We are dedicated to providing the best services to our residents and are looking for talented individuals to join our team and help us achieve our goals.

Procurement

Whilst the Council as a whole is focussed on instilling financial discipline and making services more efficient, it is essential that as a Procurement Team we achieve savings from existing contracts and through replacing expired or expiring contracts.

Using an understanding of the essentials of contract law and public procurement legislation to provide advice on sub-threshold procurements
The role will also be responsible for working with stakeholders on a project by project basis to ensure compliance to the purchasing and procurement process for agreed areas of expenditure. This to include controls to ensure purchase requisitions/orders are related to valid, live contracts.
