As a Level 4 Project Management Apprentice at GBS Procure, you will dive into a highly practical role designed to give you a comprehensive understanding of the entire procurement and contract management lifecycle.
Operating out of the Kenilworth office four days a week, your initial months will involve working closely under the supervision of a team of experienced procurement professionals, transitioning over time into managing your own portfolio of lower to mid-value tender projects ranging from £5,000 to £250,000.
You will learn how to navigate the complex world of modern procurement and sourcing, which heavily involves compiling detailed evaluation spreadsheets, conducting vital supply market research, operating client e-procurement portals, and carefully drafting official procurement documentation that complies with strict government regulations and client policies.
Beyond the initial sourcing phase, you will actively support clients by diligently administering procurement projects at every key stage, which includes coordinating and moderating client tenders, writing comprehensive tender assessment summaries, and drafting formal recommendation results to ensure services are delivered efficiently and transparently to our clients.
Your role is also heavily rooted in data, meaning you will be responsible for tracking key performance indicators, generating management information, and keeping internal systems like the GBS time recording platform accurate and up to date.
A typical day in this role is diverse and fast-paced, split between collaborative project administration and analytical evaluative tasks. Your morning might begin at Berkeley House by logging into Microsoft Teams and email to answer a variety of incoming queries from both customers and suppliers.
Later in the morning, you might populate complex evaluation spreadsheets to cross-reference supplier bids, or dial into a client meeting to help moderate client tenders and take detailed minutes. After lunch, you might shift your focus to a newly won contract—such as analysing the supply market for a local housing association to investigate a more sustainable approach to grounds maintenance, before pivoting to draft formal tender assessment summaries and recommendation results for your reporting manager.
Every fifth day of the week, your routine shifts completely away from the office to dedicated self-study and online learning, allowing you to attend workshops and prepare for exams to achieve your globally recognised Chartered Institute of Procurement and Supply qualification.
