[Decision guide]
What this article will help you decide
procurement, finance, office manager and project manager
compare proposals of the same composition and protect the budget from missed work
do not compare the totals until the packaging, logistics, installation, warranty and replacement conditions match
What needs to be determined before requesting a quote?
First, issue a single statement of work and response form for all participants.
If participants count different screens, mechanisms, delivery and installation, the totals are not comparable.
- bill of quantities
- equivalence criteria
- site schedule and conditions
How to make a decision and compare options?
The winner must confirm the full result, not the lowest line with no required work.
Compare options based on the same composition: product, configuration, documents, logistics, installation and service. Record any exception or analogue on a separate line so that the final price does not hide the differences.
What should be included in the specification and contract?
It is a mistake to list one brand without measurable characteristics or to accept analogues without re-testing the plan.
- exact articles, sizes, materials and quantities;
- confirmed deadline and schedule dependencies;
- composition of delivery, lifting, assembly and acceptance;
- guarantee of a specific series and the procedure for eliminating comments.
What mistakes to avoid?
PoMo helps clarify the furniture part of the technical specifications, prepares samples and calculates the uniform composition of delivery and installation.
Do not take an advertising promise as a condition of a contract. If the outcome is dependent on availability, site readiness, sample approval, or a third-party contractor, this dependency should be visible in the schedule.
How does the PoMo Union Office address this challenge?
Is it possible to send completed tender documentation for calculation?
To calculate, send the floor plan, number of employees, city, desired launch date and project limitations. The team will match the problem with catalog, will prepare a plan and line-by-line specification without unconfirmed prices and deadlines.
Which series should I look at in the catalogue?
Below are starting points for comparison. Final compatibility, finishes, quantity and timing must be confirmed according to specification:

catalog
What data is needed for preliminary calculation?
Floor plan, number of employees, city, deadline, budget guideline and tender procurement requirements.
