Buyers who cut cost without cutting service, for businesses across southern Scotland and their supply chains.
A permanent buyer should leave the supplier base stronger than they found it.
Procurement vacancies across southern Scotland come from cross-border hauliers, food and drink manufacturers, textiles and timber supply chains. Each needs buyers who can balance price, service and risk.
A buyer who leaves mid-tender takes the negotiation history and the supplier relationships with them.
Experienced buyers supporting sites such as the Cairnryan ferry terminals and the A75 Irish Sea freight route are usually approached directly rather than through adverts.
Procurement roles for retail, manufacturing, 3PL and public sector supply chains.
Freight, warehousing, fleet, fuel, packaging or materials handling: we match buyers to the categories you buy.
Winning a contract is half the job. We look for buyers who manage suppliers well after the signature.
Where the role asks for a professional procurement qualification such as CIPS, we confirm it before the shortlist.
Indicative permanent salaries in Peebles 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.
Spend, savings, negotiations, systems and right to work checked before the first interview.
A small number of candidates, each with notes on categories, spend and results.
We ask referees about savings delivered and supplier relationships, not just dates of employment.
Interim buyers are useful for a single project. Ongoing categories need someone who will still be there at the next renewal.
Procurement notice periods can be long, so the timeline is planned from the first conversation.
