    About Our Client
    As the challenge of protecting London evolves so must the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS). Thanks to large-scale transformation, we are developing so we can make life safer for over 9 million Londoners.

    As a Commercial Lead, your procurement expertise will contribute towards improving our policing activities, our capability to reduce crime, ensuring we deliver on our pledge to Londoners:
    More Trust, Less Crime & High Standards.


    The Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) Commercial Function is responsible for delivering end-to-end commercial lifecycle management and supporting the wider business in working with third parties.


    The MPS spends c£2bn each year on a diverse range of goods and services and we aim to procure them in the most cost effective and compliant way, while satisfying often-urgent operational needs.

    Commercial Services includes five category pillars - i) Covert and Counter Terrorism Policing, ii) Digital, Data and Technology, iii) Corporate and Professional Services, iv) Property and Operations - and v) an Enablement and Performance team.

    This is an exciting time to be working in Commercial Services, which supports the organisation in delivering the Commissioner's vision for a New Met for London and our counter terrorism policing priorities.

    There is a unique and ever-evolving challenge of policing London, which means that there are more opportunities for you to get involved with making London the safest global city in a time of unprecedented change within the UK's largest police service.


    We are looking for commercial professionals, with experience of managing complex, high value programmes and projects, developing category strategies, leading negotiations with suppliers and working with senior stakeholders across multiple business groups to solve commercial problems in a dynamic environment.

    With this background, you will bring experience in delivering commercial solutions throughout the commercial lifecycle, balancing the delivery of high value and complex projects in a fast-paced environment whilst managing stakeholder relationships at a senior level.

    You will have a proven track record of value-based leadership with an emphasis on modelling behaviour, coaching and mentoring.


    We currently have the following vacancies but would consider candidates with a broad range of category experience as we anticipate opportunities in the future cross category and/or are open to individuals who are looking to broaden their experience into other areas.


    In return, you will have the opportunity to make the role your own: increasing innovation, delivering social value to communities in London, lead category strategies, influencing commercial strategy, procurement and execution of Contracts.

    Your experience in developing commercial models that create best value in procurements will directly benefit front line policing in London, the UK and globally.


    As part of a larger team, you will collaborate across multi-disciplinary teams and enable front line policing and best value.

    No two days are the same and you will gain invaluable commercial experience, helping to deliver commercial solutions in a dynamic, fast-paced environment.

    The MPS can offer you a competitive salary, flexible working and benefits, with excellent career and professional development.
