The formal approval process confirming that the commercial aspects of a bid, proposal, or tender have been reviewed and authorised by the appropriate commercial authority before submission. Commercial sign-off typically covers pricing, contractual terms, assumptions, risks, liabilities, compliance with organisational policies, and any commercial commitments being offered to the customer. It provides assurance that the organisation understands and accepts the financial, contractual, and commercial implications of the submission before it is submitted. Effective commercial sign-off supports sound governance, risk management, pricing integrity, and informed decision-making throughout the bid process.
