Sefton Council is looking for three experienced Procurement Category Managers to join our Corporate Procurement Team at an exciting time of transformation.

This is an excellent opportunity to play a key role in delivering high-quality, compliant and value-for-money procurement across a diverse range of goods, services, works and ICT projects.

The key responsibilities of the role include:

Provide guidance at all levels of the council on the application of the Council’s Contract Procedure Rules
Support the Council Service Teams and accepting accountability for the outcomes of high value projects throughout the tendering, evaluation, contract award and contract management within agreed timelines
Proactively question and challenge Council practice and procedures based on technology improvements, updates in legislation and the application of best procurement practice
Influence strategic spending decisions across the Council by working in partnership with the Council’s Commissioners, Contract Lawyers and external advisors/partners to develop strategies which maximise value for money, minimise risk and exposure, align Council policies which include the Contract Procedure Rules to ensure that are up to date at all times
Apply expert knowledge, including training when required, experience and support to Service and Project Teams in early market engagement, taking key services to market and advising on appropriate routes to market
Support the implementation and development of new IT procurement systems and processes covering contract management, contract pipeline and tendering platform
Prepare reports and presentations for submission to Cabinet, Chief Officers and as required for committees in relation to activities undertaken within this job profile while managing work related pressures such as deadlines and workload interruptions
Be instrumental in building and maintaining networks to enable influencing and contributing to strategic and operational partnerships which support the delivery of key priorities and outcomes of the Council
Represent the Council at national/regional events, meetings and collaborative projects, deputising for the Head of Procurement as required

Undertake any other related duties and responsibilities as they arise and commensurate with the level of this role.

This role suits someone who is passionate about delivering excellent service within the Council, to our communities and our business partners. A commitment to maintaining high professional standards and confident working both independently and collaboratively within a team is essential.
