[ref. c8126121] Commercial and Procurement Practitioner
The Force's recently established small Procurement Team has an exciting new vacancy, playing a key role in the service. The position would be well suited to a motivated and ambitious individual with a commercial background, looking for a development opportunity and to take the next step in their career.
The Commercial Practitioner takes the procurement lead on a range of diverse tactical and operational projects, offering both variety and challenge. The role will primarily focus on tendering a wide range of contracts, with a need to draw upon experience and apply commercial acumen.
Having strong working relationships with colleagues and agreeing mutually acceptable procurement and contracting solutions will be pivotal success factors. The service is to be seen as an enabler in meeting the Force's needs.
We are looking for someone who is capable of working autonomously, as well as part of a team. The role requires you to take a meticulous approach to the authoring of procurement documentation, whilst giving due consideration to the Public Contract Regulations.
The roles are available on a full-time basis of 37 hours a week. However, for the right candidate, we could also offer part-time hours of a minimum 30 hours a week, if preferred.
We are looking for someone who possesses, or is working towards a relevant procurement qualification, such as MCIPS, and recent experience of working under the constraints of public procurement law will be an advantage. However, candidates would be considered where experience and transferable commercial skills are evidenced.
If you want to make a real difference to the community and share our passion for commercial excellence and are willing to be challenged and stretched, then this role could be for you!
