Strategic Bid Manager (NHS) UK-wide (hybrid working) | Salary c. £80,000 + car allowance + Bonus +package A market-leading UK healthcare services provider is exploring the appointment of a Strategic Bid Lead to help shape and win large-scale NHS opportunities working beyond individual Trust sales to engage ICBs, networks and multi-Trust groupings (eg, national or regional clusters such as NHS Wales/NHS Scotland-type frameworks). This is a highly strategic, long-horizon role (often 12months + ahead of procurement) focused on co-creating value with senior NHS stakeholders and aligning internal subject-matter experts to build a compelling, differentiated proposition moving the conversation away from "price-only" and towards shared outcomes. The role Reporting into the senior commercial leadership team, you will work alongside Sales Managers/Business Development colleagues as the "bid chair" for major strategic pursuits, owning the pursuit strategy, stakeholder plan, internal orchestration and value story that positions the organisation to win. Key responsibilities Lead strategic pursuits for large NHS opportunities at ICB/network/multi-Trust level. Build early, senior relationships with NHS stakeholders (eg, ICB Directors, Network Directors, senior operational leadership) well ahead of formal tenders. Identify and develop value differentiators (clinical/service innovation, digital/IT enablement, operational outcomes, transformation, etc.) to reduce reliance on price-based discussions. Orchestrate internal SMEs (eg, IT leadership, innovation teams, operations, clinical/service experts) to shape a unified offer and "win strategy." Provide structure and governance: pursuit plan, stakeholder mapping, messaging, timelines, decision dynamics and bid readiness. Contribute to (and in parts lead) tender creation, while keeping the emphasis on pre-tender influence, value creation and strategic engagement. Partner with sales colleagues on clusters of accounts to create a joined-up approach and consistent executive narrative. What we're looking for Proven experience in strategic sales/senior BDM/bid leadership roles involving complex, multi-stakeholder decision processes. Track record of selling into the NHS and navigating public-sector procurement dynamics. Strong exposure to tenders/bids but with clear capability in upstream shaping, stakeholder engagement and value proposition development. Credibility engaging at senior levels (system/region level), with the maturity to influence internally and externally. Ability to bring people together and drive momentum without direct line-management authority (Matrix leadership). Domain background Radiology/pathology/imaging experience is helpful but not essential. What matters most is system-level NHS stakeholder access/understanding (ICBs, networks, senior operational leaders) and the ability to craft outcome-led value. Apply now to avoid missing out!
