Ready for a role where your work is visible, valued and makes a real difference? Join our award-winning Procurement Team and help shape a safe, modern and efficient NHS estate. We are recruiting two Senior Procurement Managers to take the lead on high-value sourcing and contract management across key non-clinical categories (including Estates and Facilities, workforce, IT and outsourced services). You will partner closely with clinical and corporate stakeholders to run end-to-end procurements, secure strong commercial agreements, drive supplier performance and deliver year-on-year savings, while keeping governance tight and championing sustainability and social value.

You can be based at Royal United Hospitals Bath NHS Foundation Trust, Salisbury NHS Foundation Trust or Great Western Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (Swindon), with flexibility to work across sites as required.
As a Senior Procurement Manager in our Sourcing Team, you will take ownership of a non-pay category portfolio, leading sourcing and contract management activity for an addressable spend of circa £160m across the BSW ICS. You will shape category plans, run compliant procurements in line with public procurement regulations and local governance, negotiate commercial agreements and assure delivery of cash-releasing savings and value for money (with benefits agreed with Finance).
Working across Bath, Swindon and Wiltshire, you will be the trusted procurement expert for stakeholders, translating policy into practical advice, improving supplier and contract performance through clear KPIs, and helping ensure critical services are contracted, managed and renewed on time to support safe, effective patient environments.
To be considered, you will need public sector procurement experience and experience of working collaboratively across a large geographical area .
