Job summary:

We are seeking to fill this important Programme Support Officer role in our Public Review Unit.


The Government's Green Paper, Transforming Public Procurement, published December 2020, proposed establishing a new unit with operational responsibilities for strategic oversight of the new legal regime for public procurement.

The unit will oversee the integrity and effectiveness of the regime, reviewing compliance by contracting authorities and suppliers, it is expected that the existing Public Procurement Review Service (PPRS) will also become part of the new unit.

The Bill for this reform is currently going through the parliamentary process.


The Procurement Review Unit will drive up standards through monitoring and reviewing procurement activity, intervening where appropriate and working collaboratively to improve commercial capability across public procurement.

The scope and powers of the unit are still being developed and a key part of the post holder's role will be to work with key stakeholders to ensure an approach that, using commercial data and other sources of information, can review the effectiveness and integrity of public sector procurement.


The post holder will be expected to deploy their skills and experience flexibly across the wider team to deliver the Government's post-EU Exit reform programme and the public procurement policy agenda.


The Public Procurement Review Service is responsible for the informal investigation of concerns raised by suppliers, in particular small businesses, relating to public procurement practice whilst supporting continuous improvement across the public sector procurement.

This service has statutory powers to investigate performance by contracting authorities and their functions and publishes its findings.


We are looking for a highly organised, hard-working and committed self-starter with excellent IT skills, great attention to detail and high levels of customer service to join the team.

If you are a proactive team player and eager to take up the challenge of setting up and supporting our day to day business of the unit we would love to hear from you.
