When conducting price comparison purchases, I felt that the price quoted by the first company was too low; on top of that, they even gave an incorrect figure

When conducting price comparison for procurement, I felt that the price quoted by the first company was too low; moreover, they made a mistake and underreported the material cost by 20,000. How should this situation be handled? What if another supplier submits a quote later, and after comparing the prices we choose the one with the lowest price, only for the first supplier to decide not to go through with it? What should we do then? Do we have to go and find that second, expensive option that we rejected? This is absolutely bizarre

Reconfirm the material price with the first company; if it’s actually included, then you’ve misunderstood it

Hehe, there are many tricks involved here, so one must handle it with caution. There are several possibilities; for example, one entity, along with multiple “assists” that serve it, may participate in the bidding. There’s a traitor among the superiors,,,,, Therefore, for such matters, it is essential to examine the qualifications of the bidding companies as well as their various performance records; when necessary, on-site inspections are also required. On this basis, it’s fine to share your own opinions. Nor should there be suspicion or emotional involvement (including statements and the like). Also, this isn’t something that can be determined by just you alone; it’s sufficient to simply state your own opinion for reference.

Quotations need to be submitted several times, right?

One company bids, with several others submitting bids as companions! ! ! Find a new one

Don’t your cost engineers have an idea in their minds?

If the first company that wins the bid decides not to proceed, that would be a breach of contract; it’s completely normal to turn to a second company, and there’s nothing strange about that at all.
