Roles and Responsibilities

What is a Bid Manager, and what does the job entail? Looking at the roles and responsibilities that apply to a Bid Manager, or the person nominated to deliver a bid, provides the answer to this question (see Figure 2.1). The first thing to note is that this will vary from organization to organization and depend to some extent on the background and skill set of the person involved. One of the goals of this chapter is to provide a model for producing a job description for a Bid Manager for organizations that do not already have one.
