About Trueform
Trueform Manufacturing & Technologies Group designs, manufactures, and installs intelligent transport, Smart City, Active Travel, and digital display solutions for public spaces. With over 150,000 deployments in major cities worldwide, we deliver turnkey infrastructure and technology for bus, rail, BRT/LRT, wayfinding, cycling, air passenger transport, and outdoor advertising.
Our teams bring together designers, technologists, transport experts, and advanced manufacturing professionals to deliver integrated, customized solutions.
The Role - Bid Writer
We’re looking for an experienced Bid Writer to support engineering, manufacturing, and digital advertising bids for public-sector clients, including TfL, UK councils, and local authorities. This will include ITTs, PQQs, RFQs, and framework submissions.
Our bids typically cover wayfinding schemes, bus shelters, and digital advertising displays, including their design, manufacture, and installation. Project values range from approximately £500k to £40 million.
You’ll have a minimum of three years’ bid-writing experience and a strong understanding of how public-sector tenders are evaluated and scored. You’ll be able to produce high-scoring, evidence-led, and benefit-focused responses that are tailored to the specific requirements of each project and client.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Your writing style should be factual, specific, and compliant. Responses should be written for evaluators rather than as marketing copy, with clear evidence to support claims and no generic, unsubstantiated, or unsupported statements.
What you'll do
- Analyse ITTs, PQQs, and RFQs and identify key requirements and compliance criteria
- Develop your understanding of our products to ensure your answers align with the technical specifications
- Liaise with SMEs to extract key information effectively, so you can produce first, nearly complete drafts
- Research clients, develop win themes, and tailor bid narratives
- Develop clear, structured answer plans for each bid question
- Write technical, compliant, evidence-led, and benefit-led responses
- Maintain and develop our Bid Library, keeping it organised, accurate, and up to date
- Manage your own workload and competing priorities once tenders are assigned by the Head of Bid Management
- Use AI tools such as Copilot to improve efficiency and streamline processes, allowing a greater focus on high-quality, evidence-led responses tailored to each project and client
