Principal
Abrona provides disability care to adults in the province of Utrecht, with 60 branches and about 1,250 employees and 900 clients. The central office is located in Huis ter Heide.
Purchasing Department
Procurement is already currently outsourced to an external party. This external organization has created a purchasing plan and policy. Abrona has decided it would like to perform the procurement itself again.
The new purchasing department will consist of you as tactical buyer, a contract administrator (part-time position) and an operational buyer. You will coordinate the work in the department. The operational buyer and contract administrator have already been hired. The contract administrator processes all contracts and takes care of the signaling around them. The operational buyer does the ordering work, requests quotations for smaller expenditures and supports you (the tactical buyer).
The organization is not subject to EU procurement requirements.
Approximately 70% of the organization’s total budget is tied up in staffing. The procurement spend of approx. €45 mio. Of this, approx. 37 mio. is influenceable. Approx. 40% of the total procurement spend is already currently through procurement.
