Bid Preparation

BID PREPARATION TO GAIN GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS

Helping Small and Mid-Sized Businesses Secure Government Contracts

No matter what size your business is currently, you can compete for government contracts. The entry point for participation in the government bid process is an RFP (request for proposals), an RFQ (request for quote), or possibly an RFI (request for information, which may precede an RFP).

Although the competitive bidding process is time consuming, the benefits of competitive bidding are many.

  • The bid process allows for a clear definition of the product or service, and the terms of the contract.
  • The risks and benefits of the proposing business partnership can be identified prior to
    entering a contract.

Every unit of government that buys goods and services is obliged to solicit bids in the great majority of cases. By preparing a thorough, accurate, and cost-conscious response to a bid request, your company increases the likelihood it will best the competition for a government contract.

The Culture of Government

Understanding the culture, values and language of government agencies can be critical to preparing a successful proposal / bid. Companies with little or no experience with government contracts would do well to work with a business consultant who understands government contracting.
