Today, we support over 60 members, manage 17 frameworks and connect our network to more than 500 suppliers.<\/p>\n<p>SEC is now entering an exciting new phase, shaped by a changing housing and public sector landscape and a clearer sense of the role we want to play. Our ambition is to be the South East\u2019s most trusted procurement partner, through great procurement, stronger partnerships and insight that shapes the sector.<\/p>\n<p>A foreword from Jas Rai, CEO at SEC:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt South East Consortium, we work collaboratively \u2014 but it\u2019s our commitment to high-quality, reliable procurement that sets us apart. We understand that procurement is more than a process. Done well, it is a strategic lever, shaping performance, strengthening partnerships and enabling our members to deliver with confidence in an increasingly complex environment.<\/p>\n<p>As we deliver our new strategy, we are clear on our ambition: to be the South East\u2019s most trusted procurement partner &#8211; not by scale, but by the quality of what we deliver and the standards we set. This is an important moment for SEC, and a pivotal role within it. We are looking for a Director of Procurement Delivery who shares our commitment to excellence, brings both strategic insight and operational credibility and is motivated to shape the next phase of our growth and impact.\u201d<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-13","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ma-appointments.co.uk\/sec\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/13","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ma-appointments.co.uk\/sec\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ma-appointments.co.uk\/sec\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ma-appointments.co.uk\/sec\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ma-appointments.co.uk\/sec\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/ma-appointments.co.uk\/sec\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/13\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":204,"href":"https:\/\/ma-appointments.co.uk\/sec\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/13\/revisions\/204"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ma-appointments.co.uk\/sec\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
