Example RFQ for an EPC Industrial Procurement Package
This is a sample, anonymised request used for illustration. It does not describe a real client or a completed transaction. Any supplier introduction, pricing, timeline or financing discussion is typical rather than guaranteed and remains subject to partner review.
An EPC package RFQ is quotable once battery limits, interface responsibilities, documentation deliverables, schedule milestones and liquidated-damage expectations are stated alongside the technical scope.
Buyer scenario
An EPC contractor is preparing a bid and needs comparable equipment offers for a defined package, with clear interfaces to civil and electrical works and documentation aligned to the client's specification.
Required project details
- Package scope with explicit battery limits and exclusions.
- Interface list: civil, electrical, mechanical and control responsibilities.
- Technical specification or datasheets, including applicable standards.
- Documentation deliverables and review cycles.
- Schedule milestones, including drawing submission, FAT, shipment and site delivery.
- Commercial terms: payment milestones, warranty, performance guarantees and liquidated damages.
- Inspection and test plan expectations, including third-party involvement.
- Bid deadline and clarification route.
Key feasibility questions
- Are the client's specifications final, or should suppliers price a technical clarification allowance?
- Is FAT required, and who attends?
- Which currency and Incoterms apply, and are price escalation clauses acceptable?
- Are alternates permitted, and how will they be evaluated?
- What is the document review turnaround the supplier can rely on?
Procurement considerations
- Interface clarity is the biggest source of claims; publish it in the RFQ rather than after award.
- Documentation load can rival equipment cost on some packages; suppliers must price it.
- Schedule realism matters more than headline lead time; ask for a milestone-level plan.
- Comparable quotations require a fixed commercial template, not free-format offers.
