While RFQs are straightforward, mistakes can undermine their effectiveness. Ambiguous specifications, incomplete information, or unrealistic timelines can result in inaccurate quotations. Another common mistake is limiting the number of suppliers, which may reduce competitive advantage. Ensuring clarity, consistency, and broad supplier engagement improves the RFQ’s success rate and reduces procurement risks.
