Procurement Services Recruitment
The City of Westminster has a centralised Procurement & Commercial function, which sits within the Finance and Resources Directorate. A review of Procurement Services at Westminster in 2018 identified the need for change and wide-scale improvement across five areas: Target Operating Model, Strategy and Governance, Systems and Processes, Structure and Capabilities, and Engagement, Development and Culture. In April 2020, a new target operating model was launched, with the intention of transforming the Procurement function and driving improvement to the service.
A new team has been recruited to include the Director and management team who joined in November 2020, bringing extensive and diverse experience of best practice from a range of industries and sectors. Over the last two years, there has been significant improvement to the service; the new operating model is working well, and we have now established the service as a strategic enabling function for the Council, with the ambition of becoming national leaders in procurement and commercial practice, including responsible procurement. Diversity and inclusion continue to be a priority for the Council and the service.
The council is looking to add strength and depth to this team across all of these functions: Tendering, Responsible Procurement & Supplier Relationship Management, and Responsible Economy.
Westminster City Council is recruiting a number of roles across the division:
