RFQ and Quotation Comparison

RFQ and Quotation Comparison

A useful quotation comparison keeps the project scope identical across suppliers. Record the exact product and revision, included items, packaging, exclusions, assumptions, commercial terms, evidence supplied, quotation date, and unresolved questions.

Do not rank suppliers by a headline price when scope differs. Use the official Sunremo RFQ Template and Supplier Evaluation Sheet as reference tools, then confirm final terms in the project documents.

RFQ comparison fields

Field | Why it matters | Record

Product scope | Keeps supplier quotations comparable | Model, size, configuration, revision, and included parts

Commercial scope | Prevents hidden exclusions | Inclusions, exclusions, assumptions, payment, and delivery responsibility

Evidence status | Separates confirmed facts from open questions | Documents supplied, date, revision, and missing items

Decision record | Makes the shortlist auditable | Comparison notes, unresolved questions, and approval owner

Use one consistent RFQ brief for every supplier and compare like-for-like scope before evaluating price.
