We are supporting a leading public-sector organisation with the appointment of a Category Specialist to provide expert procurement support across a diverse range of services.

This is an excellent opportunity for a Procurement Specialist, Category Specialist or experienced Public Sector Procurement professional looking for a role offering variety, autonomy and the opportunity to influence procurement from early commissioning through to contract award.

The role

You’ll provide procurement expertise throughout the full procurement lifecycle, supporting commissioning teams with route-to-market advice, tendering, evaluation and contract award.

Working closely with internal stakeholders, you’ll ensure procurement activity is commercially effective, compliant and aligned with current public-sector best practice — while also helping teams explore innovative approaches to commissioning and procurement.

Key responsibilities:

• Provide expert procurement advice and support across a range of public-sector services.
• Advise stakeholders throughout the end-to-end procurement lifecycle, from commissioning and route-to-market through to tender and award.
• Develop compliant tender, quotation and procurement documentation.
• Ensure procurement exercises comply with relevant UK Procurement Law, regulations and Contract Standing Orders.
• Develop and support Excel-based evaluation models for procurement exercises.
• Advise on appropriate procurement routes, frameworks, marketplaces and e-procurement solutions.
• Support commissioning teams in adopting innovative and best-practice procurement approaches.
• Manage multiple procurement projects, priorities and deadlines in a fast-moving environment.
• Produce clear, accurate reports, presentations and procurement documentation.

What we’re looking for

You’ll bring:

• Practical knowledge and experience of UK Public Procurement Law.
• Experience working within public-sector procurement.
• Strong understanding of procurement best practice and the end-to-end procurement process.
• Knowledge of e-Procurement, digital procurement, marketplaces and emerging procurement technology.
• Excellent written and numerical skills, with strong attention to detail.
• Experience managing multiple priorities and competing deadlines.
• The confidence to work with stakeholders at different levels and provide clear, practical procurement advice.
• A proactive, organised and commercially minded approach.

Qualifications

Ideally, you’ll hold CIPS Diploma / Member level, be working towards this qualification, or have equivalent relevant public-sector procurement experience.

Why apply?

This is a broad Category Specialist / Procurement Specialist role offering genuine variety across commissioning, tendering and strategic procurement.

It’s particularly suited to someone who enjoys being a procurement subject-matter expert, working closely with stakeholders and applying their knowledge to deliver compliant, effective and innovative procurement solutions.

If you’re searching for Category Specialist, Procurement Specialist, Public Sector Procurement, Procurement Officer, Category Manager or Strategic Procurement opportunities in London, this is an excellent opportunity to consider.
