Job Summary

Shape the future of NHS procurement. Deliver value. Improve patient care.

Are you an ambitious procurement professional looking to make a real difference in one of the UK's largest public sector organisations? We are seeking a highly motivated Category Manager to join our Procurement Team and play a key role in delivering commercial excellence, value for money, and sustainable procurement solutions that directly support frontline healthcare services. Based at the main Wakefield hospital site of Mid Yorkshire Teaching NHS Trust but employed through Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust this is a new role supporting the increased collaboration of the two Trusts in how we shape and deliver an excellent procurement service

This is an exciting opportunity to manage a diverse portfolio of contracts, lead procurement projects, and influence strategic sourcing decisions that contribute to improved patient outcomes and significant financial efficiencies across the Trust. The post supports delivery of cost improvement programmes, helping to deliver efficiencies of more than £2m per annum while ensuring continuity of supply, regulatory compliance, and outstanding stakeholder engagement. .

Why you should join our Team

Mid Yorkshire Procurement is well established team providing procurement support across the Trust. Supporting an acute trust caring for over one million people in Wakefield and Kirklees. Our 10,000 staff work in patients’ homes, the community, and our three hospitals in Pontefract, Dewsbury, and Pinderfields (Wakefield). The team and Trust prioritise people and values to deliver the best possible care to patients. The team is friendly, passionate, and innovative, always seeking better ways to work.

Supporting work-life balance and fostering a diverse, inclusive environment where everyone belongs, our staff networks offer safe spaces to share ideas and concerns so we can increase awareness and appreciation of equality, diversity, and inclusion. We welcome applicants from all backgrounds and especially encourage members of the LGBTQ+ community, ethnic minority groups, and people with disabilities or neurodivergence to apply, as they are currently underrepresented in the Trust.

What you will bring to the role

As a Category Manager, you will be responsible for managing a portfolio of clinical and non-clinical contracts, leading procurement exercises from market engagement through to contract award and supplier performance management. You will work closely with clinicians, operational teams, finance colleagues, and suppliers to develop innovative commercial solutions that support the Trust's strategic objectives. The key responsibilities of the role are:-

Managing a portfolio of goods, services, and contract categories, ensuring value for money and compliance with procurement regulations.
Developing tender documentation, specifications, evaluation models, and contract agreements using modern e-tendering systems.
Working collaboratively with stakeholders to identify requirements, standardise products and services, and deliver commercial benefits.
Negotiating with suppliers to secure best value, improve service quality, and strengthen strategic supplier relationships.
Identifying and managing commercial, contractual, and supply chain risks.
Supporting sustainability, environmental, and social value objectives through procurement activity.
Providing expert procurement advice to stakeholders across the organisation.
Contributing to continuous improvement initiatives and leading the development of efficient procurement practices.
