As Procurement Co-ordinator, you will:

• Support the Procurement Category Manager (Estates, Facilities & Environment) on a wide range of tendering and supplier management activities.
• Coordinate procurement functions to ensure compliance, value for money, and efficiency.
• Help maintain supplier records and the contracts register, support low-value tendering and supplier creation, and provide administrative support across integration workstreams.
• Promote compliance with procurement legislation, and the organisation’s values including sustainability, inclusion, and social value.
• Collaborate closely with internal stakeholders and external suppliers to support an Estates Compliance Improvement Programme (ECIP) central to the integration process.

You should have:

• A degree or equivalent professional experience.
• Strong Excel and general IT skills; familiarity with procurement systems (e.g. SAP, e-tendering portals) is desirable.
• Excellent organisational skills and the ability to manage a varied workload independently.
• A commitment to excellent customer service and the ability to work with colleagues at all levels.
• An understanding of procurement processes, particularly within Estates, Facilities or the public sector, is desirable.

• Competitive salary with excellent benefits including 30 days annual leave, plus public holidays and additional closure days.
• Participation in a leading pension scheme.
• A hybrid working model with a vibrant and supportive working culture.
• A chance to play a key role in shaping the future of a major educational institution’s operational infrastructure.
