JAGGAER, a global leader in enterprise procurement technology and supplier collaboration, is delighted to announce the appointment of Mark Roberts as its UK Public Sector Director. The appointment confirms JAGGAER\u2019s long-term commitment to serving the UK public sector with award-winning insights and expertise to help it effectively leverage the potential of critical technological tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Roberts was previously Commercial Director for the Metropolitan Police Service in London, the largest Police Force in Europe, with income contracts of \u00a3300m and an expenditure budget of \u00a3850m. Prior to this, he was the Commercial Continuous Improvement Director for the Government Commercial Function. Through these roles, Mark has formed an extensive and up-to-date understanding of processes, challenges and objectives for public sector procurement in both central departments and the wider Public Sector. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mark also has significant private sector procurement leadership experience, including roles at, Vodafone and Anheuser-Busch InBev, where he led the Global eSourcing programme, achieving impressive results that included including executing over 30,000 eAuctions per year. Leadership, design and implementation of new operating models in private and public sector organisations have led Mark to become a highly collaborative leader, ideally placed to help lead in times of transformation for the public sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simon Thompson, VP Northern Europe at Jaggaer, is delighted to announce the new appointment: \u201cIn the UK, JAGGAER has a long history of serving the Public Sector and we\u2019re thrilled to now have Mark on board as his experience will help us continue to tailor our support and investment in the sector to help it achieve greater efficiencies and efficacy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe appointment is ideally timed as the public sector tries to successfully balance constrained budgets, delivery of key services public and the opportunities provided by the introduction of the new UK Procurement Bill in February 2025, opening up to more small businesses and social enterprises. couldn\u2019t come at a better time as the Government grapples with unprecedented levels of public debt, while at the same time trying to enact an ambitious programme to reform and restore key elements of public service. If these conditions are confirmed in the autumn budget, ensuring value for money will become ever more key to channelling taxpayers\u2019 funds on the delivery of front line services.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cJoining an organization so firmly committed to enabling public services is a natural fit given my previous experience in the public sector. I look forward to leveraging my expertise in delivering value through the successful implementations of strategic sourcing, category management, contract management, supplier relationship management, social value and systems to benefit UK public institutions,\u201d states Roberts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n
