Senior Manager Procurement

World Bank projects live or die by procurement: a badly drafted bid document or a weak evaluation can hold up a scheme for months. This manager owns the procurement plan and every step from bidding documents to the final evaluation report.

Responsibilities

• Develop, update and implement the project procurement plan under World Bank and Government of Punjab guidelines.
• Set scopes of work, technical specifications and performance objectives for each purchase.
• Vet the standard bidding documents and add special conditions where needed.
• Run the full process: shopping, advertisements, EOIs and RFPs.
• Supervise bid evaluation and the finalisation of evaluation reports.

Who can apply

• Master's in procurement and contracts management, business administration or project management, or a BSc in Engineering.
• 8 years of relevant experience in procurement and bid administration, including 4 years on similar projects.
• Maximum age 60.
