About the position
Perido is currently seeking a procurement officer on behalf of our client, an authority tasked with providing services within the public sector, primarily concerning finance, law, asset management, risk management, and administration. This is a part-time assignment (60%) that will be carried out at the authority's office in Gamla Stan, Stockholm, with the possibility of performing some work remotely.
Your responsibilities
The role of the procurement officer includes conducting needs and market analyses, maintaining supplier contacts, and engaging in dialogue with new suppliers. Additionally, it involves managing quotes, bids, contracts, and supplier selection, as well as conducting independent direct procurements, purchases, and call-offs from government framework agreements.
Your key responsibilities:
• Independently, and in consultation with the ordering party, handle call-offs from own framework agreements, conduct renewed competitive bidding, manage direct procurements in competition, and carry out advertised procurements. The work is conducted in the procurement system Mercell TendSign.
• Manage procured contracts in TendSign, register cases in the case management system Platina, and document work according to the procurement function's routines and planning documents.
• Support the authority's procurement officers by managing the shared functional mailbox, responding to inquiries, and providing advice to ordering parties.
• Participate in the systematic follow-up of entered contracts both at the departmental level and for individual business-critical contracts.
Your qualities
To thrive and succeed in the role of procurement officer, strong communication skills and a clear understanding of routines and work processes are required. The role necessitates an analytical approach and the ability to make independent decisions. The ideal candidate should be service-oriented, proactive, and solution-focused, as well as work meticulously and in a structured manner.
