Bid budgets and financial proposals

Financial proposals that are clear, compliant and competitive.

Winning public contracts takes more than a good technical proposal. 2D Canada prepares the financial side of bids for federal government and international donor-funded work: budgets, pricing and the rules that come with public money.

Financial proposalchecklist
  • Format matches the funder's template
  • Every cost ties to the work plan
  • Eligible costs only, under the call's rules
  • Rates and effort are easy to check
  • Matches the technical proposal

The numbers can win or lose a bid.

Evaluators look for a price that is realistic, easy to follow and fully in line with the rules of the call. Mistakes in the financial proposal can disqualify an otherwise strong bid.

Questions

Common questions

Have you worked on winning bids?

Yes. Tudor has prepared the financial side of bids for federal government and international aid donors, and that work has helped win contracts.

Can you help on a tight deadline?

Often, yes. Get in touch as early as possible and share the call documents so the timeline can be confirmed.

Do you write the technical proposal too?

2D Canada focuses on the financial proposal and makes sure it lines up with your technical team's work.

Can you help after the contract is won?

Yes. Budget tracking, financial reporting to the funder and month-end processes for the project can all be set up.
