About the Department:
The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) is a major government department, at the heart of the justice system. Responsible for courts, prisons and probation services, we work to ensure sentences are served and offenders are given rehabilitation opportunities to become law-abiding citizens.
The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) has one of the largest and most complex spend profiles in central government. The Commercial and Contract Management Directorate (CCMD) is responsible for coordinating procurement and contract management across the MoJ, its agencies and non-departmental public bodies.
The MoJ spends £7.5bn a year and manages over 1600 active contracts, all of which are sourced and managed by CCMD. We are running some of the most groundbreaking programmes such as Prison Reform and His Majestys Courts and Tribunal Service Reform. The scope of our contracts ranges from building, maintenance and the operation of Prisons, Courts and Young Offender establishments through to food for prison dogs. The directorate also buys and manages contracts for feeding up to 80,000 prisoners, the secure escorting of prisoners from numerous establishments based around the country and translation services.
CCMD is organised into category teams, each with an interesting portfolio of contracts and diverse customers and suppliers to manage. We also have systems, programme management office, supplier relationship and risk management teams who work across all areas.
SCOPE
Portfolio Commercial Property
The role advertised is within the Commercial Property team within CCMD, which is there to support the MoJ and its agencies in providing suitable, safe, secure and sustainable buildings incurring a spend over £250m per annum on outsourced Facilities Management (FM) contracts to a wide range of service providers. It is not uncommon for individual contract spend to be over £50m per annum and include a wide range of complex and innovative contractual mechanisms. We also generally spend between £150-200m each financial year on a range of projects from major refurbishments and security upgrades, to lift and boiler replacements and £180m on energy and sustainability.
Scope of the Role
The role(s) will focus on supporting one of the Ministry of Justices largest and most ambitious programmes of work to date, the Property Transformation Programme. This exciting and challenging programme seeks to transform and bring the MoJ estate up to date, ensuring it is suitable for the demands of the 21st century use. It will bring together Prisons, Probation and other Arms Lengths Bodies under the same contracts to transform the delivery of Facilities Management (FM) services through modernising the estate and reducing estate running costs. The scope of the Property Transformation Programme includes MoJ Headquarter sites, over 100 prisons in England and Wales and approximately 490 Probation sites.
FM is an organisational function which integrates people, places and processes within the built environment with the purpose of improving the quality of life and the productivity of the core business. The FM provision ensures that buildings are secure, safe, and fit for operational use and therefore comply with mandatory and statutory requirements.
The role(s) will be an integral part of the Commercial Team to re-procure the contracts for the FM provision across the estate. With such a varied and vast estate in scope for the Programme, this is a great development opportunity, as you will work across diverse teams, gain valuable insights into the management and delivery of complex procurements, as well as experience a large-scale programme.
