About this template

A quote is only comparable once the scope behind it is written down. This request form collects fourteen fields: organisation, contact name, email and phone, study type, project context, specific items or requirements, target sample size, method, regions, timeline and budget range, with a notes field. Suppliers price from the same shape, and buyers can compare the numbers they get back.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a quote need before it means anything?
Sample size, method, regions, timeline and budget written down; without them two suppliers are quoting two projects.
Is this only for external suppliers?
No — it works as an internal research request intake so teams ask in the same shape.
Should budget really be disclosed?
A range is enough and saves a round trip; an exact figure is optional.
How do requirements stay comparable?
List specific items or deliverables rather than writing a paragraph.
Can it gate paid external research too?
Yes — many teams route every paid study through this request before releasing budget.
Does each project cost something to run?
No — copy one free form per supplier, programme or quarter.
