SayPro Collaborate with clients and internal teams to gather the necessary information for proposals

Detailed Responsibilities:

1. Client Engagement and Requirements Gathering

• Act as the primary liaison between SayPro’s proposal writing team and external clients to understand specific procurement needs, project goals, and bid expectations.
• Facilitate kickoff meetings, briefings, and interviews with client representatives to clarify proposal scope, technical deliverables, timelines, and mandatory documentation.
• Translate client input into actionable writing briefs by aligning it with existing service models outlined in the SayPro Monthly January SCMR-1.

2. Internal Coordination with SayPro Teams

• Collaborate with internal subject matter experts (SMEs), service delivery managers, finance, legal, and compliance officers to obtain accurate, up-to-date, and relevant proposal inputs.
• Coordinate with project management and operations teams to validate resource availability, delivery timelines, and previous project performance data.
• Ensure all internal contributions align with the templates and content standards established in the SayPro Quarterly Bid and Tender Writing Services manual.

3. Content Sourcing from SCMR-1 Repository

• Access and navigate the SayPro Monthly January SCMR-1 documentation to extract essential components such as:
  • Standard service descriptions
  • Project case studies
  • Team profiles and CVs
  • Work methodology and implementation plans
  • Pricing frameworks and financial models
• Customize and update these components to fit specific client requests and tender criteria while maintaining SayPro’s corporate voice and formatting guidelines.

4. Information Validation and Gap Identification

• Identify information gaps between client needs and available internal data or SCMR-1 templates, and proactively coordinate follow-up engagements to fill them.
• Ensure that all proposal sections are supported by verified data, credentials, and references to past performance when applicable.
• Use the SCMR-1 as a quality benchmark to cross-check technical compliance and alignment with sector best practices.

5. Collaboration-Driven Proposal Assembly

• Compile all gathered materials into a cohesive, logically structured proposal that clearly reflects both client objectives and SayPro’s service capabilities.
• Coordinate feedback loops between clients, SMEs, and compliance reviewers to refine content before submission.
• Manage version control and documentation of all draft iterations using SCMR-1-aligned naming conventions and tracking tools.

6. Documentation and Process Improvement

• Document lessons learned from each collaboration to enhance future tender development processes and improve the utility of the SCMR-1 repository.
• Contribute to quarterly updates of SayPro’s bid-writing knowledge base by suggesting new templates, sector-specific content, or formatting improvements based on client interactions.
