A request suppliers can actually price

A quotation request is lighter than a tender and heavier than a phone call. It is the right instrument for most of what a site buys.

Requirement → quotation → order → receipt

Both sides of the record

One process, role-relevant actions

Each party sees the context they need without exposing confidential material or unusable controls.

01 · For buyers

Start with a requirement suppliers can price

Define items, quantities, units, specifications, delivery or hire needs, and who may respond.

  • Search catalogues or publish an RFQ
  • Compare quotations line by line
  • Track dispatch, receipt and exceptions

02 · For suppliers & providers

Respond without guessing what the buyer needs

Price exact or permitted alternative offers with lead time, availability, terms and supporting documents.

  • One inbox for relevant requests
  • Revise before the close
  • Won quotation becomes a working order

Operational capability

The lifecycle, not just the listing

The public page explains what the Phase 1 product actually carries once a user enters the platform.

01

Supplier discovery

Search by category, region, service area, delivery capability and reviewed status.

02

Products & equipment

Structured specifications, units, rates, availability and operator or mobilization terms.

03

Quotation workspace

Item pricing, alternatives, taxes, lead time, deviations and attachments remain explicit.

04

Side-by-side comparison

Buyers compare lines and terms instead of relying on one headline total.

05

Fulfilment evidence

Dispatch, goods receipt, equipment usage, returns and reconciliation support completion.

06

Performance history

Completed orders can create scored performance with the number of assessed orders shown.

Trust boundary

Public does not mean exposed

Only RFQs deliberately published by their buyer appear publicly. Invited-only requests and every supplier quotation remain private.
