Senior Procurement Specialist - B3

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.

The Agriculture and Rural Economy (ARE) Directorate works to support Scotland's sustainable economic growth, especially in the rural economy, making the most of Scotland's environment, natural assets and advantages - its people, landscapes, biodiversity, agriculture, food & drink and animal welfare.

As a Senior Procurement Specialist within ARE's Agriculture Digital and Data Division (AD&D), you will play a crucial role in ensuring compliance with the public procurement regulations, identifying opportunities for savings and benefits and to contribute to the wider government agenda including improving business for SMEs, equality awareness and delivering the sustainability agenda.
