Buying or looking for a supplier?
- Product, equipment or material and its intended use.
- Known specifications: grade, model, dimensions or required certifications.
- Approximate quantity, delivery city and country, and required date.
- Your priority: better pricing, availability, quality or an alternative source.
- Target budget and currency, if available. A general range is enough to begin.

This is our comparison framework—not an offer or a completed assessment. The agreed project scope determines which items we investigate and document.
| Review item | What needs to be comparable |
|---|---|
| Product fit | Specification, quantity, quality requirements and permitted alternatives. |
| Supplier evidence | Legal identity, manufacturing or distribution role, capacity and relevant documentation. |
| Quotation terms | Currency, issue date, expiry, delivery term, payment schedule and exclusions. |
| Cost to destination | Goods, inspection, packing, transport, insurance, applicable duties/taxes and final delivery. Pending quotes and assumptions are identified. |
| Execution | Production and transit time, acceptance, warranty, responsibilities and unresolved requirements. |
CONFIDENTIALITY & ENGAGEMENT
Confidentiality before sensitive disclosure.
Keep the initial brief general. If detailed drawings, supplier identities, pricing records or business information need protection, request an appropriate confidentiality agreement before sharing them. We can also discuss your company’s proposed agreement.
Request a confidentiality agreementClear terms before agreed work begins.
After we understand the assignment, we define the scope, deliverables, responsibilities, fee payer, fee calculation, payment milestones and cancellation terms in writing. Any representation or introduction terms are addressed for the specific assignment. A confidentiality agreement alone does not set these commercial terms.
