About Us 👋
We're a small UK software studio building systems for clients who can't afford them to break. We recently won a multi-year public sector contract against considerably bigger competitors, and we won it on the strength of the bid itself rather than the size of our team. We don't have a bid department. We have two directors and a deadline. We're looking for someone to change that.
Role overview 🥁
As our Senior Tender Advisor, you'll own how we find, choose and win public sector work. This isn't a form-filling role. Some of the most valuable work you'll do is telling us which tenders to walk away from. You'll work directly with the directors, with nobody sitting between you and the decision.
Responsibilities 🔨
- Identify and qualify opportunities across Find a Tender, Contracts Finder and the major framework portals.
- Own bid responses end to end: SQ/PQQ, ITT, method statements, social value, pricing narrative.
- Keep us compliant and current under the Procurement Act 2023.
- Build a reusable bid library so we stop answering the same questions from scratch.
- Run debriefs and post-award feedback, and feed what we learn into the next bid.
- Advise on go/no-go honestly, including when the honest answer is no.
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.
What we're looking for 🔍
A real track record of winning UK public sector tenders, with the scars to prove it. Sharp, plain writing that an evaluator understands on the first read. Working knowledge of the Procurement Act 2023 and what actually changed under it. Comfort in a small team, where the process is whatever you build. Tech sector experience is a bonus, not a requirement. We can teach you what we do; we can't teach you fifteen years of knowing how buyers think.

- Genuine influence over which markets we go after.
- A results-oriented team that moves fast and won't drown you in process.
