BUYER RESOURCE CENTRE
Prepare the requirement.
Improve the outcome.
The quality of a supplier offer depends on the quality of the buyer’s brief. These resources help create comparable quotations and reduce technical, commercial and delivery uncertainty.
RFQ READINESS
Eight inputs that produce a serious quotation.
Not every request requires engineering-level detail at the start. Provide what is known, identify what is uncertain and attach product references, drawings or photographs where they materially clarify the requirement.
Exact product scope
Part number, dimensions, material, voltage, capacity, configuration, accessories and exclusions.
Quantity and quality tier
Required units, expected repeat demand, commercial standard, premium, OEM-equivalent or custom requirement.
Standards and evidence
Required certificates, test reports, inspection scope, conformity evidence and documentation language.
Delivery requirement
Required date, project milestone, acceptable lead time and consequences of delay.
Commercial basis
Currency, target Incoterm, payment preference, budget guidance and quotation validity needed.
Import readiness
Importer licence, appointed agent, foreign-currency process and any controlled-product approvals.

landed-cost structure.

Freight, insurance where applicable, special handling and cargo-specific transport requirements.
Destination obligations
Duties, taxes, clearance, local handling and inland delivery remain subject to the transaction scope and buyer’s appointed parties.
BUYER QUESTIONS
Commercial boundaries, clearly stated.
These answers describe the website and TEKA’s standard workflow. The written quotation and transaction documents control any specific procurement assignment.
Do catalogue pages show stock?
No. They describe TEKA sourcing capabilities. Availability, origin, configuration, condition and price are confirmed only through a formal quotation.
Can TEKA source products not listed?
Yes. A buyer can submit a custom requirement with the application, specifications, quantity and destination for assessment.
Does the lowest supplier price always win?
No. TEKA evaluates scope, compliance, lead time, documents, packing, payment risk, freight profile and total delivered value.
Who handles import clearance in Ethiopia?
The buyer or its appointed licensed destination party remains responsible unless a written TEKA quotation expressly includes a defined destination service.
Can suppliers contact buyers directly?
Supplier access is controlled through the applicable marketplace and transaction workflow. TEKA determines what information is released at each stage.
When is an order binding?
Only after the applicable quotation, commercial terms and transaction documents are accepted by the authorized parties.
Turn your requirement into a controlled RFQ.
Start with the information you have. TEKA will identify the missing technical, commercial and logistics inputs before supplier comparison.
