Your new role
The Procurement Officer will support the wider team with day-to-day tendering activities, across a broad range of category areas.

You will manage contract performance with suppliers and will ensure compliance with the organisation's governance processes.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Please note this is NOT a senior level strategic role; you will play a key role in delivering hands-on tendering activity, so you must have strong experience of this.
What you'll need to succeed
- A proven background in public-sector procurement with a detailed working knowledge of the Procurement Act 2023 (PA23)
- Excellent stakeholder management skills
- Contract management and supplier relationship management skills
- Ability to independently run end-to-end tender processes which comply with PA23, with recent experience in doing so
- Able to commute to the Liverpool office 2 days per week (some weeks will only require 1 day in the office)
What you'll get in return
- A day rate between £300-330 inside IR35 (umbrella rate)
- A 6-month interim contract with a reputable public-sector organisation
- Flexible and hybrid working policy, with only 1-2 days per week required in the office, giving you a great work-life balance
