Procurement playbook
What moves the price
- Scope clarity: revision rounds and deliverable counts move flat bids more than rates do
- Materials and specification of the item
- Quantity and where it falls against a vendor's price breaks
- Finishing, customization, or add-on services
Check before signing
- Setup or one-time fees charged per unit or repeated on reorders
- A specification quietly changed from what you asked for
- Rush surcharges applied to a standard timeline
- Line items bundled into a single total so individual prices can't be compared
Negotiation levers
- Standardize the specification so vendors quote like-for-like
- Consolidate volume or designs to share fixed costs
- Offer schedule flexibility in exchange for a better rate
About empty crate storage & return, per crate pricing
Quoted as a project total. Scope definition is the whole game.
Why do two quotes for the same item differ so much?
Usually a specification or finishing difference, not the core work. Ask both vendors to quote the identical spec and the gap normally narrows.
