Procurement - Category Manager

We are looking for a Procurement Technology Category Manager to join our newly reorganised Procurement team. This is an exciting opportunity to help deliver high-quality, cost-effective healthcare services across Hampshire and the Isle of Wight.

NHS procurement is more than just purchasing goods and services. It's about delivering innovative, sustainable, and commercially effective solutions that directly support frontline care. You will manage your own technology procurement portfolio, leading sourcing activity, tendering exercises, and supplier relationships across the full procurement cycle. You'll work closely with clinicians, operational teams, and senior leaders to ensure contracts deliver real value, quality, and efficiency.

Our work supports almost every area of healthcare, creating opportunities to broaden your experience and develop specialist knowledge within a large and evolving organisation. We are also committed to supporting professional development through the NHS CIPS Academy, mentorship, and a collaborative team culture.

We're excited to be able to offer the successful candidate a welcome bonus of £4000 (does not apply to current Hampshire & Isle of Wight NHS staff), paid over the first 12 months as a non-pensionable recruitment incentive. If you are motivated by delivering meaningful change and want to use your commercial expertise to make a real impact in healthcare, we'd love to hear from you.
