. Because that’s who we’re doing it for - the communities and businesses that make our town great. As part of the Council, you’ll support a friendly local authority making decisions with real impact. It’s all for better public services. Better processes. And a better quality of life, for everyone. Join us, and Swindon will be better with you.

An exciting opportunity has arisen for someone to join our busy and fast-paced team to support our work in procuring and monitoring services for children. Our team is expanding and so it is an excellent time to join us to be part of the change.

**Your next role**

As a Procurement and Contracts Officer, you will play a critical role in sourcing SEND Provision and Travel arrangements through tendering and other compliant contract award processes. You will provide procurement advice and operational support to Strategic Commissioners to ensure that the Directorate’s service needs are adequately met and contracts are let in accordance with the Public Contract Regulations 2015 (and/or any future regulations as appropriate) and Council’s Standing Orders. The role will also involve contract management, monitoring and reviewing provider performance including analysing and negotiating fees to achieve maximum value for money.

You will be working as part of a supportive and motivated team. We are looking for someone with good communication and negotiation skills and a strong sense of commitment to achieving ‘The best’ for Swindon children.

**We can offer you**
- A supportive team and regular supervision with your line manager
- A chance to learn about the roles of many professionals supporting children and interact with them on a daily basis
- To feel part of a team that are making a daily difference to the lives of children
- A receptive and positive learning culture that wants your ideas and contributions to improving and developing service delivery
- Extended holiday allowance and auto-enrolment into our high performing local government pension scheme.

If you believe you have the skills, experience and enthusiasm to join, help shape this developing team, make a real difference to the lives of vulnerable children and young people and save the Council money through the effective, efficient and compliant procurement of services, then we want to hear from you.
- You must be fluent in the English language (as a requirement of Part 7 of the Immigration Act “for the effective performance of a customer-facing role”)._

**Your next package**

Please see our **Rewards and Benefits** offer for more details.

For Swindon to thrive in the future, we need to lay the foundations now. It’s why our regeneration and transformation programmes are already underway. So, you’ll be joining us at an exciting time on our journey. We’ll look to you to share your knowledge, influence decisions and drive real, positive change. With your contributions, we’ll achieve our vision of a prosperous, re-vitalised Swindon by 2030 together. And you’ll be proud to say it was made better with you.

**Your next steps**

Potential applicants are sometimes put off if they don’t meet 100% of the requirements. We think individual experience, skills and passion make all the difference, so if you meet the majority of the criteria, we’d love to hear from you.
