  3. Implement a Business Partnering approach, fostering strong, consultative relationships with internal stakeholders to drive commercial outcomes.
  4. This approach will encourage the adoption of best practices in tender execution and contract management, leading to measurable improvements in cost savings, contract delivery, and supplier performance.
  5. Driving value creation across all procurement activities, ensuring the delivery of key objectives in supplier relationship management, risk mitigation, and cost optimisation.
  6. Support the ongoing transformation, aligning the procurement function with the organisation's broader strategic goals, and contributing to the successful delivery of services.
  7. Ensure compliance with procurement governance and maintain transparency throughout procurement activities.
  8. Collaborate with internal stakeholders to enhance procurement processes and align them with business processes.
  9. Oversee the procurement of materials, services and leasing agreements, ensuring efficient contract reviews, renewals and tenders.
  10. Lead the continuous improvement of purchasing systems, ensuring alignment with legal and financial regulations.
  11. Ensure compliance with Procurement and Financial regulations, overseeing all procurement activities within statutory limits.
  12. Lead the management of lease contracts, stock and other key assets.
Requirements:
  1. Qualified member of the Chartered Institute of Purchasing and Supply (MCIPS) or equivalent.
  2. Demonstrable evidence of continuous professional development (CPD).
  3. Proven leadership skills with extensive experience in senior procurement management within large and complex organisations.
