Bid Specialist

Location: Perth

With more than 8 years’ experience in bidding as a bid manager, bid writer and consultant, Craig brings deep sector expertise, strategic thinking, and a genuine passion for using tenders as a force for good.

His career began in the UK, where he worked on a range of bids across criminal justice, education and community services – securing major contracts, including wins valued up to £600 million. He has led and written tenders for higher education providers, prison education, apprenticeship programs, social impact services and more. These were often high-stakes, deeply impactful bids, with Craig playing a central role in shaping ideas that have since influenced national policy and practice.

While social impact is the most rewarding part of his role, Craig is a writer at heart. Meticulous in his preparation and thoughtful in his approach, he knows how to draw the best from subject matter experts (usually with a cup of tea and a good chinwag), turning insights into compelling, carefully crafted responses. He also brings strong strategy development capabilities, including for services within complex or regulated environments.
