Temporary: 6 month contract

Working hours: Freelance / Project collaboration

• The UK’s leading ‘innovation as a service’ organisation servicing public bodies, businesses, and infrastructure providers is seeking a Bid Manager to join their Bids team.

  Please note, this is a 6 month contract (with possibility of extension) and is paying up to £333 per day maximum and is inside IR35. The role can be fully remote with occasional visits to the London office or can be hybrid. The company operates a 9 day fortnight also.

  The organisation is preparing a strategically important corporate submission to the Government Commercial Agency’s RM6399 Consultancy and Professional Services framework. The agreement is intended to provide central government and the wider public sector with a compliant route to procure consultancy and professional services. The temporary Bid Manager will take day-to-day ownership of the submission from mobilisation through final upload, coordinating contributors across the organisation and maintaining a clear, controlled process.

  To be considered for this contract you must have:

  • A strong track record of personally managing complex, high-value UK public-sector framework or tender submissions from mobilisation through portal submission.

  • Demonstrable experience of consultancy or professional-services frameworks, ideally Crown Commercial Service or Government Commercial Agency procurements.

  • Detailed working knowledge of compliance matrices, bid schedules, governance gates, review processes, evidence management and eSourcing portals.

  • Experience coordinating conditions of participation and corporate compliance inputs across Finance, Commercial, Legal, Procurement, Risk and operational teams.

  • Experience identifying, validating and presenting contract evidence, case studies, CVs and customer-certified technical references against strict criteria.

  • Excellent writing and editing skills, with the ability to turn fragmented technical contributions into concise, persuasive and evidence-based responses.

  • Strong stakeholder management and the confidence to challenge senior contributors, resolve ambiguity, enforce deadlines and escalate material risks.

  • High attention to detail, disciplined version control and the ability to remain effective under a fixed and potentially compressed timetable.

  • Availability to commit sufficient concentrated time throughout the assignment, including the final review and submission period.
