Cheshire Constabulary’s Business Systems Futures programme has provided a great opportunity for an experienced procurement professional who is seeking an interesting public sector role.

The Organisation

Although Cheshire Police HQ is based at Winsford in Cheshire, it is anticipated that the candidate will not be wholly office based, with the opportunity to work part of the time in an agile fashion.  The successful candidate will join the Strategic Procurement Unit which is part of the recently formed joint Police and Fire Corporate Services department.

The Role

As a Procurement and Contracts Manager, you will:

  • Lead on the contract and procurement process for high value, high risk contracts/procurements within a range of categories;
  • Provide professional advice and support regarding the design and preparation of specifications for tenders and contracts, evaluation, drafting terms and conditions within the context of Public Procurement legislation;
  • Establish and develop strong working relationships with customers and 3rd party providers;
  • Manage the review of existing contracts and Service Level Agreements.

About you

You will

  • Be qualified to level 6 in a procurement or a business related subject.
  • Have a good understanding of Procurement and Contracts Management legislation and best practice in the public sector.

Have significant experience of purchasing and procurement across a broad range of environments, preferably IT, estates and property, and professional services at middle management level which will include the tendering process; drafting, negotiating, and managing the procurement process; monitoring, reviewing, and evaluation of contract compliance.
