GPA

The Government Property Agency is the largest property holder in government. We are transforming the way the Civil Service works by creating great places to work, leading the largest commercial office programme in the UK, working towards halving carbon emissions from government offices, and achieving greater value for taxpayers.

Our four core values are at the heart of everything we do. They shape our culture and guide how we work, lead and grow together:

Striving for excellence- We always aim to deliver great results
Empowering through respect- We insist on fair treatment for all, always
Acting with integrity- We consistently do the right thing
Succeeding together- We rely on each other to achieve success

We are committed to representing the communities we serve by making Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) part of everything we do. Our strong emphasis on EDI is not just about driving inclusion across our organisation, it is also about ensuring our services meet the needs of government departments and the civil servants who use our spaces. To ensure that we are always recruiting and retaining a diverse mix of talent, we are particularly inviting applications from candidates who are disabled, ethnically or gender diverse, and people who identify as being part of the LGBTQ+ community.

Job description

As the Head of Commercial for the Manchester Digital Campus (MDC) you will be dedicated to this Programme to ensure the whole programme maximises commercial opportunities and value.

You will continue development of the procurement strategy, market engagement and contracting approach (from those within the Outline Business Case) for the c.£1bn, 5-year main construction and fit out under a JCT model, overseeing competitions and support the project director in successfully managing the contract through to its commercial and financial completion.

You will need to pay particular attention to continued financial stability, ensuring procurement programme resilience and continuity in a changing economic context. Lower value, but equally important are the effective management of pre-construction works, client side support and the development of income generation propositions supporting the wider programmes strategic aims.

You will provide commercial leadership across the whole programme, developing the whole teams commercial thinking and skill set. You will be focused heavily on the infrastructure delivery (a £1bn+ contract). whilst working closely with both project directors, together with the leads of the wider strands (or Lines of Development), finance team and SRO to support the whole programme, ensuring the commercial approach across the whole of MDC is generating best value from the market, maximising social value and alive to income generation opportunities. You will line-manage the small MDC Commercial team, shaping and growing the team, building its capacity and capability, within the wider GPA commercial function and delivering the required commercial outcomes.

You will need construction sector experience and commercial and financial acumen to deliver innovative routes to market, and will work closely with the GPAs construction partners and professional client side support team.

As part of the leadership team the successful candidate will help create the culture for everyone to thrive; its a matrixed, multi-disciplinary team. The MDC ways of working have been set out as:

SRO and programme deliver for the whole system, part of all the departments involved;

A thorough understanding of Public Procurement with particular experience in the property construction sector. Demonstrate a trusting, effective working partnership with Crown Commercial Service (CCS) to utilise their category and sourcing teams for timely and compliant procurement.

MDC needs a risk mindset: MDC is a major programme, with complex requirements and a JCT24 contract form using firm, fixed and target cost; more widely the client side professional services are critical to delivery, the matrix team structure adds complexity.

MDC necessitates managing complexity: MDC is a major programme with multiple policy, regulatory and departmental drivers. The commercial structure needs to balance these drives and the conflicting change they can introduce.

There will be initially management of two direct reports who will also be commercial specialists. MDC is a matrix management model and this individual will be providing commercial leadership more widely. As the programme progresses all the teams will be kept under review and could expand with further Civil Service or interim/service contractor staff.
