Proposal production for government contractors

Don't let bad formatting close the door before you've been seen.

Paged Proper builds stable Microsoft Word templates before the RFP drops, then turns content-stable drafts into polished proposal volumes, checked against the solicitation's instructions and evaluation criteria that affect the document.

The risk nobody budgets for

Weeks of strong work can be undone in the last 48 hours.

Length

Pages that go unread

Content past the limit may never reach an evaluator, including the part that won the argument.

Format

Missed instructions

Font size, margins, and file rules in Section L are easy to miss and costly to get wrong.

Stability

Files that break at 11 p.m.

Inherited templates fall apart when five authors paste into them at once.

Polish

Looking smaller than you are

Inconsistent layouts make a capable team read like a risky one.

Two services, one timeline

Protection at both ends of the bid.
