PLAN / BUYING DECISIONS
Quotation & order scope.
Separate product specifications, quantity assumptions and commercial scope before comparing offers. These worksheets organise questions; prices and order terms remain project specific.
Discuss bulk & custom production- Use this when
- You need an initial quote, or several offers do not appear to cover the same work.
- Work towards
- A comparable quote request with quantities, variants and exclusions made explicit.
