Supplier Relationship Specialist - Departmental Specialist 13
About The Position
This position administers the operations of the contract monitoring, supplier protest, and pre-contract risk assessment programs that Supplier Relations runs for the State of Michigan and is the only position in state government dedicated to these processes. The contract monitoring program provides the framework for maintaining a positive working relationship with supplier over the life of a contract and ensures that the state receives the goods or services it pays for under the contract. The supplier protest program allows bidders who have not been awarded a contract to protest the decision and requires this position to review the work of the procurement professional who made the award and detriment if the award should be upheld or overturned. The pre-contract risk assessment program minimizes risks the state faces in contracting with suppliers by evaluating financial, legal, and past performance information on potential suppliers. In administering these programs this position recommends changes to program policies, develops and executes plans to ensure the programs are meeting their goals, works with other state agencies and procurement professionals, and serves as an expert on the program topics.
