We are recruiting a Bid Manager to join a specialist contractor based near Newbury. They have exceeded all their targets and budgets for 2024 and have secured pipelines of work for 2024/25. Due to the volume of opportunities, they are looking to increase their preconstruction team.
They target single stage, negotiated, and framework opportunities and are secured on a range of national and local authority frameworks. They work on bids in the partnership housing, apartment, and one-off spec development sectors and are open to developments valued between £2 and £20 million.
The preconstruction team consists 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 results.
Duties as a Bid Manager include:
1. Develop strategy and assess 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 the bid team.
5. Ensure timely submission in the 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 for programme slips to ensure subsequent milestones are met.
18. Issue, manage, and respond to Technical Queries from clients and suppliers.
19. Devise a strategy for alternative or non-compliant proposals when time permits.
20. Contribute to and manage the production of all documents, programmes, drawings, plans, proposed methods, and risk assessments for the alternative submission.
They offer a hybrid working model based on business case decisions - up to 3 days in the office and 2 at home on a traditional week, factoring in client meetings and site visits for flexibility.
Opportunities like this are rare and would suit someone with experience in a preconstruction team on framework bids. If you are looking to move to a young and growing business or are frustrated at a Tier 1, now is the time to make the move to a business going places.
