Buyer journey · enquiry to RFQ

How this project moved from a first enquiry to a comparable RFQ

Every FishMatch project follows the same five stages. Nothing is sourced until a person has reviewed the brief, and supplier identities stay confidential until the buyer decides to engage.

  1. 01

    Initial enquiry

    The buyer described a ponds project in Sub-Saharan Africa in a few lines — species or product, target output and site situation — without naming or contacting a single supplier.

    Result · A confidential brief in the FishMatch desk, acknowledged the same day.

  2. 02

    Brief review

    FishMatch read the brief before any sourcing began, listed the missing decisions and separated what was fixed from what was still an assumption.

    Result · An agreed project definition: system type, production model and the constraints that change equipment selection.

  3. 03

    Sizing and numbers

    Duty figures were established for the ponds scope — load, water treatment, aeration or oxygenation, flow and energy — so equipment was specified from numbers rather than catalogue models.

    Result · A sizing basis every supplier quotes against, using the same assumptions.

  4. 04

    Structured RFQ

    The scope was split into lots (earthen production ponds with paddlewheel aeration and the rest of the package) and issued as one RFQ with identical questions to each shortlisted manufacturer.

    Result · Comparable offers on one sheet: scope, exclusions, lead time and commissioning support.

  5. 05

    Review and handoff

    Offers were normalised, deviations declared, and only then were introductions made manually — supplier identities were held by FishMatch throughout.

    Result · Reference scope used to package civil works, aeration and processing equipment into a single comparable RFQ.
