THE TEAM

The firm's national non-contentious commercial practice carries out the full range of advice and support on the procurement, award and implementation of commercial contracts to its healthcare, social care, local authority, emergency service and housing clients from across the public and private sectors. The successful candidate will undertake a wide range of high quality and complex procurement and commercial work.

The role will involve advising clients, mainly in the public sector on procurement law issues under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, the Procurement Act 2023 and Procurement Regulations 2024 and the Provider Selection Regime. The role will also involve drafting and advising on commercial contracts. The successful candidate will have experience of:

  • Advising on procurement law issues including advising on the application of relevant procurement law;
  • Advising on project structuring and any procurement issues arising;
  • Advising on the design of a procurement process;
  • Drafting procurement documents;
  • Drafting commercial contracts, including bespoke services and goods contracts, framework agreements and call-off terms, concession contracts, grant agreements, collaboration agreements and contracts based on government standard templates, such as Crown Commercial Services call-off agreements and the NHS standard terms;
  • Drafting variations and waivers;
  • Advising on contract interpretation;
  • Advising on variations to public contracts including whether they are permitted by the relevant procurement legislation and the transparency requirements;
  • Advising on an end-to-end procurement process from preliminary market engagement through to the award of a public contract and contract management;
  • Advising on risks and issues that may arise during a procurement process, such as clarifications raised by bidders and the contracting authority, evaluation and moderation, changes to the procurement process, threatened challenges (although note we have a Procurement Litigation team that supports, advises on and runs challenges);
  • Delivering training to clients/potential clients on procurement law and commercial contracts in practice.

SKILLS

We are looking for someone who:

  • specialises in procurement law and commercial law;
  • has excellent drafting skills;
  • is confident in managing and advising clients;
  • delivers pragmatic advice in a way that clients and colleagues can easily process;
  • will take early responsibility for handling matters;
  • is happy to work independently and co-operatively while in a supportive team environment;
  • will be positive and flexible, is able to prioritise work to meet deadlines, and relishes attention to detail;
  • has excellent commercial awareness;
  • has excellent organisation and time management skills; and
  • has a passion for finding solutions and supporting clients to achieve their aims.

The successful candidate will be both highly motivated and able to collaborate with a team.

The role offers the opportunity to develop leadership skills and will require candidates to demonstrate the ability to build relationships internally and externally and drive forward the development of our procurement and commercial practice.
