- Contribute reusable assets each cycle: proposal modules, response libraries and compliance matrices.
- Lead the monthly win and loss root cause review on the top three to five deals.
- Complete compliance, training, surveys and reviews in full, ahead of every deadline.
- Bid ownership: share of all du Tech bid opportunities personally led, against the coverage set in the annual performance target.
- Bid win rate across submitted bids, against the target set in the annual performance objectives.
- On time submission of every assigned bid against the client timeline, with a documented action log.
- Risk mitigation and compliance against client requirements, templates, formatting and governance standards.
- Governance: Lead to Order adherence end to end, from bid or no bid checklist and kick off through submission, handover and repository.
- Renewal and change request revenue secured with bid support, and the weekly funnel cadence held.
- Estimate of record completeness on every assigned pursuit.
- Team contribution: knowledge shared, and reusable assets contributed and used by others.
- Targets and weights against each measure are set annually in the individual performance objectives and the Bid Management scorecard.
