JOB RESPONSIBILITIES
We are now looking for a procurement controller with a focus on strengthened control and contract follow-up to prevent welfare fraud. As a controller, you will work closely with procurement specialists on the unit and purchasers in the municipal group's operations. You will be responsible for developing methods for follow-up, as well as practically implementing contract follow-ups in dialogue with the responsible procurement specialist. You will assist procurement specialists in dialogue with suppliers, where action plans and close follow-up are required to ensure that contractual terms are met.
The Procurement Unit is responsible for group-wide procurements and contracts, as well as operation-specific procurements for the municipality's administrative departments and the municipal companies Vöfab and Vidingehem. Cooperation agreements exist with municipalities in Kronoberg County, and the department is therefore also responsible for procurements in collaboration with the county's municipalities. The procurement controller has an important role in the department's and group's work for increased quality and business efficiency, as well as preventing welfare fraud.
The job responsibilities include:
• working together with procurement specialists to ensure requirements are set in procurements of services or goods in risk sectors
• conducting controls in connection with bid qualification
• developing methods for monitoring contracts and invoices
• developing standard texts for procurement documents, with a focus on qualification requirements to ensure serious suppliers and enable monitoring during the contract period
• conducting contract follow-ups in dialogue with the responsible procurement specialist and purchaser in the operation
• continuously conducting invoice inspections
• conducting training initiatives to increase awareness of follow-up in the operations
• conducting investigations, analyzing purchases and preparing reports that are presented to responsible managers and political leadership
• developing the function in dialogue with the municipal group and other colleagues in the procurement unit
Are you the one we're looking for? We welcome your application!
