About this document
A bid proposal sets out what a business will do for a client, what is and is not included, the price, assumptions, payment, programme and how long the offer stays open. If the client signs, the proposal becomes their agreement unless a fuller contract is asked for.
This blank form is for trades and project-based businesses. Complete it by hand and sign it, then the client signs to accept.

Questions
About the bid proposal template
The form says that if the client signs, both intend it to be their agreement for the work. Whether that is enough for a given project is a question for a lawyer.
