Bid & Proposals Manager

Prevail Partners is growing and we are looking for an experienced Bid & Proposals Manager to join our Commercial Development team. This is an opportunity to play a central role in shaping how we present our expertise, build client relationships, and secure strategically important work across a diverse portfolio of programmes.

Working closely with operational, technical, and commercial teams, you will lead the development of high-quality, compelling proposals that clearly communicate our capabilities and differentiate Prevail in competitive markets. You will contribute to bids spanning defence, security, technology, advisory, and capability development services, supporting both government and commercial clients on complex operational, training, and strategic programmes.

This role offers significant variety, autonomy, and exposure across the business, making it well suited to an ambitious bid professional who enjoys working in a fast-paced, collaborative environment with real-world impact.

We welcome applications from experienced bid professionals both within and outside the defence sector, particularly those with an interest in national security, government contracting, and complex professional services environments.

Key Responsibilities 

• Lead the preparation of bid responses, including RFIs, PQQs, ITTs, RFPs, and RFQs. Develop proposals that are both fully compliant and persuasive, highlighting Prevail Partners as the trusted choice for complex intelligence and security requirements.
• Maintain and enhance the bid content library, ensuring that all case studies, capability statements, and value propositions accurately reflect our unique position within the defence and intelligence sector.
• Collaborate closely with the Bid Manager, Head of Commercial Development, and subject matter experts from across the business, including operational teams and technical specialists, to obtain accurate, relevant, and compelling content.
• Manage multiple concurrent bid processes to ensure all deliverables are met within agreed timelines and to the highest standard.
• Conduct thorough reviews of submissions to confirm compliance with all requirements and formatting standards.
• Analyse tender documentation to identify risks, requirements, and opportunities, ensuring these are addressed in bid strategies.
• Participate in post-bid reviews to evaluate performance and implement lessons learned for future improvement.
• Monitor developments in the defence, security, and intelligence procurement environment, including budget cycles, framework updates, and market trends, to inform bid planning.
