We're looking for a Commercial Manager for our public sector client on an initial 12-month contract (Inside IR35), paying up to £725 per day (UMB), with the potential to extend up to 2 years subject to performance.
The role is UK-wide (our client has multiple offices across the UK), with Leeds preferred as a base location. You will work on a hybrid basis, with 2 days per week on-site.

You will need proven experience working with the following:
- Delivering procurements under the Procurement Act 2023, including the Central Digital Platform and new notice types
- Applying a range of procurement procedures to suit the complexity of each requirement
- Evidence-based decision making and strong business acumen in a commercial setting
- Stakeholder management and influencing at all levels, written and verbal
- Public sector procurement legislation and relevant commercial frameworks
