Bid Writer 04/01/2018 - current
Environmental Essentials Ltd, Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire United Kingdom
Industry: Environmental: Asbestos Management
Production of industry specific proposals to win contracts with values ranging from £30,000 to £15 million for larger blue chip clients.
Company values must be clearly articulated to demonstrate the organisation's value. Role depends on researching, analysis and knowledge of various departments including: Health & Safety, Quality and Technical Management, HR, Finance and Procurement. External deadlines require an ability to work efficiently under pressure alongside flexibility with hours. Development of technical knowledge, including industry specific regulations and accreditations, has been essential and extremely interesting to learn and expand upon. Contracts vary on a local and national basis and therefore an understanding of geographical resource management has also been essential. Due to the necessity to maintain and demonstrate best practice of industry standards within proposals, the job role also includes identifying any areas of necessary improvement for company i.e. missing or expired accreditations, policies and procedures and emerging industry innovations. Since beginning role, I have identified the growing requirement of clients for companies to demonstrate Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and have both written a CSR policy and formed a CSR group consisting of all head of departments. I have also created a database of all essential information to maximise efficiency of bid process alongside creating a bid pipeline that logs all competitor contracts with expiration dates. This allows sales team to approach clients before procurement process begins; this has dramatically increased our success rate and has provided the company with a greater understanding of competitor advantages.--
