At Kingdom, we're ambitious, growing and people-focused. We deliver award-winning Security, Cleaning, Recruitment and Training services across the UK and are recognised for providing exceptional service with care.

As our Security Division continues to grow, we are looking for an experienced Bid Manager to play a critical role in securing new business and retaining key customer partnerships.

This is not a bid administration role.

This is an opportunity to own the tender process, influence strategy, challenge thinking, and directly contribute to winning major contracts across the security sector.

The Opportunity

Reporting to the Principal Sales Director, you will manage the full end-to-end tender process, leading multiple opportunities simultaneously and translating complex customer requirements into compelling, compliant and winning submissions.

You will work alongside senior leaders, operational experts and subject matter specialists to create security solutions that stand out from the competition.

If you're competitive, commercially minded, love writing winning responses and thrive under pressure, we'd love to hear from you.

 Managing the end-to-end TE20 tender process

 Leading bid planning, coordination and submission activities

 Writing, editing and strengthening high-scoring tender responses

 Working with operational teams to develop winning solutions

 Delivering post-tender clarifications and presentations

 Resilient & Accountable

You remain calm under pressure, own your tenders from launch to submission and always deliver.

 Stakeholder Influencer

You can confidently engage with Directors, Operational Leaders and Subject Matter Experts, challenging constructively when required.

 Continuous Improver

You don't settle for "good enough". You constantly refine content, improve processes and learn from feedback.
