Full job description

About The Role

The main day-to-day focus of the role shall be to develop and/or manage a diverse range of Goods, Services and Works contracts in line with the Scottish Model of Procurement. The role will require active contribution towards the effective and efficient operation of the SPS Procurement team through a range of direct and indirect procurement activities. You will be given your own work portfolio to manage in addition to providing support to other members of the team.

Whilst carrying out your duties, you shall provide a procurement service to a range of internal stakeholder groups, including but not limited to: Estates & Technical Services; Operations Directorate; Digital Services; Human Resources; and Legal Services.

developing tender evaluation matrices and associated recommendation reports;
undertaking contract reviews and pricing reviews, and making recommendations on whether to extend an existing contract or not;
monitoring and measuring supplier performance; and
exploring and obtaining added value.

In addition to the above duties, you will undertake ‘on the job’ training and reflective learning, with a mix of formal and informal training and development. This will be a hybrid working role with a mix of remote and on-site working and it will, at times, require attendance at SPS headquarters or other sites as required.

Please note that SPS will be hosting a virtual drop-in session on 8th July 2026 between 10.30 and 12pm. The session will be available for 90 Minutes, during which time interested candidates can drop in and have a chat with some of our previous Graduate Procurement Officers and member of our Management Team.

Civil Service Values

All Civil Servants, and therefore anyone employed by the Scottish Prison Service, must be able to fully comply with the requirements of the Civil Service Code. Everyone is expected to carry out their role with dedication and uphold the core values of the Civil Service: Honesty, Integrity, Objectivity and Impartiality.

Integrity: putting the obligations of public service above your own personal interests.
Honesty: being truthful and open.
Objectivity: basing your advice and decisions on rigorous analysis of the evidence.
Impartiality: acting solely according to the merits of the case and serving equally well Governments of different political persuasions.

The Civil Service Commission

Our recruitment is conducted in line with the Civil Service Commission’s Recruitment Principles and external competitions are regulated by the Civil Service Commission. While the legal requirement to follow these Principles applies specifically to external appointments, the Scottish Prison Service (SPS) recognises these standards as best practice. Accordingly, SPS fully adopts these principles as the foundation for all recruitment activity, including internal recruitment and selection processes.

External competitions: if you believe that the requirement for selection for appointment on merit based on fair and open competition has not been met, you have the right to raise a complaint. Further information on the Commission’s complaints procedure is available at: https://www.civilservicecommission.independent.gov.uk/.

Internal competitions: if you believe that the requirement for selection for appointment on merit based on fair and open competition has not been met, you can raise a complaint to your HR Business Partner.
