We currently have an exceptional opportunity for someone who has a strong background in Bid Management and wants to take ownership of major tenders across the social housing sector.

You’ll take ownership of the bid process, working with teams across the business to develop strong, well thought-out submissions that give the business the best possible chance of winning.

You'll be involved from the early stages of an opportunity through to final submission, including:

Developing the overall bid strategy and win themes

Leading bid kick-off meetings and coordinating the wider bid team

Working closely with operational, commercial and technical teams to develop solutions

Writing and reviewing key sections of tender submissions

Challenging and improving responses to make sure they are commercially focused and genuinely answer the client's requirements

Managing deadlines, reviews and governance throughout the bid

Working closely with senior stakeholders across the business

Supporting wider strategic work-winning activity

What are we looking for?

You'll ideally have a strong background in social housing or public sector, with proven experience of managing complex tenders.

I'm particularly interested in people who have worked on one or more of the following:

Social housing contracts

Local authority or housing association frameworks

Responsive or planned maintenance

Refurbishment programmes

Retrofit / decarbonisation

Public sector procurement

Large and complex tenders

You should be comfortable working on larger-value opportunities and dealing with senior stakeholders across operations, commercial and technical functions.

If you're an experienced Bid Manager or Senior Bid Writer with a background in social housing, property services, construction or the public sector and you're looking for your next move, I'd be keen to speak with you.
