ji20874 Posted April 8, 2019 Report Share Posted April 8, 2019 A proposal is a sales pitch to win a contract. Only very rarely will it make sense to wholly incorporate a proposal into a contract. However, an offeror’s performance, delivery, quality, and outcome promises should be incorporated into the resulting contract, especially when those promises were evaluated favorably and relied on in the selection process.

Again I say, it depends upon what you are contracting for. I don’t think “rarely” is the appropriate general answer. Likely “rarely” for services.

ji20874 Posted April 9, 2019 Report Share Posted April 9, 2019 We disagree. I think "rarely" is appropriate as a general answer, as a default or starting position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, so I reread your post. I agree with your second paragraph and understand what you mean in paragraph one. I think we are on the same page.
