Logistics Expert at the Swedish Prison and Probation Service

The Swedish Prison and Probation Service is growing – we are building new facilities, renovating, and expanding, and we are now looking for more employees. Our primary goal is to reduce recidivism – to break the vicious cycle. If we succeed, society becomes safer for everyone. We are the authority responsible for prisons, probation, detention centers, and client transport.

The Procurement Unit is responsible for developing and managing the authority's purchases based on procurement legislation, other regulations, and the needs of the organization.

The unit's tasks include developing methods for category management, monitoring compliance with agreements for the authority's purchases, and developing a well-functioning ordering process, which also includes the ordering organization and e-commerce systems.

The unit also provides procurement-related legal support and advice, as well as handling procurement cases, appeals, and other business law matters.

The role involves extensive collaboration, from local operational sites to central requirement-setting functions and procurement officers to develop relevant requirements within each purchasing and procurement area. The responsibility for development regarding processes and requirements within the area includes facilitating internal dialogue within the Swedish Prison and Probation Service's operational areas as well as externally with suppliers and the market.
