Commercial & Contracts Investigating Lead. 37 Hours a week Hybrid/Remote there could be occasions when you will required to attend meetings at Dorset Council offices in Dorchester. 3 months 500 a day Outside IR35 Do you have local authority or public sector experience? Commercial knowledge? Auditing? Demonstrate navigating contracts?. Worked with the SLT to report?. Support and undertake aspects of the following. The Commission and Procurement Programme. also identified that to scale up a programme of this nature would require specialist expertise which would not ordinarily be found within an organisation such as a council as there would be little need for these skill in the longer-term service delivery. In addition, the successful candidate has over the years removed those roles which would be able to support such as cost analysts and commercial quality assurance leads. Whilst it is evident that some teams and services could undertake/support the 3rd Party Spend activity it was highly likely that resources would not be able to be made available. Furthermore, as these investigations are likely to involve senior members of staff including directors and may require direct challenge and scrutiny of them, it would be unfair to place a permanent employee, who is likely to be a lower grade than those being interrogated, in such a position. The CPP Programme Manager was tasked with defining a programme of works and to develop a resource and cost profile in support of these works. It was also noted that this project is time constrained .
