We are focussed on delivering positive outcomes for our Member Authorities, regional supply base and over 700 Associate Members from the wider public sector.

In addition to delivering a collaborative procurement work programme of £700M, NEPO is responsible for the NEPO Portal and the NEPO Business Club programme of support for our suppliers.

We are a forward-thinking organisation that supports personal development and provides a unique opportunity to work collaboratively across the North East public sector.

Open is NEPOs new and wholly owned integrated e-procurement solution, designed and developed by NEPO and powered by AWS.

Designed to optimise the way we do business in the public sector, Open is a one-stop-shop eProcurement solution with aspirations to replace all procurement systems and tools used by NEPO and the twelve North East Local Authorities.

The product owner will be joining the team at the beginning of the journey, and with that the opportunity to put their stamp on the future product ambitions.
