What is a bill of quantities?

A bill of quantities (BoQ) is a detailed document used in tendering that lists all materials, parts, and labor required for a project, along with their specific quantities. It provides a standardized framework for suppliers to price their bids, ensuring that all parties quote based on the same set of requirements to avoid discrepancies in project scope. By digitizing this process, organizations can move away from manual spreadsheets and paper-based submissions. Procure.az integrates BoQ management into a single digital hub, allowing buyers to publish requirements for any procurement volume and receive structured, system-recorded responses that streamline the evaluation phase.
