Your New Role
We have a fantastic opportunity for a Bid Writer to join our Secure Infrastructure – Work Winning team on a 12 Month Fixed Term Contract.

You will provide bid writing services to the bid team, accessing knowledge resources and the range of previous bids, to ensure the production of high-quality responses.

- Interview subject matter experts to produce compliant and engaging content, conveying technical information and solutions in a clear way
- Analyse client requirements including compliance and evaluation criteria to help maximise scores across all responses
- Input to answer planning/storyboarding workshops to help structure our responses so they are easy to evaluate and shape question content
- Provide structural, written and editorial services to bid teams with assistance from the Bid Manager as required
- Support development of value propositions and win themes which are aligned to the client’s ‘hot buttons’, and ensure these are articulated effectively throughout all our bid responses to help differentiate Amey’s bid submissions
- Monitor the overall quality of written content as it progresses, to ensure that it maintains a consistent ‘voice’ throughout
- Carry out final editing and proofreading of quality responses to maximise readability, consistency and accuracy
- Support the post-tender lessons learned process to help embed continuous improvement in bid writing.
