Camden Council

Camden is a top performing Council and the only London Borough to score the maximum of 4 for our overall use of resources. We employ over 8,000 people and serve over 200,000 residents in one of London’s most prestigious boroughs. We spend over £400m per annum with suppliers and other external bodies.

Following a review of procurement we have agreed to implement a new procurement model led by a new Chief Procurement Officer, who is also being recruited. Camden’s objective is to remain at the forefront of local government procurement and prepare for the challenges ahead.

Based in King's Cross, the new procurement function will achieve greater efficiencies and value for money on a sustainable basis, supporting the Council’s aim of a significant reduction in gross budget over the period 2011 – 2014 and options for further reductions beyond 2014.

Camden now has a number of exciting and high profile opportunities. We fully recognise that recruiting the right individuals is critical in delivering our objectives. We are looking for exceptional candidates that:

• Have an excellent track record of delivering efficiency improvements in the public sector
• Are able to demonstrate their ability to lead high performing teams
• Are capable of influencing multi-million pound decisions of major significance
• Are skilled in effectively managing relationships with senior stakeholders internally and externally
• Are able to create innovative ideas to solve complex problems in challenging environments
• Have the potential to establish Camden as the country’s leading authority on procurement.
