Output
Comparison matrix, follow-up list, CSV and printable brief
Set one comparison basis
Use one controlled specification, quantity and currency. Enter an explicit FX basis when a quote uses another currency.
2 of 5 quotes
Calculation method and limits
This is a normalization worksheet, not a weighted supplier scorecard. The buyer owns the award rationale.
Commercial basis
Comparison total = (unit price + packaging per unit) × comparison quantity + tooling + sample + testing + inspection. Quote-currency values are converted only with the FX rate entered by the buyer.
What remains outside the formula
The result does not value quality capability, delivery reliability, intellectual-property exposure, compliance, customs responsibility or the meaning of an incomplete Incoterm. Those remain evidence and decision questions.
Continue the workflow
Use the supplier quote comparison guide, MOQ negotiation guide and landed-cost scenario before final award.
