Description:
Work-life balance and flexibility are key for our success. We empower our people to make choices that are right for them, with hybrid, part-time and flexible work patterns. And with a network of offices across the UK, we’re open to discussing working options that suit you.
In this role you will
- Work on bids under the guidance of a Bid Director, Principal Bid Manager or Bid Manager, supporting all activities required through to completion.
- Sett up and manage the bid platform/site/folders to be consistent, well laid out and easy to navigate (e.g. in SharePoint).
- Be fully familiar with the client bid portal to include timely downloading of client documents, tender amendments and clarifications, and uploading of our submissions and clarification questions/responses.
- Collaborate and supply guidance to our bid partners, supply partners and sub-contractors, who are contributing to the bid opportunities.
- Manage the meeting calendar, setting up meetings as required by the bid programme.
- Analyse client requirements including compliance and scoring.
- Help to identify win themes and story boarding to shape the content of responses.
- Set up and manage the schedule of deliverables and, through the Leaderboard process, track progress and identify problems; escalate to Bid Manager (or Principal Bid Manager/Bid Director as appropriate) for resolution as necessary.
- Collate statutory, mandatory information and certification for PQQ’s where this is required by our clients.
- Implement and maintain document management and version control of bid documents.
- Set up and manage the tender query process during the bid and the client clarification process, post bid.
- Design and prepare templates, organisation charts, CVs and graphics for smaller bids to include formatting and production of final submission.
We want to hear from you if you have:
- Experience of successful bidding, ideally in a related rail/highways sector (1-2 years’ experience minimum). However, this role is also suited to a junior project manager who wants to transfer their skills into the bidding environment.
- Experience of the bid process.
- Experience of public sector bid requirements.
- Development of knowledge libraries as a source of information for future bid activity.
- Creative, with an enquiring mind.
