Blue Legal are partnering with a leading law firm to recruit a Bid Manager to join one of their offices on a 12-14 month FTC. You will lead and project-manage formal tender responses and produce credentials and proposals for the legal and surveying businesses within the Property Platform, ensuring all submissions are accurate, compliant and delivered on time.

The Responsibilities:

  • Lead tenders and proposals across the Property Platform, including legal, consultancy, and cross-platform opportunities.
  • Identify, scope, and evaluate bids by guiding bid/no-bid decisions and developing winning strategies with fee earners, supported by client and prospect research.
  • Project manage tender processes from kick-off to submission, coordinating pricing, contract reviews, and stakeholder input to ensure accuracy and compliance.
  • Draft, edit, and proofread high-quality content while ensuring all materials follow brand guidelines and liaising with support teams for accurate information.
  • Coach fee earners in presentation preparation and support follow-up through proactive debriefs, win/loss analysis, and fulfilment of bid-related commitments.
  • Collaborate closely with the wider Property New Business team to maintain a strong, consistent, and efficient bid process.
  • Contribute to and maintain the Content Hub, keeping precedent materials up to date and gathering strong case studies, sector experience, and best-practice responses.
  • Promote cross-selling opportunities, share innovative ideas across the platform, and help drive continuous improvement and consistency in bid approaches.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
