Bid Writer

We’ve been in Britain’s homes for over 200 years. But at British Gas, we’ve never been more excited about the future. Right now, we’re at a pivotal moment. As well as leading our customers through a once-in-a-generation cost of living crisis, we’ve got big plans to get our homes closer to Net Zero.

That’s why we need a Bid Manager/Writer to join our team and help us get to where we’re going. You’ll bring bags of energy, know-how and passion to our family of door-opening brands, including British Gas and Hive. And you’ll join a team who are just as focused on delivering fantastic results as you are.

The role will play an important part in the continued growth of our business through retention of existing social housing contracts and winning new work. This will include a range of traditional heating contracts as well as opportunities in the field of renewables and related technologies.

You can be based anywhere in the UK, working as part of a remote team, to deliver a bid writing and proposal development service. This will involve project management of social housing bids while liaising with operational delivery teams, and co-ordinating internal and external stakeholders throughout the bid process.

Key Responsibilities:

Manage the end-to-end bid process, ensuring compliance with internal governance procedures and external client timescales
Summarise client requirements and brief internal teams to ensure understanding of specification and risk
Produce customer focussed and compelling soft market test documentation, supplier questionnaires and tender quality submissions.
Develop a creative approach to the writing and presentation of bids, using client feedback to continually improve and develop our proposals
Build internal and external relationships with internal stakeholders associated with the bid process to create accurate, timely high-quality bids.
Maintain and update an information library detailing key processes, achievements, experience and case studies
Thoroughly review tenders that you are responsible for to ensure risks are properly understood and controlled.
Understand the build-up and cost mechanisms within the tender, and the impact of client requirements on the quality and pricing solutions.
Support in preparing and delivery of client presentations post submission.
