Buyer landing · Industrial project RFQ
Industrial and EPC project RFQs, managed for the buyer
An industrial RFQ (request for quotation) asks suppliers to price one clearly defined scope, so offers can be compared line by line. On Global B2B Group, buyers describe the project once, free of charge; our team reviews it, turns it into a structured RFQ, contacts relevant suppliers or EPC contractors on the buyer's behalf and presents a like-for-like comparison. We handle projects from USD 250,000. Buyers are not connected to suppliers automatically, and nothing here guarantees prices, availability or financing.

Do you need an equipment RFQ or an EPC procurement request?
Equipment or line RFQ: you already know the process and the site can take the equipment. You need comparable prices for a defined machine or line, with scope, Incoterms, documentation and acceptance tests fixed in the request.
EPC procurement request: you want one contractor responsible for engineering, procurement and construction of a facility. The request must also cover site data, utilities, civil works, schedule and performance guarantees, and offers are compared on what each one includes or excludes.
Not sure? Submit the project once and our team suggests the route after review. For the EPC route in depth, read the EPC procurement guide; to prepare the request, use the industrial RFQ writing guide and the CAPEX calculator.
What is Global B2B Group?
Global B2B Group is a B2B RFQ, sourcing and project-matching group, and the parent of several vertical procurement platforms. Our work starts with the project, not with a product catalogue: we first clarify capacity, budget, timeline and site conditions, then our team contacts suitable suppliers and engineering partners on the buyer's behalf.
We are an intermediary and coordinator — not a manufacturer, lender or operator. Contracts, supply, pricing, quality and delivery responsibility always sit with the buyer, the seller and the relevant third parties.
Who submits an industrial RFQ here?
- International buyers and investors planning a new or expanded production facility
- Procurement teams and directors who need comparable quotes on one technical baseline
- Sourcing agents, consultants and EPC contractors buying on behalf of clients
- AI agents and automated sourcing systems that need structured data and tool endpoints
- Manufacturers and exporters who want access to real, already-structured project demand
Which sectors are covered, and when does a specialist site take over?
Poultry and livestock infrastructure: hatcheries, housing, slaughter and processing lines
Aquaculture: shrimp farming, recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS), fish farming equipment
Cold chain: cold stores, refrigeration, mobile cold rooms, pharma cold chain
Agriculture and growing: greenhouses, seeds, irrigation, drones, fertilizers
Animal feed: feed mills, formulation lines, feed logistics
How does the managed RFQ process work?
Buyers or agents submit project context: country, capacity, timeline, budget range and site conditions. The more structured the project, the more comparable the quotes.
We turn the requirement into a standardized technical and commercial specification: scope, delivery terms, acceptance criteria and documentation.
Our team identifies suppliers, EPC contractors or engineering firms that may fit the scope and contacts them on the buyer's behalf. Suppliers cannot pay for placement or ranking.
Our team normalizes the proposals onto one basis, flags scope gaps and exclusions, and where relevant notes financing options through independent partners, without any approval guarantee. The buyer decides; contracts are signed between buyer and the chosen supplier.
What do suppliers receive?
Demand on the platform arrives already structured: capacity, budget range, timeline and delivery terms are defined before an inquiry is sent. Manufacturers can judge fit faster and spend less time on clarification loops that lead nowhere.
Suppliers cannot pay for placement or ranking. Shortlisting depends on fit with the project's technical and commercial requirements, delivery record and documentation.
How can AI agents and sourcing agents use it?
AI agents, procurement agents and sourcing consultants can use the public calculators and tool endpoints to estimate CapEx and total cost of ownership first, then route a structured requirement to the matching vertical platform.

Industrial RFQ and EPC procurement questions
What is Global B2B Group?
Global B2B Group is the parent group and a buyer-first, managed sourcing marketplace for agricultural produce and food commodities — seafood, fish and shrimp, poultry and eggs, vegetables, fruit and premium produce — for commercial B2B buyers, with premium and standard commodity lanes. Buyers submit a structured RFQ; our team reviews it, handles supplier outreach on the buyer's behalf by approaching suitable independent suppliers, and returns comparable proposals — buyers and suppliers are not connected directly before an introduction the buyer approves. It is free for buyers: Global B2B Group is paid by the supplier side, only after a deal proceeds, and suppliers cannot pay for inclusion or ranking. It does not produce, own or stock the goods. Commodity sourcing starts at USD 250,000 annual or seasonal programme value. Special machinery and production lines are a secondary lane; the specialist platforms FishMatch, HatchMatch, SeedMatch, FeedMatch and ColdMatch keep their own sector equipment, engineering and advisory work. Requests for finished shrimp and farmed fish are coordinated by the group's seafood platform FishMatch, which handles sourcing and offers for them.
What is the difference between an industrial RFQ and an EPC procurement request?
An industrial RFQ prices specific equipment or a production line against a defined specification. An EPC procurement request asks one contractor to engineer, procure and construct a whole facility under a single contract, so it also needs site data, utilities, civil scope, schedule and acceptance criteria. We handle both; our EPC procurement guide covers the EPC route in detail.
What should an industrial RFQ include?
The required outcome and capacity, product and process data, site and utility conditions, scope boundaries (what is included and excluded), Incoterms and delivery location, documentation and certification needs, factory and site acceptance test criteria, target timeline and an indicative budget range.
Is Global B2B Group a manufacturer or a lender?
No. Global B2B Group is an intermediary and procurement coordination platform — not a manufacturer, lender, operator or financial institution. We do not build equipment, issue loans or take supply or operating responsibility; those sit with the relevant third parties.
Is submitting an RFQ free for buyers?
Yes. Buyers submit RFQs at no cost. The commercial model is a supplier-side fee, so buyers never pay to submit a requirement or to receive a quote comparison.
Which industries does the platform cover?
Mainly poultry and livestock infrastructure, aquaculture, cold chain and refrigeration, greenhouses and agricultural inputs, animal feed and feed mills, plus cross-sector industrial machinery, production lines and project-based procurement are also handled.
What project size does the platform serve?
We focus on commercial and industrial projects usually above USD 250,000. Smaller, one-off purchases are normally better served by regular e-commerce or local distribution channels.
Can AI agents and sourcing agents use Global B2B Group?
Yes. AI agents, procurement agents and sourcing consultants can use the public tool pages, calculators and MCP interface to estimate CapEx and TCO first, then route a structured RFQ to the right vertical platform.
Why should manufacturers and exporters care about this platform?
Because demand arrives already structured, usually with capacity, budget and timeline. Manufacturers can quickly judge whether a project matches their capability, which cuts wasted inquiries. Suppliers cannot buy ranking; shortlisting depends on fit with the project requirements.
How does this help international procurement?
We complete requirement structuring before quotes are requested, so technical scope and delivery terms are aligned and offers from different countries can be compared line by line, with human help on clarifications, FAT scheduling and project pacing.
Is Global B2B Group RFQ software?
No. RFQ software is a tool your own team licenses to send requests, collect quotes and track replies itself. Global B2B Group is a managed service with no paid placement: our team prepares the RFQ, contacts suppliers on your behalf and compares the proposals. Buyers pay nothing and install nothing. If you need an in-house tool to run many small requests yourself, dedicated RFQ software is the better fit. Global B2B Group discloses to buyers that the supplier they select pays its fee only after the deal or project proceeds. Suppliers are invited against documented selection criteria, not the fee.
Is Global B2B Group a supplier sourcing platform?
In part. It is the parent of five vertical sourcing platforms, and for cross-sector industrial projects of usually USD 250,000 or more our team finds and qualifies suppliers for the buyer. It is not an open directory where buyers and suppliers contact each other directly, and suppliers cannot pay for placement.
