How to compare botanical ingredient quotations
Compare the specification and commercial terms together, so price comparisons have a consistent basis.
PHYTONIVA editorial · Purchasing checklists
Align the ingredient specification
Confirm that the quoted identity, format and target specification match your brief. A similar product name alone does not establish that two offers describe the same requirement.
Compare the commercial basis
Record quantity, packing, currency, delivery terms and destination. Note what is included in the quoted price and what needs separate confirmation.
Confirm samples and timing
Ask for sample availability, cost and dispatch arrangements. Confirm the applicable lead time rather than treating an earlier estimate as a final commitment.
Close the remaining questions
Record document requirements, agreed changes and any outstanding conditions in writing. Your final purchasing decision should refer to the complete offer.
