Join this team and you’ll help to advise and support the force on a wide variety of financial services. You could be involved in accounting activities linked to pay, pensions, expenses, creditor payments, banking of income and treasury management. Alternatively, in the strategic finance team, you might be advising on budgeting, grants, efficiency planning, police officer overtime and performance indicators.

We support the force and the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner (OPCC) in securing and managing a range of high value tenders and contracts, generally worth over £25,000. The aim is to gain the best value for money for the people of Leicestershire. As well as dealing directly with high-value tenders, we also offer advice and guidance to teams across the force on any aspect of procurement and contract management.

When anyone within the force needs to place an order from an external supplier, the Ordering team manages that process. From processing the purchase requisition and dealing direct with the supplier, to handling goods receipt notes when the team have received their order, we’re involved at every stage of the order. We also use our professional knowledge to advise and support teams in getting quotes for orders with a value of less than £25,000.
