We are recruiting a Bid/Preconstruction Manager to join a regional contractor based in Surrey. They have a number of new opportunities from existing clients and frameworks and are looking to increase their preconstruction team.
They target negotiated repeat business opportunities as well as framework opportunities and are secured on the DFE, Pagabo, SCF and local authority frameworks. They work on bids in the education, health, care, and defence marketplaces but will also consider 2 stage or negotiated work for key clients. They do not engage in single stage high-risk developments and work on projects valued between GBP2 and GBP20 million.
They have an excellent preconstruction team consisting of bid managers, estimators, design team, building services, and commercial experts who form a team for each bid and work collaboratively to achieve the best possible result.
Duties as a Bid/Preconstruction Manager include:
1. Develop strategy and decide if compliant tender is feasible.
2. If desirable, produce non-compliant tender or alternative proposal in parallel.
3. Produce & monitor Bid Programme, Response Tracker, and Budget.
4. Communicate requirements to bid team.
5. Ensure timely submission in required format.
6. Provide technical and operational input to the proposed technical solution.
7. Identify all project risks and mitigate as appropriate.
8. Write, contribute to, or review technical and SHESQ responses.
9. Ensure the submission complies with the tender requirements.
10. Agree estimating strategy with the Estimator or Estimating Manager.
11. Lead procurement of designers, subcontractors, and suppliers.
12. Chair meetings and interviews with prospective partners on critical packages.
13. Agree Project Programme Strategy with the Planning Manager.
14. Provide technical support to the Project Planner.
15. Review the Project Programme.
16. Ensure tender response review gateways are achieved.
17. Implement mitigation measures when there is programme slip, to ensure subsequent milestones are met.
18. Issue, manage, and respond to Technical Queries to and from Client and suppliers.
19. Where an alternative or non-compliant proposal is desirable and there is sufficient time, devise a strategy and ensure that it is produced in parallel with the proposal.
20. Contribute to and manage the production of all documents, programmes, drawings, plans, proposed methods, and risk assessments for the alternative submission.
The role is working at initial stages, so candidates from a bid, design, estimating, or early stage preconstruction role would be ideally suited to this position.
Opportunities like this are rare and would suit someone with experience of working within a preconstruction team on framework bids. If you are looking to move up to a national brand or are frustrated at a Tier 1, now is the time to make the move to a recession-busting business, so apply today.
