Job Description – Bid Coordinator

Position Overview

The Bid Coordinator is responsible for managing the end-to-end bid process, ensuring that all tender submissions, proposals, and pre-qualification documents are completed accurately, professionally, and on time. This role acts as the central point of coordination between business development, technical teams, and management, ensuring GANDEN delivers compelling, competitive, and compliant bids.

  • Maintain a library of standard bid content, project sheets, resumes, and compliance documents.
  • Monitor tender portals and flag relevant opportunities to management when required.
  • Confidently engage with technical leads to extract required inputs, keeping contributors accountable to agreed timelines.

Content Development & Quality Assurance

  • Write, edit, and format non-technical sections of bids (e.g. company profiles and performance metrics).
  • Ensure brand consistency, professional presentation, and adherence to client requirements.
  • Proofread and check submissions for clarity, accuracy, and compliance with tender specifications.

Stakeholder Coordination

  • Facilitate bid kick-off meetings and communicate roles, responsibilities, and timelines to all contributors.
  • Liaise with internal subject matter experts to gather technical input and pricing information.
  • Coordinate with external partners and subcontractors when required.

Process & Continuous Improvement

  • Track and report on bid outcomes and feedback to improve future submissions.
  • Support the development of bid strategy, win themes, and differentiators.
  • Refine and implement efficient bid management processes and tools.

Qualifications & Skills

  • Proven ability to manage competing deadlines while coordinating multiple contributors.
  • Confidence in liaising with senior technical staff and external stakeholders without requiring a technical background.
  • Minimum 2–3 years' experience in bid coordination, proposal writing, or a similar role.
  • Strong organisational skills with the ability to manage multiple deadlines.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills with a focus on accuracy and detail.
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) and Adobe PDF tools.
  • Knowledge of tender portals and procurement processes (desirable).
  • Collaborative team player with the ability to work under pressure and maintain composure.

Performance Indicators

  • Percentage of bids delivered on time and in compliance with client requirements.
