About The Role:

Following a successful year of winning a number of public-sector tenders, Adaston is continuing to grow and strengthen its bid team to support our future expansion.

We are looking for a Bid Writer to join our close-knit team and play a key role in the successful delivery of our bid plans. You will work closely with the Bid Manager to identify opportunities, evaluate potential bids, develop high-quality tender responses and coordinate bid submissions from start to finish.

Previous bid-writing experience is desirable but not essential. We provide the training and specialist knowledge required for the role. What is essential is a strong ability to write clearly, accurately and persuasively, with the ability to communicate complex information in a concise and compelling way.

You will be expected to understand each opportunity, tailor our responses to the specific requirements of the client and ensure our submissions effectively communicate Adaston's strengths, experience and value proposition.

This is an excellent opportunity for a confident, motivated individual who is keen to learn, develop and build a long-term career within the bid industry.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Write high-quality responses to tenders and bids, ensuring all client requirements, specifications and deadlines are met
  • Work closely with the Bid Manager and wider business to develop compelling, evidence-based responses
  • Track and monitor bids throughout the process using Monday.com
  • Identify upcoming business opportunities and support proactive market engagement
  • Research market trends, client requirements and industry best practice to strengthen future submissions
  • Coordinate input from relevant internal stakeholders to ensure bids are accurate, consistent and delivered on time
  • Support business development activities, including site visits where appropriate
  • Review feedback from successful and unsuccessful bids and help identify opportunities for continuous improvement
  • Contribute ideas to improve existing processes and strengthen the overall bid function

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.
