Bid Manager

Build something monumental for Healthcare! At Tandem Health we’re reimagining healthcare by putting clinicians first. Our platform - designed by clinicians, for clinicians - is built on deep insight into real-world pain points, with intuitive medical notes and workflows that truly support patient care. We’re a fast-scaling health-tech company backed by top investors and expanding globally. We move fast, stay curious, and believe building something that matters starts with an extraordinary team. If you're passionate about impact and innovation, we'd love to meet you! About the Role Most of the contracts we win in UK healthcare start life as a tender, as do a growing number of deals with private providers, social care organisations and national programmes. We’re looking for a Bid Manager to own that process across the UK and Ireland, from deciding which opportunities to chase to pressing submit. You’ll work with Commercial, Medical Operations, Clinical Safety, Product, Security and Finance, and turn what we know into answers an evaluator can score. Your job is to help us win more of the right bids, and to build the process and content library that makes every bid after that faster. What You Will Do Own bids end to end: qualification, bid/no-bid decisions, planning, kick-off, drafting, review, compliance checks, submission and clarification questions. Bid across the whole market: NHS trusts, ICBs and primary care, national frameworks, local authority social care, central government and devolved nations’ programmes, and private and independent sector providers. Write and edit responses on clinical value, implementation, clinical safety, information governance, security, social value and pricing. Work with subject matter experts (clinicians, clinical safety officers, engineers, security and finance) to get the right input on time, and turn complex technical and regulatory detail into clear, compliant answers. Develop win themes and executive summaries that connect our evidence to what each buyer is actually scoring. Track upcoming tenders, frameworks and dynamic markets, and help Commercial leadership decide where to spend our effort. Keep the bid library current: standard answers, case studies, evidence, policies and certifications. Run post-bid reviews, collect evaluator feedback and use it to lift our win rate. Work with the delivery team to track the social value commitments we make once a contract is awarded. Improve how we bid, including the AI tools and workflows we already use to draft and review answers. What You Bring Proven experience as a Bid Manager or senior Bid Writer, with a track record of winning public sector healthcare or social care contracts. Working knowledge of UK public procurement, including the Procurement Act 2023, the Provider Selection Regime, frameworks and dynamic markets. Experience beyond the NHS, such as local authorities, central government, devolved administrations, or private and independent sector buyers. Excellent writing. You can make a complex answer short, clear and compliant, and we’ll ask you to show us. Strong project management. You can run several bids at once, hold people to deadlines and stay calm the night before a noon submission. Confidence working with senior clinical, technical and commercial stakeholders, and challenging them when an answer isn’t good enough yet. Commercial judgement about which bids are worth pursuing, and the confidence to recommend a no-bid. Comfort in a fast-paced scale-up and genuine enthusiasm for using AI in your own work. Bonus Points Experience bidding for digital health, health tech or SaaS contracts. Familiarity with NHS digital standards such as DTAC, DSPT, DCB0129 and DCB0160. Experience with frameworks such as NHS SBS, Crown Commercial Service or regional NHS frameworks. APMP accreditation or equivalent. Experience bidding in Ireland or other European markets. A clinical, social care or public sector commissioning background. How to Apply We adopt a continuous selection process, so please make sure to apply with your CV in English.
