Procurement Team

The Procurement Team are here to work with commissioners and operational colleagues to ensure that compliant tenders are issued in line with our legislative requirements.

We are here to support providers in understanding the tender process to ensure that we have a active market in Essex to support our children and young people. We also take on the responsibility of managing our contracts and frameworks and working with providers to support them from a commercial function.

We also work on understanding our markets to ensure that we are flexible and able to respond to any changes that may come our way. We use our market knowledge to work with commissioning to help plan for the future of Children’s and Young People services.

Our team:

Anna Porter - Procurement Specialist

Anne-Lise Nicol - Procurement Manager Children's Residential Services

Clare Perrett - Procurement Assistant Manager SIA (Semi-Independent Accommodation) Services

Craig Forster - Procurement Officer
