COMMERCIAL & TECHNICAL EVALUATION
How to Compare Tubular Quotations
The lowest headline price is not necessarily the lowest comparable offer. Normalize compliance, exceptions, evidence, quantity, delivery and commercial terms first.
Build a compliance matrix
Compare each offer against the same line items and clauses.
- Standard, edition and grade
- Dimensions and connections
- Testing and documentation
- Explicit deviations and exclusions
Normalize the supply scope
Identify costs or responsibilities omitted from the quoted total.
- Couplings and accessories
- Inspection and testing
- Packing and inland transport
- Freight, insurance and duties
Evaluate execution risk
Lead time should be supported by a route, milestones and evidence plan.
- Manufacturing route
- Material availability
- Inspection schedule
- Document and shipment release
