Are you looking to step into a role where your tendering expertise and stakeholder engagement skills really count?
We're supporting a key client of ours in Birmingham with the recruitment of a Senior Buyer to join their procurement team. While the role primarily focuses on medical, clinical, and surgical categories, they’re open to candidates from a generalist background, as long as you bring strong end-to-end tendering experience and a working knowledge of public sector procurement regulations.
What’s on offer?

* An opportunity to work on high-impact procurement projects that directly support vital services
What will you be doing?
* Managing the full tendering lifecycle - from sourcing strategy to contract award
* Supporting procurement activity across medical and surgical categories (prior experience is ideal, but not essential)
* Working closely with stakeholders to understand requirements, build sourcing strategies, and deliver value
* Ensuring public sector procurement compliance
* Delivering cost savings, improving supplier performance, and supporting operational needs
What are we looking for?
* Proven experience in running end-to-end public sector tenders (must have)
* Confidence working with a range of stakeholders and suppliers
* Examples of successfully managing regulated procurement activity, ideally within NHS or public sector environments
* Strong commercial acumen and attention to detail
* CIPS or part-qualified (desirable)
This role would suit someone who’s currently in a Buyer, Senior Buyer or Procurement Officer role and looking for more ownership, or a procurement professional ready to apply their public sector experience in a more focused, impactful way.
