SOURCING NOTES / PRACTICAL GUIDANCE
THE DETAILS
BEHIND THE DECISION.
Practical notes on preparing a sourcing enquiry. General guidance, not live market data or binding advice.

Writing “not confirmed” is better than guessing a specification. Resolve missing information before treating a requirement as quotation-ready.
