ENGINEERING KNOWLEDGE / PROCUREMENT
FROM REQUIREMENT
TO RFQ.
A practical structure for international industrial sourcing and project procurement enquiries.
Separate required from preferred
Mark mandatory specifications, acceptable ranges and optional preferences clearly so commercial sourcing does not blur the engineering requirement.
State quantities and units
Include line-item quantities and units of measure. For phased projects, indicate whether the quantity is firm, estimated or split across releases.
List inspection and documentation
Specify certificates, drawings, data books, inspection plans, third-party inspection or documentation formats needed with the supply.
Clarify quotation expectations
Provide requested currency, quotation validity expectations, Incoterm or delivery basis if defined, and any packaging or export documentation requirements.
Include destination and schedule
Share the final destination, required delivery date and any project milestone that affects the shipment. This helps suppliers assess lead time and logistics realistically.
