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. As part of the Council's major reorganisation plan, we established a new Strategic Procurement and Governance team and are moving to phase 2 of the growth and development with the creation of some exciting new opportunities within the team.

The Role

As the Senior Procurement Systems Specialist you will be responsible for leading on the various systems that are required for the delivery of an efficient and effective Procurement function for the Council. You will also develop the strategic procurement systems in order to improve planning and tracking of procurements, support contract management activities and improve the effectiveness of e-tendering systems, alongside the development of improved market/spend intelligence.

Day to Day you will take responsibility for activities including:

Ensuring systems have capacity to capture required procurement and purchasing performance information and can report on this
Developing & continually improving dashboards that capture procurement & purchasing performance information from multiple system sources and allow individual Directorates to review their performance/compliance as well as ability to report at a corporate level.
Developing system controls to aid compliance to policies and procedures.
Continually improving the functionality of the e-tendering system to support the strategic procurement process.
Developing and enhancing Oracle Fusion (or equivalent) system functionality to improve the purchase to pay process. This to include the development of supplier self registration and e-invoicing solutions.

The role will be key in making decisions related to enabling effective & compliant strategic procurement, purchasing and contract management through appropriate systems & processes and access to high quality information.

The Person

To be considered for the role you will need to be able to demonstrate a detailed knowledge of P2P and strategic procurement systems functionality as well as demonstrate a working knowledge of change management & project management within a context of system development and implementation. Public Sector procurement experience is also required.
