Video Summary

The panel discussion introduced the Bid and Proposal Coordinator Apprenticeship, hosted by the ISP with training providers RHG and JJH. Dan Hodgetts explained the apprenticeship structure: a paid job with at least six hours per week of off-the-job training, followed by gateway and an independent end-point assessment by the ISP.<br /><br />Lee Patterson and Angela Denise described the standard as much more than bid writing. It covers knowledge, skills, and behaviours such as using bid portals, managing tender documents, understanding the bid and sales lifecycle, building resource plans, maintaining CRM and knowledge libraries, proofreading, compliance matrices, GDPR, win plans, and competitor analysis. It is suitable for people in bid, business development, administration, commercial, estimating, and proposal roles across public and private sectors.<br /><br />They explained that delivery is remote, using live webinars, one-to-one coaching, assignments, and workplace evidence through systems like OneFile. Employers are expected to stay actively involved through progress reviews and workplace support. Gateway leads to end-point assessment, which includes a professional discussion and a closed-book knowledge test.<br /><br />The speakers also highlighted progression opportunities, with apprentices moving into senior bid writer roles, broader business development roles, or leading bid teams. The apprenticeship is fundable through the levy or with employer co-investment, making it a cost-effective way to upskill staff and strengthen bid teams.
