Comprehensive Content, Practical Guidance

Solicitations, Bids, Proposals and Source Selection: Building a Winning Contract takes a simple yet powerful process approach to explain in full detail the buying and selling life-cycle used in both the public and private sectors. Authored by industry leaders Gregory A. Garrett and Gail A. Parrott, this authoritative resource provides proven strategies for creating successful solicitations, bids, proposals and contracts.

The first chapter guides readers through the entire buying and selling life-cycle with subsequent chapters providing detailed process inputs, tools and techniques as well as desired outputs for the three phases and seven key steps for buyers and sellers to attain successful results. Featured topics include:

  • Procurement planning, solicitation planning and preparation;
  • Pre-sales activities and bid/no bid decisions;
  • Bid proposal development and reviews/approvals;
  • Source selection planning and evaluation;
  • Contract negotiation and formation; and
  • Contract administration and closeout.

Individual chapters are also dedicated to discussing proven best practices for solicitations, bids, proposals and contracts in the U.S. Federal Government, U.S. Commercial and Multi-National/Global markets.

Solicitations, Bids, Proposals and Source Selection: Building a Winning Contract includes numerous case studies; interviews with recognized buyers and sellers from both the U.S Government and industry; and dozens of tips and best practices. Readers will find topics on best practices to develop quality solicitations; a comprehensive business case analysis and risk assessment; best-in-class bids and proposals; and methods to master the art of the oral presentation of proposals.
