PROCUREMENT

MI5 and MI6 procurement teams work together playing a key role in ensuring the infrastructure, assets and operations of the organisations have the right equipment, services and support – everything they need, when they need it, where they need it: whilst getting value from the supply chain.  The teams work closely with their customers, constantly thinking on their feet to formulate creative ideas in response to sensitive operational requirements.  It’s fascinating work.  Whilst always following commercial best practice, procurement professionals will buy everything from office equipment to emerging technologies and will find themselves building effective supplier relationships that aim to safeguard supply chain risk, and drive good performance and value in complex environments.

JOINT WORKING

MI5 and MI6 help protect the UK and UK interests from threats to national security at home and abroad.  We work against everything from terrorism to espionage, to cyber threats and sabotage.  In these procurement roles you will work across both organisations and become part of the wider intelligence community.
