Job description

Procurement is much more than buying the goods, services or works the public sector need. Colleagues in the profession balance cost, quality and time considerations. It’s also about ensuring we use our collective spending power to innovate and to deliver social, economic and environmental outcomes aligned to Scotland’s National Performance Framework.

Procurement Services Division (PSD) is the procurement delivery function for the Scottish Government. The Division provides procurement and commercial services to both internal stakeholders and external customers (public bodies) through the Central Government Procurement Shared Services (CGPSS).

We're looking for a confident and experienced procurement professional to lead a team in planning and delivering procurement projects with a focus on the Central Government Procurement Shared Service (CGPSS).

The Central Government Procurement Shared Service offers other Central Government organisations both operational and strategic support in all aspects of procurement and contract management. We help our partners to maximise value and performance from their contracting activities whilst managing risk and remaining compliant with changing legislation and policy.
