Procurement Advisor

Your added value as a Procurement Advisor

Are you a procurement advisor who gets energy from diverse and challenging procurement issues? And do you want to work in a place where your expertise truly matters? Then this position at the House of Representatives is for you.

As a procurement advisor, you (independently) guide procurement and tendering processes: from facility services to ICT, data, and innovative applications. You advise internal clients, think along about the question behind the question, and translate this into a suitable procurement strategy. In doing so, you leverage your knowledge of the market and work together with colleagues to achieve the best result.

You also contribute to the further professionalization of our procurement function, follow developments within the field, and actively seek collaboration within the Central Government.

There is only one House of Representatives. That also makes your work as a procurement advisor unique. You work in the midst of political and social current affairs and, with your expertise, contribute to a safe and well-functioning House of Representatives.

Main tasks

You:

• carries out (multiple) private procurement processes;

• carries out (complex) mini-competitions under existing framework agreements, particularly ICT-related;

• carries out European tenders (under guidance);

• manages the entire procurement process from start to finish;

• advises regarding needs and procurement issues.

What we ask of you

• A completed education at least at HBO (higher professional education) level, supplemented with NEVI 1, RIO Basis, or a comparable education. You are willing to follow additional training in the field of procurement.

• At least 2 years of demonstrable experience with multiple private tenders, preferably in the field of ICT.

• Knowledge of the Public Procurement Act; knowledge of the Central Government Procurement System is a plus.

• Experience within a political-administrative environment, such as a (semi-)government organization, is a plus.

• Sincere curiosity and the ability to connect easily characterize you. You know how to involve the right people at the right time. Whether you are at the table with a department head, manager, or subject matter expert: you build good relationships and maintain a critical and independent view.

• With your analytical eye, persuasiveness, creativity, and entrepreneurial attitude, you know how to bring others along with your advice.

• Thinking in solutions and possibilities comes naturally to you. You dare to think outside the box, look within the applicable laws and regulations for what is possible, and translate this into clear advice and tender documents.

You will work in the temporary premises of the House of Representatives at Bezuidenhoutseweg 67, within walking distance of Den Haag Centraal station.

You will be working at Financial-Economic Affairs (FEZ). This department consists of approximately 30 colleagues, divided into the Procurement team, Operations team, Control team, and the Staff. The team is informal and shares a lot of knowledge. Everyone has their own area of focus and helps each other. Just like many departments within the House of Representatives, we work hybrid.
