Pembuatan Proposal Proyek

Project procurement
management processes
Project procurement management: Acquiring goods and services for a
project from outside the performing organization.
Processes include:
Planning purchases and acquisitions: Determining what to procure, when,
and how.
Planning contracting: Describing requirements for the products or services
desired from the procurement and identifying potential sources or sellers
(contractors, suppliers, or providers who provide goods and services to other
organizations).
Requesting seller responses: Obtaining information, quotes, bids, offers, or
proposals from sellers, as appropriate.
Selecting sellers: Choosing from among potential suppliers through a
process of evaluating potential sellers and negotiating the contract.
Administering the contract: Managing the relationship with the selected
seller.
Closing the contract: Completing and settling each contract, including
resolving any open items.

What is a proposal?
A proposal is a plan of action
for fulfilling a need.
Basically, it is a sales
document that responds to
the needs of someone else.
It is a written document
describing in detail the work
to be performed and
provides the
reader/evaluator adequate
information to make an
informed purchasing decision.

The Seven Deadly Sins of

Proposal Writing
Failure to focus on the client's business problems and
payoffsthe content sounds generic.
No persuasive structurethe proposal is an "information
dump."
No clear differentiation of this vendor compared to others.
Failure to offer a compelling value proposition.
Key points are buriedno impact, no highlighting.
Difficult to read because they're full of jargon, too long, or
too technical.
Credibility killersmisspellings, grammar and
punctuation errors, use of the wrong client's name,
inconsistent formats, and similar mistakes

So before we define what a

proposal is, let's make sure we
know what it's not:

It's not a price quote. If all you tell the decision maker is the amount he or
she has to pay, you've reduced what you're selling down to the level of a
commodity. You've said, in effect, "All products or services of this type are
basically the same. We have nothing unique to offer. Choose based on
cost." Unless you are always the lowest-priced vendor, that's not a strong
position to take.
It's not a bill of materials, project plan, or scope of work. In technical
and engineering environments, people sometimes take the attitude that if
they just explain all the details of the proposed solution very clearly and
accurately, the customer will buy. Actually, giving customers a detailed bill of
materials or project plan may have exactly the opposite effect. You've just
given them a shopping list so detailed they may decide to do the job without
your help. Ouch!
It's not the company history, either. Oddly enough, a sizable number of
the proposals we see start out that way. Why? From reading dozens and
dozens of these things, I can assure you most company histories are not
very interesting.
Here's the bottom line: What is a proposal? It's a sales document.

The Value of Your Proposals to

Your Clients
Compare vendors, offers, or prices so he
or she can make an informed decision
Clarify complex information
Make the buying process more "objective"
Slow down the sales process
Solicit creative ideas, become educated,
or get free consulting

The Value of Your Proposals to You

The obvious: helping you sell. The proposal's most important job is to help you sell something. (In
the nonprofit realm, it should help you obtain funding in support of your mission and objectives.) To go
a little further, though, a high-quality, carefully constructed proposal can help you:

Sell on value instead of price: Use your proposal to move the decision maker's focus away from price and
toward such measures of value as lower total cost of ownership, higher reliability, direct customer support,
documented technical superiority, or some other message that separates you from your competitors.
Compete successfully without having personal contact with every member of the decision team: You may
never have the opportunity to meet every member of the team in person. A good proposal can speak to each
member of the team, helping make your case.
Demonstrate your competence and professionalism: It's probably not fair and it's definitely not logical, but
almost everybody does it: We judge a vendor's ability to deliver goods or services from the quality of the proposal
they submit. Our conscious, rational mind tells us that spelling and grammar have nothing to do with the ability to
provide help desk support for our PC users, yet we find those misspellings and grammar mistakes raising doubt
and uncertainty in our mind.
Offer a bundled solution: The customer may ask you for a proposal for basic bookkeeping services. In your
proposal, though, you can add a brief description of your ability to provide tax preparation, too, as part of a total
solution. That will increase the size of the deal, it may differentiate you from other bookkeepers who submit a
proposal, or it may just make the customer aware that you also do taxes. All of these are good things.
Sell the "smarter" buyer: Smart buyers want to gain as much as possible while spending as little as possible. If
you don't show them what they gain by choosing your recommendations, they will inevitably focus on the other half
of the equation: spending very little.
Sell a complex, technical product to nontechnical buyers: Speaking the buyer's language is an important part
of winning his or her trust. A flexible proposal process can help you communicate effectively even if the customer
lacks in-depth knowledge of what you're offering.

The proposal as a marketing tool. Think about your company's image. What do your clients think of
you? What do prospects who have never worked with you assume about you?
Influencing clients. Good account management requires you to think about the future of your business
relationships, not merely the immediate opportunity. Reacting to a customer's problems or needs when
the customer brings them up is all right, but it's not nearly as effective as working with the customer
collaboratively to develop a business direction.

Why use a Proposal?

A good RFP will help the evaluator
collect critical data to streamline the
evaluation process and compare
only the qualified bidders.
The RFP outline format is design to
help the evaluator quickly compare
proposal.
Most proposal writers spend a huge
amount of time writing the RFP.
They expect you to read it and
follow it carefully.

Skenario Perolehan Proyek

PL:
Penunjukan Langsung oleh Client
(pemberi kerja).
Melalui Tender.

Penunjukan Langsung (di

Indonesia), biasa dgn Cara:
Konsultan (tim pengembang) melakukan
survei di perusahaan Client (wawancara,
mengumpulkan dokumen, observasi sistem
dan prosedur kerja).
Konsultan menyusun proposal (bisa dengan
berkonsultasi dengan Client).
Negosiasi antara Konsultan dan Client.
Penanda-tanganan dokumen kontrak oleh
Konsultan dan Client.

Proposal pada Penunjukan

Langsung:
Singkat tapi jelas (minimal).
Kisi-kisi materi disusun atas kesepakatan
Client Konsultan.
Bisa hanya terdiri dari satu dokumen, isi
utama: spesifikasi teknis sistem / PL yang
akan dibangun, rencana kerja, anggaran
yang diusulkan (atau hanya nilai total
proyek yang diminta).

Mekanisme Melalui Tender

Proyek:
Client menyusun TOR (KAK).
Pengumuman lelang / tender proyek melalui
media publikasi atau pengiriman undangan
tender kpd Konsultan2 yang dipilih.
Pendaftaran peserta tender (= Konsultan).
Pemasukan proposal tender oleh peserta.
Penilaian dan seleksi proposal pemenang.
Pengumuman pemenang.
Penanda-tanganan dok kontrak dan penerbitan
SPK (Surat Perintah Kerja) oleh Client.

Dilema Konsultan:
Setelah membaca TOR/KAK:
To BID or NOT bid (ikut
tender / tidak)?

Isu Utama to BID or NOT bid:

Biaya yang dikeluarkan untuk penyusunan
proposal (untuk gaji tim penyusun, survei
awal, peralatan): ~ 10% dari nilai proyek.
Waktu penyusunan proposal: dapat
dipenuhi?
Mampu melaksanakan TOR atau tidak?
(Pertimbangan: keahlian personil yang ada,
peralatan yang dimiliki Konsultan, waktu
yang ditetapkan pada TOR.)

Request for proposals (RFP)

Negotiated bid, such as a request for
proposals (RFP) or request for quote
(RFQ).
Request for Proposals (RFP) is
the type of contracting commonly
used when the government is not
sure what is required and they are
looking for your input on ways you
plan to meet their objectives.
First and foremost, respond to an
RFP in exact accordance with the
requirements outlined in the RFP.
Requests for Quote (RFQ) is the
method often used to solicit price or
market information. A quote
submitted does not constitute an
offer and is not the government
form of a binding contract.

Sample Proposal Outline

When a format is not provided.
Executive Summary: a short statement of your case and
summary of the entire proposal; typically 1 to 2 pages.
Statement of Need: why this project is necessary; 1 to 3
pages
Project Description: nuts and bolts of how the project will
be implemented; 2 to 5 pages
Bid Amount/Budget: financial description of the project
plus explanatory notes; 1 to 2 pages
Organization Information: history and structure of the
company; its primary activities, clientele, and services; 1 to
2 pages
Conclusion: summary of the proposal's main points; onepage.

The Executive Summary

The first page of the proposal is the most
important
section of the entire document. Here you will
provide the reader with a snapshot of what is to
follow. It summarizes all of the key information and
is a sales document designed to convince the
reader that this proposal should be considered.
Be certain to include:
Problem: A brief statement of the problem or need
your company has recognized and is prepared to
address (one or two paragraphs);
Solution: A short description of the project,
including what will take place and the benefits,
how it will operate, how long it will take, and how it
will be staffed (one or two paragraphs);
The organization and its expertise: a brief
statement of the name, history, purpose, and
activities of your company, emphasizing its
capacity to carry out this proposal (one
paragraph).

The Statement of Need

Write your proposal like a sales
documents.
The statement of need will enable the
evaluator to learn more about the
issues and to understand the problem
that the project will remedy.
It presents the facts and evidence that
support the need for the project and
establishes that your company
understands the problems and
therefore can reasonably address them.
You want the need section to be logical,
yet persuasive. Like a good debater,
you must assemble all the arguments.
Then present them in a logical
sequence that will readily convince the
reader of their importance. As you
marshal your arguments, consider the
following points.

The Statement of Need

Demonstrate complete understanding
of the stated requirement or problem.
Be specific and direct, being vague
only demonstrates that you do not
understand the requirements and will
create questions in the mind of the
evaluator.
Be sure the data you present are
accurate. There is nothing more
embarrassing than to find out your
information is out of date or incorrect.
Decide which facts or statistics best
support the project and substantiate
your promises with facts and details.
Information that does not relate to the
project you are presenting will cause
the reader to question the entire
proposal.

The Project Description

Objectives are the

measurable outcomes
of the project.
This section of your
proposal should have four
subsections:
Objectives,
Methods,
Staffing/administration,
and
Evaluation.
Together, objectives and
methods will dictate your
staffing and administrative
requirements.

The Project Description

Methods
This means that you demonstrate your
ability to solve or meet the challenge.
The methods section describes the
specific activities that will take place to
achieve the objectives. It might be
helpful to divide your discussion of
methods into the following:
what, how, when, and why.
Your proposal should clearly
communicate your ability to
successfully perform the contract.
Documentation of successful fulfillment
of other contracts will help prove your
point.

The Project Description

How: This is the detailed
description of what will occur
from the time the project
begins until it is completed.
Your methods should match the
previously stated objectives.
When: The methods section
should present the order and
timing for the tasks. It might
make sense to provide a
timetable so that the reader
does not have to map out the
sequencing on their own.
The timetable tells the reader
"when" and provides another
summary of the project that
supports the rest of the
methods section.

The Project Description

Why: You may need to defend your
chosen methods, especially if they
are a new approach. Why will the
planned work lead to the outcomes
you anticipate?
You can answer this question in a
number of ways, including using the
valuation of an expert and
examples of another projects that
worked.
The methods section helps the
reader to visualize the
implementation of the project. It
should convince the reader that
your company knows what it is
doing, thereby again establishing
credibility.

The Project Description

Staffing/Administration
In describing the methods, you will
have mentioned staffing for the
project. You now need to devote a
few sentences to discussing the
number of staff, their qualifications,
and specific assignments.
Details about individual staff
members involved in the project can
be included either as part of this
section or in the appendix,
depending on the length and
importance of this information
How will you free up the time of an
already fully deployed individual?

Pricing the project

As you prepare to assemble the pricing, go
back through the proposal narrative and
make a list of all personnel and contractors
related to the operation of the project.
Be sure that you list not only new costs to
complete the project but also any ongoing
expenses for items that will be allocated to
the project.
Verify or get the relevant costs from the
person in your agency who is responsible
for keeping the books.
You may need to estimate the proportions
of your companys ongoing expenses that
should be charged to the project and any
new costs, such as salaries for project
personnel not yet hired. Put the costs you
have identified next to each item on your
list.

Keeping records
Your list of pricing items and the calculations
you have done to arrive at a dollar figure for
each item should be summarized on
worksheets.
You should keep these to remind yourself
how the numbers were developed.
These worksheets can be useful as you
continue to develop the proposal and discuss
it with the evaluator; they are also a valuable
tool for monitoring the project once it is
under way and for reporting after completion.
Some proposals require you to provide
adequate management and cost information.
In this case, you need to demonstrate your
ability to account for all of the costs involved
in performing the contract.

Developing Your Conclusion

Every proposal should have a
concluding paragraph or two.
This is a good place to call
attention to the future, after
the project is completed.
If appropriate, you should
outline some of the follow-up
activities that might be
undertaken.
This section is also the place to
make a final appeal for your
companys consideration.
Briefly summarize what your
company wants to do and why
it is important.
