Job Description

Are you ready to take the next step in your bids career and start owning tenders end-to-end?

Do you enjoy turning data, insight, and commercial strategy into winning proposals?

Would you like to join a growing Foodservice division within a large, established wholesale group – where your work directly shapes which contracts we win next?

MacGregor Black is partnering with a market-leading wholesale business to appoint a Contract Bid Executive / Junior Bid Manager. This is a permanent, on-site role based in Newcastle Upon Tyne, ideally suited to someone in the North of England who’s looking for that first real step up in responsibility.

Key Responsibilities:

• Support and lead the preparation and submission of tender proposals for key Foodservice customers.
• Work closely with the Contract Management team to identify, track, and prioritise future business opportunities.
• Maintain and continually improve a professional library of contractual and bid-related documents.
• Help drive a consistent, well-structured bid process so that tenders are delivered on time, every time.
• Act as a point of contact for customers when the Contract Management team is unavailable, ensuring a professional, joined-up experience.
• Help maximise opportunities through existing framework agreements by spotting upsell and cross-sell potential.
• Collaborate with trading and commercial teams to build tailored product ranges that meet specific customer needs.
• Build and maintain regional opportunity trackers to support proactive business development.

What We're Looking For:

• Experience in Foodservice, wholesale, or retail – ideally in a commercial, contracts, or bids/tenders environment.
• Some exposure to the tender or proposal process – for example, supporting bid submissions, pricing, or documentation.
• Strong communication skills – you’re comfortable working with different stakeholders and presenting ideas clearly.
• Good attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple tasks or projects at the same time.
• Confidence working with Excel, PowerPoint and Microsoft Office to analyse data and build clear, compelling documents.
• A proactive mindset – you like to improve processes, not just follow them.
