RFQ stands for Request for Quotation — a standard B2B procurement process.
A Request for Quotation (RFQ) lets you describe exactly what you need — product specifications, quantities, delivery terms — and invite multiple suppliers to submit competitive offers. Instead of searching for suppliers one by one, you post your requirements and suppliers come to you. This saves time, ensures competitive pricing, and gives you access to a wider range of verified suppliers across Africa.
Four simple steps from request to protected order.
Specify the products, quantities, quality standards, and delivery requirements for your order.
Verified suppliers review your request and submit competitive quotes tailored to your specifications.
Review and compare quotes side by side. Negotiate terms, pricing, and delivery directly with suppliers.
Choose the best offer and place your order with full Trade Assurance escrow protection.
Get better quotes faster with a well-written request.
Include detailed product specifications like dimensions, material, grade, colour, and any certifications required. The more detail, the more accurate quotes you receive.
State your required quantity clearly with preferred units (kg, tonnes, pieces, cartons). Mention if you need a trial order first.
Specify your desired delivery date and whether it is flexible. Allow reasonable lead times for manufacturing and shipping.
Note any certifications, standards, or compliance requirements (ISO, HACCP, organic, fair trade) so suppliers can confirm they meet them.
Use these as a starting point for your own requests.
Post your first RFQ and start receiving competitive quotes from verified suppliers.
