Service Tender Excellence Manager
Are you an expert in tender excellence with a passion for shaping winning tenders in healthcare? We are looking for a Service Tender Excellence Manager to lead the end-to-end delivery of high‑quality, competitive service tenders across our UK Chronic Care business. This is a pivotal role where your expertise will directly influence outcomes for patients, partners and the wider NHS, while strengthening Coloplast’s position as a trusted healthcare partner.
The Role
As Service Tender Excellence Manager, you will own and drive the full tender lifecycle for Chronic Care service opportunities, ensuring submissions are compelling, compliant and aligned to NHS evaluation criteria. Acting as the subject‑matter expert in tender strategy, bid writing and win themes, you will coordinate cross‑functional inputs from commercial, clinical and support teams, manage timelines and governance, and continuously elevate the quality and consistency of our tender responses. You will also help embed best‑practice tender processes, tools and behaviours across the organisation, contributing to improved win rates and stronger partnerships.
Who Are We Looking For
We are seeking a highly organised, analytical and persuasive professional with proven experience in winning NHS tenders. You will be confident managing complex projects with multiple stakeholders, translating data, evidence and outcomes into clear and compelling service propositions. Strong written communication skills are essential, along with a deep understanding of NHS procurement processes, evaluation scoring and public sector frameworks. You will be comfortable challenging and coaching others, bringing structure, discipline and excellence to every submission.

#LI-CO
Coloplast develops products and services to make life easier for people with deeply personal and private medical conditions. These conditions are often associated with trauma and taboo. The more intimate the condition, the greater the requirement to come closer to customers, understand their world and develop solutions that are sensitive to their special needs. We call this intimate healthcare.
Closeness to all customers makes this possible. We listen to better understand needs and respond by finding new ways to do things better together. We lead the way by bringing the best ideas first and fast to market in the form of medical devices and service solutions.
Deeply private and personal medical conditions are our focus. Our passion to make a real difference to people’s lives is what drives and unites us. Our culture supports high ambitions and releases the full potential of our own people to achieve them.
Our business includes Ostomy Care, Continence Care, Advanced Wound Care, Interventional Urology and Voice & Respiratory Care. We operate globally, employing more than 16,500 people.
