Equipment-RFP.pdf
18. • RFQ - REQUEST FOR QUOTATION
• A request for quotation (RfQ) is a business process in which a company or
public entity requests a quote from a supplier for the purchase of specific
products or services. RfQ generally means the same thing as Call for bids
(CfB) and Invitation for bid (IfB).
• A request for a quote (RFQ) is a business process in which a business solicits
quotes from select suppliers and contractors for a specific task or project.
• An RFQ can be sent alone or in tandem with a request for proposal (RFP).
• A business generally sends an RFQ when the quantity for a standard
product is known and needs are ongoing.
• RFQs do not generate unsolicited bids and quotes as businesses target
specific vendors and contractors.
• An RfQ typically involves more than the price per item. Information like
payment terms, quality level per item or contract length may be requested
during the bidding process.
• An RfQ typically involves more than the price per item. Information like
payment terms, quality level per item or contract length may be requested
during the bidding process.
19. • To receive correct quotes, RfQs often include the specifications of the items/services
to make sure all the suppliers are bidding on the same item/service. Logically, the
more detailed the specifications, the more accurate the quote will be and comparable
to the other suppliers. Another reason for being detailed in sending out an RfQ is
that the specifications could be used as legal binding documentation for the suppliers.
• After the RfQ process, professional procurement organizations have to compare the
quotations, and try to get the best price for the job (by negotiations, or by
conducting an e-auction (a reverse auction or a ticker auction). Aim is to determine
the fair market value of the goods or services and thus generate savings for the
company.
• RfQs are best suited to products and services that are as standardized and as
commoditized as possible, as this makes each supplier's quote comparable. In
practice, many businesses use an RfQ where an RfT or RfI would be more
appropriate.
• An RfQ allows different contractors to provide a quotation, among which the best
will be selected. It also makes the potential for competitive bidding a lot higher, since
the suppliers could be quite certain that they are not the only ones bidding for the
products.
20. TECHNICAL AND FINANCIAL BIDDING
• In a tender offer, the TECHNICAL BID talks about how you understand the
delivering, how you are going to deliver it, by what resources and with which
qualifications, to which timeline and with which KPIs and they has better include all
the ones expected in the tender and in the format expected, if given. Your
expectations from what the client or other contractees of the client need to have put
in place in order for you to do the job also go there.
• The FINANCIAL BID is often in a completely separate envelope and contains the
price you want, the timing of payment, and anything else like the bank account it
should be paid on.
• You should not mention fees at all in the technical bid as these are often assessed
separately so as to ensure best value for money not just lowest price.
• Technical bids can be ten or twenty times fatter than the financial bid.
21. FOR BETTER UNDERSTNDING -
• Technical bid speaks of every thing except money. It covers details specs of product ,
testing, gurantee / warranty, payment terms, penalty, advance, bank guarded etc
etc. once technical bids are evaluated and successful once selected, price bids are
opened for only technically accepted offers for final processing.
• The financial bid is often in a completely separate envelope and contains the price
you want, the timing of payment, and anything else like the bank account it should
be paid on.
• Bid and offer are quotes on a single type of financial asset, just that bidders want to
buy the asset at one price while sellers want to sell the same type of asset for a
different price.
• For example with foreign currency- a British bank may buy 1 US dollar (bid for
dollars) for say 1 pound then sell (offer to sell) that same US$1 for say 1.03 pounds
so that the bank makes a net profit.
22. CONCLUSION
• The role of procurement and supply chain management will help
businesses maximize profits. This is done by balancing cost reduction,
supplier quality, assurance of supply and increasingly unlocking supplier
innovation.
• As the manufacturing and supply chain environment grows more
complex, procurement and supply chain management functions are
also growing more strategic in manufacturing companies that need to
find new ways to optimize the supply chain.
• Procurement also helps manage compliance and reduce overall supply
chain risk.
• Procurement helps organizations become “the customer of choice” to
suppliers, which helps manufacturers drive innovation and bring
products to masrket faster— and with higher margins.
23. • The smooth functioning of the production department depends upon a large extent on the right
type of materials purchased at right time at right quality and at right cost.
• The right cost of materials leads to good saving. It is possible through efficient buying.
• The purchase manager must be technically skilled, innovative, intelligent, vigilant and efficient
inbargaining.
• Heavy competition has generated the importance of efficient purchasing.
• Forany industrial project, the purchasing is main function that contributes in the timely
execution and delivery.
• The corporate policy indicates the guidance map for purchasing. Itincludes the purchasing
strategies, plans, programmes and goals.
• The purchasing department must have good coordination with other departments like finance,
engineering,
production, quality department, etc.
• The purchasing department is responsible for avoiding any type of over-inventory or under-
inventory. The purchasing department helps in the clearance of all the bills of external parties
like suppliers, etc. Every organisation must adopt scientific and analytical way of identifying the
need and type of materials, right supplier and smooth flow of materials.
