Responding to a competing proposal
A competing proposal is an opportunity to clarify differences that may not be visible in the headline price.
A practical approach
Compare the documented scope, assumptions, exclusions and support responsibilities. State when you do not have enough information to make a fair comparison. Avoid claims about another company’s motives or capabilities that you cannot verify. Help the customer identify the questions they should ask both providers.
Put it into practice
- Compare documented scope
- State information gaps
- Avoid unsupported competitor claims
General workflow guidance. Confirm current responsibilities, availability and terms with the appropriate team. This article is not a project-specific technical assessment or a promise of compensation.
