  • Manage the full tender process, including market engagement, specification development, tender documentation, evaluation, contract award and mobilisation.
  • Build strong relationships with commissioners, operational managers and senior stakeholders to understand business requirements and deliver commercial solutions.
  • Lead supplier negotiations and support effective contract and supplier performance management.
  • Ensure procurement activity complies with the Procurement Act, Contract Standing Orders and internal governance requirements.
  • Analyse category spend, market intelligence and supplier performance to identify savings, efficiencies and service improvements.
  • Promote innovation, sustainability and social value throughout the procurement lifecycle.
  • Support continuous improvement initiatives, knowledge sharing and the development of procurement best practice across the organisation.
