In these times of global economic uncertainty, public procurement has a crucial role to play in bolstering domestic competitiveness, making the economy stronger and more resilient, and providing a solid foundation of security for British businesses. As a cornerstone of the Government’s Industrial Strategy, public procurement must be designed to drive growth, and leverage the UK’s unique strengths and untapped potential. At the heart of public service reform is the transformation of public procurement. With the UK’s annual £400 billion spend on goods, works, and services, procurement is not merely a function; it is a powerful lever for national renewal so people around the UK feel this government spend through investment in their skills and opportunities to access high quality jobs close to home. Strengthening the UK’s economic resilience and supporting British businesses, by strategically leveraging our annual public procurement spend, is the way to protect our supply chains, open up new opportunities for local small businesses and social enterprises, create good local jobs, and deliver greater value for taxpayers. We can do this by designing, developing and implementing innovative procurement policies to ensure that every buying decision contributes towards the government’s plan for national renewal. Senior Policy Advisors play a crucial role in designing, developing, implementing and evaluating procurement policy measures. This is a fast-paced environment and you will be responsible for leading a mixed portfolio of high profile policy priorities, taking the lead of all aspects using a proactive and collaborative approach.
