4 tips: Proposal Template Creation Best Practices

For Government Proposals

Proposal template creation best practices

When writing proposals for government contracts, it’s important to follow certain guidelines. Here’s a quick-tip guide to help you craft your next proposal. Did you know that the government rarely wants to hear about how you’d do every single little task listed in the statement of work? Check out the guide for more helpful tips!

1. Following instructions are critical

Before you start to create your proposal, take a look at the instructions first (Section L), then follow what it says. This will help you on the right path to making an efficient proposal.

2. Inform your outline by using Section M (Evaluation Criteria)

Make sure that all the keywords are included in your proposal. Not only focusing on how the proposal will look or the story but also on the specific keyphrases will allow your evaluator to fully evaluate your proposal with ease.

3. Detail with Section C (SOW, SOO, PWS)

Implement Section C in your proposal for all the detailed requirements. Explain your expertise and what you are going to do for the project. Also outline deliverables for the project goals.

(You will never outline by C unless the solicitation in the L sheet says to outline a section by statement of work)

4. Go with the government's flow

Make it short and sweet but on point. Keep in mind that you don’t need to tell all the details of the story but focus on the answer about what you can do and help them achieve their goals.
