Document background
The SOW Proposal is a critical business document used in the Dutch market when a service provider wishes to formally propose services to a potential client. This document type serves as a comprehensive commercial and technical proposal that can later be converted into a binding contract. The SOW Proposal must comply with Dutch law, particularly the Dutch Civil Code (Burgerlijk Wetboek) and relevant EU regulations, while addressing specific client requirements and project parameters. It typically includes detailed information about proposed services, deliverables, timelines, resource allocation, pricing, and terms and conditions. The document is particularly important in complex service arrangements where clarity of scope, deliverables, and commercial terms is essential. It forms part of the pre-contractual documentation and can be referenced in subsequent agreements if the proposal is accepted.
