THE ROLE - FRAMEWORK MANAGER

As part of the National Football Facilities Strategy, the Foundation has a responsibility to deliver high quality football facilities whilst ensuring best value is achieved through responsible procurement and management. To achieve this, the Foundation currently operates Frameworks for Artificial Grass Pitches (AGP) and for Playzones (our small sided multi-sport courts). We also operate preferred supplier registers for floodlights with a plan to further expand similar for sports and maintenance equipment.

The Framework Manager (FM) is responsible for the overarching management and scrutiny of the Playzone Framework to ensure that suppliers and consultant services comply with the Framework requirements and meet stringent Key Performance Indicators (KPI’s).

The FM is also responsible for driving initiatives that ensure an innovative approach to the procurement and management of supply chains for a variety of ‘Ancillary Items’ to determine if economies of scale could be established, whilst considering environmental impact, sustainability, and quality performance. The FM will form part of the Technical team that is responsible for managing the risks associated with facility investment.

In summary, the FM has responsibility for:

1. The functional duties of managing the Playzone Framework.

2. The delivery and management of other approved supplier registers/frameworks, such as Floodlights and Sports and Maintenance Equipment.

3. Supporting the Senior Framework Manager with their core duty of managing the AGP Framework.

You don’t need to follow football or have a detailed knowledge of how to improve grass pitches to apply, but it is expected that you appreciate the power of sport to change lives and have a genuine interest in using your skills and experience to help the Foundation achieve our charitable and strategic objectives
