Job Description

Are you an experienced Bid Professional looking to advance your career with a market leader in the Grounds Maintenance industry? I am on the lookout for a talented and motivated Bid Manager to bring strategic value to the Business Development team, driving growth and profitability through exceptional bid management.


The role is looking to pay up to £50,000 dependant on experience, hybrid with travel to their Head Office in Lancashire.


About the Role


As a Bid Manager, you'll be at the forefront of their high-value contract bids, working across public and private sectors on large-scale green space projects. This role offers an exciting opportunity to manage and produce winning bids that set us apart from competitors, showcasing our expertise in grounds maintenance.


You’ll report directly to the Head of Business Development and take on a senior role within the team. Your experience will give you the confidence to lead, coach, and inspire the Bid Writers, and to deputise for the Head of Business Development when needed.


You’ll thrive in this role if you have:

  • Experience in bid writing and project management: ideally with a few years in a bidding function, capable of managing complex bid processes from start to finish.
  • A creative, winning mindset: they value articulate, persuasive writing that communicates value and competitive advantage.
  • An eye for presentation and design: bids should look as good as they read.
  • Organisational and time-management excellence: juggling multiple deadlines is part of the role, so a proactive approach and attention to detail are essential.


In this role, you will:

  • Manage high-stakes bids from planning through to submission.
  • Lead, coach, and inspire the team of Bid Writers.
  • Write and coordinate the creation of high-quality bid documents.
  • Ensure tender compliance and completeness.
  • Drive continuous improvement in the Bid Library and Case Studies.
  • Build strong networks within the business to enhance collaboration.
  • Take on value-adding projects, like industry award submissions, to bolster market presence.


Ideal Experience and Skills

  • Proven professional writing skills, ideally in a bid or tender environment.
  • Demonstrated project management skills, handling multiple workstreams and deadlines.
  • A deep understanding of commercial contracts and financial bid elements is a bonus.


They are looking for someone who is:

  • Clear, concise, and articulate in all written materials.
  • Exceptionally detail-oriented.
  • An effective communicator and a confident leader.
  • Excellent at planning, organising, and managing time.
