Of course it is cost that is important because format may be common for all. Depending on the project you should make a proper market research and know the demand and profit that you will be making by that cost. Should not blindly quote ???

PRESENTATION OR FORMAT MAY IMPRESS THE PERSON BUT WHAT IS MORE IMPORTANT IS THE RUPEE,ANNA,PAISE WHICH COULD BE SAVED FROM THE LOWEST QUOTATION,UNLESS AND UNTIL THE EXECUTION  CAPABILITIES OF THE PERSON QUOTING THE SAME IS NOT WORTH.

In order to be successful in a bid, the firm should first qualify technically (technical bid), after that financial bid and next the way they put their final presentations to the Clients to sustain confidence from the bidders. In private sector or in PPP model, its not necessary that L1 will get the job, but with the best negotiation skills supported by logical notes will make things happen.

Mostly in India costing emerges as the single largest issue for rejection of proposals. This is because while some clients are operating with a fixed budget (often unrealistic), most are looking for the cheapest way to do things!

Yes,

costing should be cost effective thats an cmmon expectation by every client ,  for any quotation  format, costing is very impt.  it will give more impactful result when you submit  your quotation with " Satisfactry goal achiving objective demanded by client.

Yes the costing is the main factor. All the variables and fixed cost is to be taken into consideration including the cost of market analysis. This includes the profit also.

The other things such as formats and other things remain the same.

I would say costing is what the client makes no shows. So a analysis has to be done in terms of the commercials. A bad commercial(pricing/service charge) would lead to the client to look out for another vendor. What do say guys?

In arriving the cost ,the design of a format plays very important part. It helps you smooth over the error in costing and guides to submit reasonable quotation.

A single sitting with a client will reveal his budget and expectations, then all is left to the way the proposal is placed (polished!! & illusive!!) . Proper Format will always lead to effective costing.
