Procurement & Specifications

Buyer-side guides for specifying and sourcing pool equipment — RFQs, bills of materials, quote comparison, technical submittals, spare parts and project acceptance.

Clear scope, complete drawings and comparable quotes prevent most procurement disputes. These guides cover the documentation and verification steps for sourcing pool equipment on a project basis, from RFQ to acceptance.

Write the request with the RFQ guide and the RFQ template. Then compare quotes on the same line items, not on a headline total.

If equipment will cross a border, use the importing checklist. The drawings and BOM checklist is the document set the RFQ should attach.
