The results of the data analysis indicate that, based on the responses of respondents, internal variables meet the criteria for the high category, external variables meet the requirements for the high category, and the price quotation strategy variable meets the criteria for the medium category. The results also indicate that the internal variable (X1) significantly impacts the pricing strategy for the Government project planning consulting services (Y). In contrast, the external variable (X1) has a significant impact on the bidding strategy for the Government project planning consulting services (Y).
