Bid Operations Co-ordinator, Public Sector Bids Team, Internal Client

Your opportunity

Deloitte's public sector practice is one of the largest and most experienced providers of professional services to public sector clients in the UK. Because of the regulated nature of procurement in the public sector, the firm maintains a specialist team to manage the bids for entry onto framework agreements and other major contracts which serve as the principal routes to market for Deloitte's services to the public sector. The specialist team, called the "Public Sector Bid Team" (PSBT), also supports the public sector practice by providing an extensive platform of bid collateral, training, compliance activities, opportunity and bid administration, reporting and training to embed good practice.

The PSBT is responsible for managing bid activity across the public sector practice in all service lines. The team is responsible for maintaining our routes to market, and in gaining entry on to public sector frameworks. The PSBT's objective is to provide a cost-effective means of winning work in a highly competitive marketplace and to contribute to the management of commercial risk. The team also seeks to improve the win rate on public sector bids and assist the practice in achieving its ambitious growth target by 2020.

A major part of the PSBT's role is to bid for entry onto Crown Commercial Service (CCS) framework agreements, advising the business on use of the frameworks and encouraging compliance.
