About the role

Contracts and Tenders Administrator

The Contracts and Tenders team plays a key role within Bidfood's Customer Development function, leading the management and delivery of tenders for both existing and prospective customers. The team is focused on continuously strengthening Bidfood's offer and aims to:

• Help position Bidfood as a market leader
• Create distinctive and compelling customer propositions
• Add value through a strong understanding of customer needs
• Drive business and operational improvements
• Stay flexible and adaptable while delivering profitable service
• Bring a strong team focus and passion for winning

As a Contracts and Tenders Administrator, you will manage team inboxes to ensure business queries are handled promptly, while also acting as a key contact for specific customer queries.

You will work across multiple sectors to maintain an accurate and robust Terms & Conditions database on CRM, producing regular reports and audits for senior stakeholders. You will also support the creation of customer facing Terms & Conditions documents, using approved templates and working with the legal team to secure the necessary authorisations.

You will monitor a range of websites to ensure tender opportunities are not missed and keep an up to date record of all opportunities.

Alongside this, you will support the wider Contracts & Tenders team with projects, tender submissions, and meetings.

In this role, you will work closely with Central Support functions, National Account Managers, Finance, Coding, Corporate Procurement, Marketing, Supply Chain, and Technical Services to ensure end to end processes are completed in line with business requirements.

We are a supportive and social team that works hard to win and retain business. We are looking for someone who takes pride in their work and values being part of a collaborative team.

This role is ideal for someone at the start of their career, with clear opportunities for development and progression. To succeed, you will need to use your initiative and work effectively as part of a team. You should have solid PC skills and intermediate knowledge of Microsoft Office, particularly Excel, Outlook, and Word. Experience with CRM systems would be beneficial but is not essential. Strong written and verbal communication skills, the ability to engage with stakeholders at all levels, excellent organisation, and effective workload prioritisation are all important. A high level of attention to detail and the ability to follow established processes accurately are essential.
