Proposal Management

<p>Proposal Management is the discipline exercised by Providers in developing business proposals through which they hope to win funding or contracts from Buyers.</p>

<p>There is a well developed body of good practices which emphasise the importance of:</p>

<ul>

<li>Demonstrating an understanding of the Issues the Buyer faces and the Goals they seek to achieve</li>

<li>Emphasising the <strong>Benefits</strong> the buyer will receive as opposed to the Features that the seller offers,</li>

<li>Demonstrating superior <strong>Value</strong> as compared to the alternatives,</li>

<li>Providing <strong>proofs</strong> and substantiation that the offered solution is fit for purpose and that the Provider is capable of delivering it.</li>

</ul>
