The COVID-19 pandemic has brought much uncertainty to the market and successful businesses are pivoting their offerings to grow their business. If your business is interested in entering into the federal government contracting market, we invite you to participate in MWBC’s free 2020 Federal Government Contracting Series brought to you by OST Global Solutions and Fedmine.us.

This workshop shows you how to outline a proposal. A great proposal outline doesn’t only make your proposal compliant, it also helps organize your writers and help them march in the same direction. The course will help you avoid: shifting and morphing outline, vague structures that cause writers to deliver unorganized information, creating more work on the back end, evaluator comments that the proposal was hard to follow or that they could not find needed information, and more.

This seminar will address what is an annotated outline and cover the outlining process. It will show you how to determine the order of the outline, what the evaluators want to see (and why), what to look for in a multilevel bid, how to organize sections and subsections, how to balance the order, how to use the compliance matrix with the outline (and why), how to prevent “boilerplating”, and when to use an annotated outline process versus storyboards.

This is session #4 in our four-part procurement series but can be taken as a stand-alone session.

*Intended audience: All workshops in this procurement series are designed for established businesses that are positioned to take on government work currently or in the next three-to-six months. If you haven’t started a business yet, or your company currently lacks the infrastructure to support a government contract win, we recommend that you do not sign up for this workshop.
