Feed lessons learned from delivery back into future bids. What you'll bring Proven experience coordinating tenders from enquiry to submission, with several live bids at once and tight deadlines. Hands-on experience completing PQQs, SSIP assessments or framework compliance submissions. Excellent writing skills, with the ability to draft accurate, persuasive content. Working knowledge of public and/or private sector procurement, ideally in construction, civils, landscaping or the wider built environment. Strong candidates from related sectors are welcome.
