Document background
The SOW Proposal is a fundamental business document used when a service provider wishes to formally propose services or project work to a potential client in Switzerland. It serves as a precursor to a final Statement of Work and must comply with Swiss legal requirements, particularly the Swiss Code of Obligations. This document type is essential for clearly defining the scope, deliverables, timeline, and commercial aspects of proposed services while maintaining alignment with Swiss business practices and legal frameworks. The SOW Proposal should be detailed enough to form the basis of subsequent negotiations and contractual agreements, yet flexible enough to accommodate reasonable modifications during the negotiation phase. It is particularly important in complex service arrangements where clear delineation of responsibilities, deliverables, and commercial terms is crucial for successful project execution.
