What is a request for quotation?
A request for quotation (RFQ) is a business process where a company invites suppliers to provide a price quote for specific products or services. It is typically used when requirements are clearly defined and the primary focus of the selection process is cost and delivery terms. By transitioning this process to a digital environment, organizations can manage the entire procurement lifecycle—from supplier identification to contract awarding—within a single system. Procure.az provides this digital infrastructure, enabling buyers to automate pre-qualification and sourcing while maintaining a modular architecture that is configured to the buying organization’s own internal processes.
