What would be the correct format to write a bid or proposal?:confused:

[Clough]

I don't know that there is any one "correct" way. I do think that it is important that it be neat, organized, legible and understandable. In short, look very professional.

I like to use Microsoft Excel spreadsheets for my bid proposals, estimates and billing sheets. Depending on the work that is to be done, my format may vary some. I do interior and exterior painting, furniture refinishing, handyman work and piano tuning/repair/refinishing. They all might require slightly different formats.

What is the business that you are doing, please? It would help to know that in order to give you a better answer.

Good advice Clough, I would only add that you might want to also include disclaimers to protect yourself.

Check the bid - a lot have specific directions on how to submit and how the documentation is supposed to be prepared. If there's a website associated with the bid or phone number of a contact person check there as well. Otherwise, as Clough said, keep it professional.
