Summary
Job Description
Job Title: Commercial Manager (Contract Management)
Job Grade: SEO
Reporting to: Senior Commercial Manager
Job Location: National
Contract Type: Permanent
Business Area: MOJ – Commercial & Contract Management Department
Type of role: Contract Management, Procurement
Working pattern: Flexible working, Full-time
Number of Posts: 1
About the Department:
The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) is a major government department, at the heart of the justice system. Responsible for courts, prisons and probation services, we work to ensure sentences are served and offenders are given rehabilitation opportunities to become law-abiding citizens.
The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) has one of the largest and most complex spend profiles in central government. The Commercial and Contract Management Directorate (CCMD) is responsible for coordinating procurement and contract management across the MoJ, its agencies and non-departmental public bodies.
The MoJ spends £7.5bn a year and manages over 1600 active contracts, all of which are sourced and managed by CCMD. We are running some of the most ground-breaking programmes such as Prison Reform and His Majesty’s Courts and Tribunal Service Reform. The scope of our contracts ranges from building, maintenance and the operation of Prisons, Courts, and Young Offender establishments through to food for prison dogs. The directorate also buys and manages contracts for feeding up to 80,000 prisoners, the secure escorting of prisoners from numerous establishments based around the country and translation services.
CCMD is organised into category teams, each with an interesting portfolio of contracts and diverse customers and suppliers to manage. We also have systems, programme management office, supplier relationship and risk management teams who work across all areas.
Scope of the Role/s:
The role sits within a sub team (Professional Services) within the wider portfolio supporting two of the MoJ’s indirect spend categories, the Consultancy and Professional Services category and the Contingent Labour category. The team delivers commercial support across the whole range of MOJ directorates, giving a unique and fascinating insight into the operations of one of the largest government Departments.
Contract management is a key part of the commercial lifecycle, both delivering value achieved through procurement activity but also driving continuous improvement and value add activity. The Contingent Labour category has a longer-term focus on contract management as well as supplier and stakeholder relationship management with the majority of the spend routed via a pan Government Framework Agreement. This is an exciting time to join the team as the mobilisation of the government framework which will replace the existing contract, is currently underway, offering the opportunity to become involved in managing the transition to the new contract. Within the Professional Services team, commercial contract management support and guidance is also provided for internal customers.
This role will report into the Senior Commercial Manager (Contingent Labour) and provide commercial contract management within the contingent labour category as well as developing best practice contract management approaches and continuous improvements across the Professional Services team. Working alongside operational contract managers the role will provide a commercial lens through thorough commercial understanding of designated contracts and how to leverage for optimal delivery. The role will provide spend and data analysis across the contingent labour category to bring essential insight and identify continuous improvement opportunities across the team. There may also be opportunities to work alongside colleagues on the Consultancy and Professional Services side of the team providing specialist contract management advice, support and best practice sharing.
The team includes both procurement and contract management professionals working together to deliver effectively. There is potential scope for the role to carry out procurement activity within the category should this be required and depending on the successful candidate. However, this role is predominantly contract management focused.
The roles sit within a busy, friendly and supportive team, offering an interesting and varied workload with opportunity to inform and continually improve the ways of working.
