Frequently Asked Questions

How long should a technical proposal be?

It depends on the RFP: many impose a maximum (40, 60, 80 or 100 pages). If there is no limit, the sweet spot is between 60 and 120 pages. More is counterproductive: it tires the panel and dilutes the arguments.

What font and format should it have?

If the RFP doesn't specify, the standard is Arial or Calibri 11pt, 1.15 line spacing, 1-inch margins, paginated index, header and footer. Nomos exports directly in this format.

How are past performance references cited?

Each reference should include client, scope, contract value, duration, completion date, and ideally a certificate of completion signed by the client. Nomos generates the listing and formatting.

Do value-added commitments have a cost?

Value-added items are voluntary commitments at no additional cost to the contracting authority. Examples: extending the warranty period, adding follow-up meetings, offering training. They add points without raising the price.

Can I use the same proposal for multiple RFPs?

Not directly. Each RFP has distinct criteria and the proposal must answer those specific criteria. But the company, capability, and team sections are reusable — Nomos repurposes them automatically.
