The sourcing, contract and supplier people who keep Cardiff operations supplied at the right price.
Procurement is judged on savings, supplier performance and risk. We recruit buyers who can show all three.
Operations across South Wales rely on the M4, A48 and A470, Cardiff Airport and the ABP ports at Cardiff and Newport. Buyers who understand those routes negotiate freight and warehousing contracts from a stronger position.
A buyer who leaves mid-tender takes the negotiation history and the supplier relationships with them.
Experienced buyers supporting sites such as the Cardiff and Newport ABP ports, Cardiff Bay and the M4 corridor parks are usually approached directly rather than through adverts.
Buying, category, sourcing and contract roles.
We ask candidates how their savings were measured and signed off before we put them forward.
Winning a contract is half the job. We look for buyers who manage suppliers well after the signature.
We stay in contact while the new buyer meets the suppliers and takes over the contracts.
Indicative permanent salaries in Cardiff run from around £30k for buyers up to £80k+ for heads of procurement.
An offer pitched at the market is accepted faster. Ask us for a current read on procurement pay before the role is advertised. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Most good buyers are approached, not found on job boards.
Spend, savings, negotiations, systems and right to work checked before the first interview.
We arrange interviews and any negotiation exercise or presentation, then brief each candidate.
A permanent buyer learns your suppliers, your contracts and your history of price rises. That knowledge compounds at every renewal.
We describe the spend data and systems as they really are, so nobody is surprised in month one.
