  • Support for strategic monitoring of the procurement calendar, contributing to the planning and coordination of files to ensure compliance with key deadlines and milestones, as well as the definition and monitoring of associated indicators
  • Coordination with the different units involved in the procurement process to ensure a proper definition of needs and an orderly execution of the files
