You hold a quotation, or a supplier's price list, and want to know whether it sits inside the range other suppliers publish for the same thing. The answer depends on comparing like with like: same specification, same quantity break, same stated terms.
We take the specification and quantity you intend to buy, then look for published supplier price lists, catalogue price breaks and marketplace listings that match it closely. Each comparable price is labelled by type: list price, quoted price you supplied, or marketplace listing. The report places your quote among them and says plainly where the comparison is thin.
A published price is an asking price. It shows where offers are positioned, not what the supplier would accept from you.
Material, grade, tolerance or feature set as stated. An offer that differs on a point you care about is flagged, not silently included.
Price breaks are restated to the quantity you intend to order, and a listing with a minimum order beyond yours is shown separately.
Currency, validity date and the delivery term each supplier writes are recorded alongside the price as labels, not recalculated.
List, quoted and marketplace prices are never blended into one figure.
Trade-only pricing behind a login is not read unless you provide it, and then it is marked as client-provided.
The benchmark can inform a conversation with the supplier. Conducting it for you is outside the service.
What it costs to get goods to you is not calculated here.
Include the revision of the specification and the quantity the quote was for.
Supplier sites, catalogues and listings are recorded with the date they were read.
Prices go onto your quantity basis. Gaps in the comparison are listed rather than filled.
Ranges, the position of your quote, outliers and the source log, with a limitations note.
Research reports what can be established from public and provided sources. It is not a guarantee about a counterparty's future conduct and not legal advice.
The report shows where the quote sits against comparable published offers. Whether that is acceptable is your judgement, and a price outside the range may have reasons the sources cannot show.
One quote is enough to benchmark against published offers. The report says how many comparable offers were found and how much weight the comparison can carry.
No. Checking a supplier's records is a separate piece of work.
