Document background
A Proposal For Design Services is a formal document used in the Nigerian market when a design professional or firm wishes to offer their services to a potential client. The document serves as both a commercial and technical proposal, outlining the scope of design services, methodology, deliverables, timelines, and associated costs. It must comply with Nigerian contract law, including the Contract Act of Nigeria and relevant professional regulations such as the Architects Registration Council of Nigeria (ARCON) Act where applicable. This type of proposal is typically used at the initial stages of a potential project engagement, before the formation of a formal contract, and can cover various design disciplines from architectural and engineering design to interior and industrial design services. The document should be structured to protect both parties' interests while clearly communicating the value proposition and terms of service.
