Tendering, Business Development Manager

$10/hr Starting at $40

  • Negotiation skills. Managing big egos and tailoring communication styles to different stakeholders and personalities when negotiating critical and timely tender inputs. While managing big egos can be a challenge during a tight tender timeframe, it’s critical to get people working as collaboratively as possible throughout the entire tender process.
  • Comprehensive scheduling skills.  Scheduling skills can be applied by using Gantt charts, Excel Spreadsheets, Microsoft Project and SharePoint etc. It’s important to have an eye for intricate details, while also considering the overarching tender deadline and availability of tender resources.
  • Accountability. It's important for a tender manager to remain accountable throughout the entire tender process. This is also applicable to every single tender contributor. It’s useful to outline key tender role responsibilities and expectations from the outset and ensure people remain accountable for their inputs throughout the tender process.
  • Ability to multi-task - constantly. Communicating with multiple stakeholders and working on different tasks with competing deadlines is essential to a tender's success. It’s also tiring, but it's vital for a tender manager to effectively multi-task throughout the tender process.
  • Ability to delegate in a timely manner. An effective tender manager won’t waste time fiddling about with the front cover design when they have critical tender milestones to meet. They will brief and delegate this task to a skilled graphic designer who can design more effectively and much faster. It’s important to give key tender resources sufficient notice and clear briefs rather than dropping work on them at short notice.
  • Level headed. The ability to work accurately and calmly under pressure and within tight time frames. This is particularly important in the lead up to the deadline when tensions are high and nerves frayed. People have their own ways of dealing with stress, but it’s not a great reflection on a tender manager to curse at the computer and be rude to people - even if they blame their behavior on being stressed. 
  • Tolerance, combined with tenacity. Tenders are typically stressful and many people don’t always react well to stress. It’s good to be tolerant to some extent, but also tenacious enough to ensure you get the right information from the right stakeholders at the right time
