• End-to-End Bid Management: Lead the full lifecycle of tender submissions, from initial review and purchasing of tender documents (RFP/RFQ) to the final compilation of technical and commercial offers.
• Documentation & Accuracy: Ensure all bid submissions are 100% accurate, fully compliant with the tender’s scope of work, and submitted well before strict government deadlines.
• Local Content Compliance: Work closely with internal teams to calculate and integrate the Local Content baseline and target scores into government bids, ensuring strict alignment with the Local Content and Government Procurement Authority (LCGPA) regulations.

Cross-Functional Coordination

• Pricing Strategy: Partner with the Finance and Sales Directors to develop highly competitive pricing strategies, Bills of Quantities (BOQs), and profit margin analyses for each bid.
• Supply Chain Synchronization: Verify stock availability, lead times, and cold-chain logistics capabilities with the Supply Chain team to ensure we can meet the tender’s delivery schedules without incurring penalties.

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)

• Tender Win Rate: Increase the percentage of successful bids across both NUPCO and private sector RFPs.
• Submission Compliance: Maintain a 100% compliance rate with zero tender rejections due to missing documents, expired certificates, or late submissions.
• Margin Protection: Ensure submitted pricing strictly adheres to the approved gross margin targets while remaining competitive.
• Bond Recovery: Achieve a timely return rate for expired bid bonds to optimize the company’s working capital and bank credit limits.

• Regulatory Knowledge: Strong understanding of Saudi Government Tenders and Procurement Law, LCGPA mandates, and SFDA documentation requirements.
