Level 6 Procurement Apprenticeship
Senior Procurement & Supply Chain Professional
The broad purpose of the occupation is to provide specialist procurement and supply knowledge to drive and set the procurement and supply chain strategy. Typically, this involves the strategic and tactical procurement of goods and services, ensuring compliance with national/international legislation and corporate governance. This occupation requires ethical leadership, driving an ethical approach through policy and sustainable supply chains. Increasingly this occupation requires a thorough understanding of the sustainability impacts of procurement and supply decisions on both upstream supply chain and the use of materials, products, or applications over their lifetime. For example, procurement and supply decisions concerning energy sources need to include the direct and indirect impacts of an occupation’s energy demand and the implementation of measures for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Procurement and supply decisions about raw material and waste generation will consider the implementation of measures toward sustainable resource consumption, whole-life and circular economy thinking.
