Managed RFQ service for industrial projects
A managed RFQ service prepares your request for quotation, sends it to suitable suppliers and organises their answers for you. With Global B2B Group, you describe the project once; our project team checks the scope, writes a structured RFQ, contacts relevant independent manufacturers on your behalf and returns a like-for-like comparison. It is free for buyers, supplier-neutral and intended for industrial projects typically from USD 250,000. We do not manufacture, sell or finance equipment.

- Scope review: outcome, capacity, product, site, utilities, standards and acceptance tests.
- A structured RFQ that every supplier answers in the same format.
- Supplier outreach managed by our team — you are not handed a contact list.
- Clarification rounds and a normalised comparison: scope, exclusions, lead time, payment terms and total landed cost.
- A recommendation of next steps; the purchase decision and contract stay with you.

What to prepare
Missing some items is normal — the free project planner shows which ones matter most.
- The business result the project must deliver (e.g. tonnes/hour, packs/minute, yield).
- Site location, layout and available utilities (voltage, water, air, steam).
- Required standards and certifications.
- Budget range, target start date and how it will be funded.
How it works, step by step
- 1. You submit the project in the RFQ builder (about 10 minutes).
- 2. A project team member reviews the scope and asks clarifying questions.
- 3. We finalise the RFQ with you and approach suitable suppliers.
- 4. You receive a comparison of the responses and decide the next step.

Questions buyers ask
How much does the managed RFQ service cost?
Nothing for buyers. Global B2B Group does not charge buyers for scoping, RFQ preparation or supplier outreach.

No. Our team manages outreach and responses on your behalf; there is no direct buyer–supplier introduction unless you choose to proceed with a supplier.

Industrial projects typically from USD 250,000. Smaller buyers can still use the free calculators and planning tools.

No. We organise comparable quotes so you can judge price, scope and risk; we do not guarantee outcomes.
