A Veteran-Owned Small Business
Cost Volume Package
Many smaller businesses and proposals can best benefit from well-timed, shorter-duration support by professional consultants. Typically, you need help at the planning and review stages of a proposal. Having consultants available for at these points helps your team to get advice when it is most critical and avoids the expense of engaging consultants full time.
n8 has packaged these efforts into a single bundle:
Cost Planning
We start by helping you evaluate the RFP to determine the requirements for pricing and cost estimation. We advise you on how to construct an appropriate work breakdown structure, compliance matrix and cost volume outline. These artifacts help you organize the proposal response and ensure that you are compliant with all RFP requirements. We follow this with advice on staffing requirements and writing assignments for the volume. Finally, we support your official kickoff of the effort in which you will gather the team, make the assignments and begin the process of monitoring the efforts.
Compliance Reviews
Compliance Reviews are intended to ensure the proposal meets the requirements as set forth in the RFP and is consistent with your proposal themes and win strategies as defined by your capture team. As part of this offering, we will perform a compliance review of the cost volume and other proposal artifacts.
You will receive detailed markups and notes for the reviewed artifacts including:
- any problems, errors or omissions connected with the solicitation requirements
- strengths of the proposal weaknesses and resolutions to them
- assess the persuasiveness of the proposal
- and recommendations for corrective actions.
Customer Simulation Reviews
Customer Simulation Reviews are intended to evaluate a proposal in the same way as the customer using their evaluation criteria and grading system. As part of this offering, we will perform a customer review of the cost volume and other proposal artifacts.
You will receive detailed markups and notes for the reviewed artifacts including:
- any problems, errors or omissions connected with the solicitation requirements
- strengths of the proposal weaknesses and resolutions to them
- assess and score how the proposal stacks up against the evaluation criteria
- and recommendations for corrective actions.
