• Ensure OneTouch is eligible and prepared to respond to relevant social care tenders as they arise.

Market & Opportunity Intelligence

• Build and maintain a comprehensive database of all UK local authorities and their current care technology suppliers, procurement timelines, and commissioning models.
• Track and analyse upcoming tender opportunities, ensuring proactive engagement and strategic planning.

Stakeholder Engagement

• Actively reach out to commissioners, procurement officers, and care providers in advance of tenders to establish relationships and understand their challenges and digital needs.
• Represent OneTouch Health in external meetings, pre-tender engagement sessions, and market warming events.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Work across multiple OneTouch brand entities, coordinating inputs and ensuring alignment of brand messaging, value proposition, and bid content.
• Collaborate with Sales, Product, Legal, and Operations teams to gather required information and tailor responses accordingly.
• Maintain a library of up-to-date bid content and responses.
• Conduct post-bid reviews and analyse feedback to continuously improve submission quality and win rates.

Requirements:

• Proven experience in managing public sector bids, ideally in health or social care technology.
• Strong understanding of UK local authority procurement processes and frameworks.
• Demonstrable success in identifying, managing, and winning complex bids in the public or private care sector.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Highly organised, with the ability to manage multiple live bids and deadlines simultaneously.
• Comfortable engaging with senior stakeholders in local authorities and care organisations.
• Strong commercial awareness and ability to align bid strategies with broader business objectives.
• Proficient in Microsoft Office and bid management tools (e.g. SharePoint, CRM systems, procurement portals).
• Self-starter with the ability to work independently in a fully remote environment.
• Experience working within or alongside local authority adult or children’s services.
• Familiarity with frameworks such as G-Cloud, Bloom, NEPO, and regional DPS platforms.
• Knowledge of digital care records or SaaS solutions within the health and social care ecosystem.
