Senior Bid Writer – UK Public Sector
Edinburgh (Hybrid - Client Visits)
£70,000–£75,000 + Benefits
We're recruiting on behalf of a leading global technology consulting organisation for an experienced Senior Bid Writer to support the continued growth of its UK Public Sector business. This is a fantastic opportunity for an accomplished bid professional who thrives on producing winning proposals while helping shape and improve bid excellence across a growing organisation.
The Role
You'll take ownership of high-value public sector bids, leading the development of compelling, compliant, and high-scoring responses across a range of procurement processes including ITTs, SQs, PQQs, RFIs, RFPs, and framework submissions.
Working closely with senior stakeholders and subject matter experts, you'll transform complex technical, commercial, and delivery information into customer-focused proposals that clearly articulate value and align with evaluation criteria.
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.
You'll also play a key role in developing and maintaining a central bid content library, driving continuous improvement, sharing best practice, and helping to raise bid quality across the business.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead end-to-end bid responses for UK Public Sector opportunities.
- Develop persuasive, compliant, and customer-focused proposals.
- Analyse tender documentation, scoring criteria, and win themes.
- Collaborate with sales, delivery, finance, commercial, legal, and technical teams.
- Manage review cycles and ensure submission quality.
- Build and maintain reusable bid content, case studies, and response libraries.
- Capture lessons learned, monitor bid performance, and drive continuous improvement.
- Influence stakeholders and maintain momentum across multiple concurrent bids.
About You
You'll bring:
- Proven bid writing experience within an IT services, technology, or consulting environment.
- Strong knowledge of UK Public Sector procurement and evaluation processes.
- Experience writing business, commercial, financial, technical, and delivery responses.
- Excellent written communication and stakeholder management skills.
- The ability to manage multiple deadlines while maintaining exceptional quality.
- Experience with public sector frameworks and bid libraries would be advantageous.
