How to Create a Bid Proposal in Google Docs

Some service providers fear to create bid proposals because they do not know the needed elements. In order to get rid of this unnecessary fear, here are the elements and tips that can help in drafting a winning bid proposal. 

1. Understand the Need of the Company 

In order to win the trust of prospective clients, they need to know that your company fully understands their needs. The bid proposal can start with a brief summary reiterating their needs and an assurance that your services and offerings can mitigate or eventually solve their problems. 

2. Clearly Define Your Scope of Work

After introducing the services that you will offer, make sure to set the proper parameters. In the construction industry, bid proposals are not something new; it is more of an everyday occurrence for contractors. In these circumstances, clearly state the limits of your services. Indicate if you will cover electrical services, commercial landscaping, or interior designs. These details will also set the expectations of the client. 

3. Include a Projected Timeline

The next element to introduce in the bid proposal is the projected timeline of all the tasks. The client would want to know the efficiency of your services. It measures how much you can do in a specific period.

4. Indicate the Estimated Budget

The last and most relevant data necessary in winning a project bidding is the transparent breakdown of the estimated budget. Money is always an issue in pushing through projects. As you create the estimate, keep in mind that there may be clients who will not understand shortcut terms and jargon, so use layman's terms.
