Profile - used by agents - should be a couple of sentences max and basically give "I'm an X" introduction.
Experience - this needs to be second.. not behind education.
Education/Professional Certifications
References & Hobbies - well actually they're ignored usually. Better to say you're engaged in X competition if you're into your hobbies.
Never write you're an X or a Y - it's your own perspective.
Achievements, your focus in fulfilling the role.
CVs that have a job specification in the section aren't interesting.. that's supposedly what you were todo.. what did you do to drive the business forward?
Remember that HR/Agents are very used to reading through the crap and the nicety. How is the role suited to the one that you're applying for - showing the skills in use and delivering using those skills will be more compelling.
Harsh but just my thinking.
In a large software house, at 3 years you'd be on the boundary between developer and a more senior developer/team lead. At 5 years people start thinking of you as project manager etc. I would be tempted to look in that perspective and write in terms of responsibility and driving the company's offerings forward.
I think the most important point - tenders, project plans etc are aspects that you deliver at the last part of the role. I would focus on that - it demonstrates you capability in a more senior context - if you can put numbers to those tenders landed, and the budgets of the project management even better.
The point I'm making is that your writing from where you were, not researching the role and communicating at that level. Even the B&Q roles etc can be expressed in a light that match this way of thinking. If not then simply list them with basic information. Things over 7 years are a little less important.

This style isn't for everyone but it demonstrated
what I did rather than what the role had verbatim on the specification. In the role above it was canned before it showed it's true potential in terms of numbers
However the idea is there.
