Turn approved requirements into a controlled request for comparable supplier quotations.

FOR
Procurement
OUTCOME
Use RAQOZ to turn approved requirements into a controlled request for comparable supplier quotations.

Before you begin

  • The preceding purchase record exists in the intended organisation.
  • Your role permits the action and any assignment is addressed to you.

Guidance

  1. 1

    Create the RFQ from the approved requirement and preserve mandatory specifications.

  2. 2

    Choose legitimate suppliers and set a clear response window.

  3. 3

    Issue invitations through the governed supplier-link workflow.

  4. 4

    Close or advance the RFQ only when responses are ready for review.

Evidence RAQOZ retains

  • RFQ scope and dates
  • Invited suppliers
  • Invitation and response events

Common issues

The next action is not available.

Confirm the current record state, your role or assignment, and any missing policy evidence. Resolve the source condition rather than creating a parallel record.

The purchase needs an exception.

Keep the original result visible and use the configured correction, waiver or override path with an attributable reason.
