Most proposals open with a company history and bury the price on page six. This template does the opposite. It starts with a cover letter, restates the buyer's goals in their own words, then offers a solution, an approach with dates, three fixed-fee options, plain terms and a page to accept. A buying committee can approve it without another meeting.

The sample is a proposal from Umberfield Distribution to a fictional food producer, Brackenmoor Foods, for a £72,000 depot and route redesign. Replace the goals with phrases from your discovery call, swap in your phases and dates, enter your fees, mark the option you recommend, then check the totals add up.
