To receive the best and relevant prices for your tender, take into consideration the following:
When Creating the L2Q Bill Request:
- Ensure that the Vendors / Subcontractors are given enough time to price the RFQ, too short a lead time and they will be unable to submit a price.
- Provide a start date, as this will determine whether their schedule will allow them to price.
- Provide an accurate location (physical address or GPS co-ordinates) where the work will take place.
- Provide as much information as possible, i.e., drawings or scope of works, etc.
When Sending out the RFQ’s:
- Read the description of the company before selecting, as some companies might only do a specific part of a trade and it might not be the work that needs to be priced.
- Select the companies that service the applicable region and send them to a select list.
- Only send to one contact in the same company, as selecting multiple contacts in the same company may cause confusion.
After RFQ’s have been sent:
- Respond to queries that may be sent to you from the Vendors / Subcontractors.
By following the steps above, you should receive a spread of prices to assist in compiling your tender, and as always, the L2Q Department is available for assistance and will assist in following up on prices still required.
