Job Purpose:

This role is focused on elevating YMS's success rate for tenders and bids, with a holistic approach that encompasses client needs, strategic bid improvement, compliance, and proactive communication. The ideal candidate will develop and manage YMS’s bid strategy, including a well-maintained bid library, consistent follow-ups, and in-depth post-bid analyses. The position will work closely with the YMS team to understand the unique value YMS brings to clients and ensure this is reflected in every bid.

Key Responsibilities:

1. Bid and Tender Strategy Development

* Lead the end-to-end bid management process, with an emphasis on improving win rates and meeting YMS's strategic goals.

* Create and implement a structured, repeatable process for reviewing all bids, scoring performance, and identifying improvement areas.

* Develop a bid library and maintain up-to-date, high-quality bid templates, responses, and FAQs for quick reference.

2. Proposal and Document Preparation

* Set up tailored templates for proposals, non-tender bids, and EOI submissions to improve speed and consistency.

* Work with the team to gather input on each project’s specific strengths, ensuring that all responses are tailored to client needs and highlight YMS's unique value.

* Conduct regular updates to bid templates to keep them relevant and aligned with industry standards.

3. Proactive Tender Management and Tracking

* Oversee a proactive tracking system for all tender opportunities, expressions of interest, and submissions.

* Maintain front-foot engagement with each tender by following up with procurement officers, seeking feedback, and ensuring every opportunity is maximized.

* Handle appeals and raise queries on awards where YMS isn’t successful, advocating for fairness and identifying areas for improvement.

4. Compliance and Procurement Support

* Ensure all bid submissions align with relevant procurement legislation to reduce risk and open opportunities for direct award.

* Draft framework contract templates with specific terms to protect YMS’s interests and clarify expectations with clients.

* Collaborate with legal advisors if needed to ensure all contracts and templates provide a strong position for YMS.

5. Contract Renewal and Relationship Management

* Take ownership of the renewal process for existing contracts, conducting periodic reviews and renegotiating terms as needed.

* Liaise with clients to understand evolving needs and expectations, aiming to secure favourable renewal terms or make informed decisions about contract continuations.

6. Marketing, Communications, and Content Creation

* Write engaging copy for newsletters, case studies, and other client-facing materials, strengthening YMS’s presence and reputation.

* Develop and maintain a content calendar for proactive communication with key client points of contact, ensuring ongoing visibility of YMS’s strengths and successes.

* Collaborate with the marketing team to enhance the positioning of YMS’s services in the market and develop new service offerings.

7. Strategic Initiatives and Continuous Improvement

* Lead marketing strategy reviews and contribute to the development of new services based on market analysis and client feedback.

* Establish and refine Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for tendering, contract renewal, and other related processes.

* Participate in service reviews to collect insights that will inform bid strategies and enhance client satisfaction.

Skills & Experience Required:

* Bid Management Experience: Proven track record in managing bids and tenders, with demonstrated success in increasing win rates.

* Procurement Knowledge: In-depth understanding of procurement legislation, especially related to direct awards and compliance with relevant laws.

* Project Management: Strong organizational skills, able to manage multiple bid processes, track deadlines, and coordinate across departments.

* Strong Writing Skills: Ability to craft compelling, persuasive responses that clearly communicate YMS’s value proposition.

* Analytical Skills: Skilled in reviewing and scoring bids, with an eye for identifying areas for improvement.

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs):

* Bid Success Rate: Track the percentage of successful bids and improve YMS’s overall win rate.

* Bid Process Efficiency: Measure turnaround time for tender documentation preparation and submission.

* Template & Library Utilization: Usage frequency and effectiveness of templates in expediting proposal processes
