Job Description
Job Purpose:
LGC are currently engaged in a tender process for a 6-lot procurement worth £400m over an initial 5 years. We are the incumbent for elements of the lots, but the structure is new and the process is expected to be very competitive.
To support effective decision making throughout the bid it will be important to monitor the costs of the proposition as it stands at any point in time. We therefore need a cost model be kept in sync with the Future Mode of Operation document.
This is potentially complex due to TUPE implications and probability that whilst each of the 6-lots will need to be independently priced, the actual cost of delivery will be impacted by the number of lots secured. Establishing and maintaining a cost model will also be vital given the need for decisions on partnerships.
LGC therefore seeks a person who can work with the bid team for the duration of the procurement (estimated to be 6 months) and can develop a complex cost model.
Key Responsibilities:
* Develop appropriate financial models for tender submissions covering various scenarios
* Analyse costs and work with bid team on pricing strategy to ensure competitive bids
* Collaborate with subject matter experts, response leads and bid team to understand and challenge cost drivers
* Understand potential cost implications of multi-lot bids and work with bid team to ensure synergies are well communicated in the bid
* Work with potential partners/collaborators on their costs for delivery of lot elements
Qualifications
Experience & Qualifications Required:
Required Criteria
* Qualified accountant (e.g., ACA, ACCA, or CIMA)
* Extensive experience in bid work and tendering
* Proficiency in financial modelling (including use of appropriate tools)
* Familiarity with cost implications of TUPE
