Based at Buckingham Palace in London, this role offers a unique opportunity to work in a fascinating environment with rich history and modern challenges.
As part of the Privy Purse and Treasurer’s Office, the Procurement Team supports the Royal Household by ensuring best value, compliance, and sustainability in all procurement activities. The successful candidate will play a key role in shaping the Household’s procurement strategies while supporting critical functions such as Digital Services, Property, and the Royal Collection Trust. This is a varied role where you will deliver procurement projects from start to finish, manage tenders, provide expert advice on contract management, and ensure compliance with procurement policies.
Your ability to collaborate with stakeholders across departments, evaluate tender proposals and identify sustainable and ethical procurement practices will be essential. You will also help maintain governance, align procurement strategies with business priorities, and deliver solutions that minimise risk and maximise value.
To succeed in this role, you should have good procurement experience, ideally within the public sector, along with knowledge of contracts such as JCT and NEC3. Working towards or holding full membership of the Chartered Institute of Procurement & Supply (MCIPS) is highly desirable. Proficiency in managing e-tendering systems, producing reports, and ensuring compliance with legal standards is critical.
This role offers the chance to contribute to a diverse and iconic institution that combines tradition with innovation. If you have the expertise, ambition, and commitment to drive procurement excellence, we invite you to apply and be part of a team that supports the Sovereign in delivering a lasting legacy.
