Dorchester, Dorset, United Kingdom https:jobs-redefined.cositemap Full time

This is an exciting opportunity to join Commercial & Procurement as a Senior Procurement Officer and be part of a dynamic team that is supporting the Council to be more commercially minded as set out in its Commercial Strategy - Commissioning and Procurement.

The Council procures a diverse range of external goods, services, and works which range from Stationery to ICT Infrastructure (Corporate); Speech Therapy to Residential Placements (People - Children); Adult Day Services to Residential Care (People - Adults); School Transport to Highways Surface Dressing (Place);

There has never been a more important time to deliver effective procurement and contracts in light of ever challenging budget reductions and having to work within supply markets amid one of the hardest inflationary environments seen in decades, and the forthcoming Procurement Act 2023.

In this context, delivery of the Council's ambition to make Dorset a great place to live, work and visit, requires resourcefulness, being commercially minded and more business-like in our approach.

By joining Commercial & Procurement, you will be part of a team that is making a major contribution in delivering this ambition through ensuring commercial arrangements and contracts awarded by the Council represent value for money to residents of Dorset.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Develop and promote the business partnering approach, working alongside other Business Partners within the team and Corporate Development.
  • Support Directorates on the delivery of their strategic aims.
  • Provide commercial advice and guidance to officers and suppliers.
  • Support the delivery of being more commercially minded in what we do.

We are interested in candidates that have:

  • Effective communication skills with the ability to work with multiple stakeholders, internally and externally.
  • Experience of supplier relationship management and contract management.
  • A commercial background.
  • Knowledge of project management and able to project lead.
  • Knowledge of procurement practice.
  • Aware of public sector procurement and the changes coming in 2025.
  • Knowledge of how markets and supply chains work, with the ability to apply this to secure value for money and efficiencies.

This is a hybrid role, with a balance of remote working and office working (Dorchester), depending on business and project requirements.

We offer a range of benefits, including:

  • Access to a range of training opportunities which will help with your personal development and career progression.
  • We are proud to be a Disability Confident Employer.
