Emma Keenan, Procurement Specialist
In 2015, some Members of London Universities Purchasing Consortium (LUPC) established Ensemble Purchasing, an innovative partnership solution offering a complete, shared procurement service to participating full Members. Ensemble Purchasing provides a high-quality, low-cost, professional service in the acquisition of goods and services; it is of particular interest to smaller or specialist institutions in London who do not have access to their own professional procurement resource.
Ensemble promises to deliver:
• Professional procurement management of spend areas selected by the Member;
• Improved supplier relationship management, contract management and risk management;
• Demand management and cost reduction programmes;
• Regular spend and benefits reporting;
• An improved sustainability profile;
• The opportunity to up-skill managers in procurement, contract management and other commercial disciplines;
• Assured continuity of service and freedom from the burden of staffing and managing a stand-alone procurement function at a fraction of the cost; and
• A tax-efficient partnership solution
In order to provide all of the above, Ensemble are recruiting a new team member in a Senior Procurement Manager. This exciting role within a friendly team will require you to demonstrate your extensive experience in professional procurement and contract management, it will reward you with a competitive salary and other benefits.
