About the Role
Tandem Health is seeking a Bid Manager to oversee the entire bid process for UK healthcare opportunities, from initial qualification to final submission. This role involves collaborating with various internal teams to craft compelling responses that score well with evaluators, aiming to increase win rates and streamline future bidding processes.
Responsibilities
- Own bids end to end: qualification, bid/no-bid decisions, planning, kick-off, drafting, review, compliance checks, submission and clarification questions.
- Bid across the whole market: NHS trusts, ICBs and primary care, national frameworks, local authority social care, central government and devolved nations’ programmes, and private and independent sector providers.
- Write and edit responses on clinical value, implementation, clinical safety, information governance, security, social value and pricing.
- Work with subject matter experts to get the right input on time, and turn complex technical and regulatory detail into clear, compliant answers.
- Develop win themes and executive summaries that connect our evidence to what each buyer is actually scoring.
- Track upcoming tenders, frameworks and dynamic markets, and help Commercial leadership decide where to spend our effort.
- Keep the bid library current: standard answers, case studies, evidence, policies and certifications.
- Run post-bid reviews, collect evaluator feedback and use it to lift our win rate.
- Work with the delivery team to track the social value commitments we make once a contract is awarded.
- Improve how we bid, including the AI tools and workflows we already use to draft and review answers.
Requirements
- Proven experience as a Bid Manager or senior Bid Writer, with a track record of winning public sector healthcare or social care contracts.
- Working knowledge of UK public procurement, including the Procurement Act 2023, the Provider Selection Regime, frameworks and dynamic markets.
- Experience beyond the NHS, such as local authorities, central government, devolved administrations, or private and independent sector buyers.
- Excellent writing skills; ability to make a complex answer short, clear and compliant.
- Strong project management skills; ability to run several bids at once, hold people to deadlines and stay calm under pressure.
- Confidence working with senior clinical, technical and commercial stakeholders, and challenging them when an answer isn’t good enough yet.
- Commercial judgement about which bids are worth pursuing, and the confidence to recommend a no-bid.
- Comfort in a fast-paced scale-up environment.
- Genuine enthusiasm for using AI in your own work.
- Experience bidding for digital health, health tech or SaaS contracts.
- Familiarity with NHS digital standards such as DTAC, DSPT, DCB0129 and DCB0160.
- Experience with frameworks such as NHS SBS, Crown Commercial Service or regional NHS frameworks.
- APMP accreditation or equivalent.
- Experience bidding in Ireland or other European markets.
- A clinical, social care or public sector commissioning background.
- CV in English.
- Tandem handles sensitive patient data and will conduct a background check before hiring any candidate.
