By using the standard RFQ template, the University’s requirements as well as the terms and conditions of purchase are communicated with the vendor community in a standardized and transparent manner in advance of the University’s commitment to purchase. It also allows our potential vendors to prepare their quotations with a clear understanding of McGill’s expectations and conditions, removing any ambiguity in the process.  \nPlease follow the following instructions prior to sending a copy of the RFQ to your vendors of interest:  \n1. The standard RFQ template is available in two formats:  \no PDF - you need to print and manually write your information on the form);  \no Electronic version (Excel)–You can save a copy to your desktop and electronically enter your information on the form.  \nTip: by using the electronic RFQ, you may distribute the RFQ electronically (via e-mail) to a vendor (once the Requester’s Information section is completed). This allows the recipient vendor to electronically complete the RFQ and send the completed RFQ and the quotation back to you by e-mail.  \n2. Complete the top portion of RFQ in the following sequence:  \n Requester Information: Department name, contact name, telephone/fax \\# & e-mail;  \n Date of RFQ: defaulted to the day the document is opened;  \n RFQ closing date: is the deadline for accepting quotations from potential vendors. The Requester must determine a reasonable RFQ  \nclosing date depending on the nature of the required goods and services as well as the planned acquisition timeline;  \nTip: to be fair to all vendors, you should not accept quotes that maybe forwarded to you after the RFQ closing date.  \n RFQ NO.: is a unique reference number to each purchase project, which the Requester may assign to the RFQ for tracking purposes;  \n Delivery Address (McGill Destination): Enter the address includingthe room number where the goods & services are expected to be delivered to;  \n Item No., Quantity, Unit of Measurement, Catalogue \\# and Description of the required Goods and Services: provide detailed description of the goods & services including specifications. If the specifications to the RFQ should require additional space, please use the Request for Quotation – Page 2 as well. Both documents must be fully completed in order for the quotation to be valid;  \n3. Determine the list of vendors who you wish to solicit a quotation from;  \n4. Transmit the RFQ (and Page 2 if required) to each vendor on your list of vendors.","cbCaimVOpjExIEAW","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaimVOpjExIEAW","pdf",374988,"English","# Standard RFQ Template\n## Purpose of Using the Standard RFQ\n## Available Formats: PDF and Electronic (Excel)\n## Completing the RFQ in Required Sequence\n## Selecting Vendors and Transmitting the RFQ","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of using the standard RFQ template?\",\"answer\":\"It facilitates obtaining quotations by communicating the university’s requirements and purchase terms in a standardized, transparent manner.
