🧠 IQ Recommendation

Award Recommendation
Recommend awarding to TechSource UK (90/100).

Rationale: Best overall score across all criteria. Price of £131,250 represents a 14.3% saving on baseline. ISO 27001 and Cyber Essentials certifications reduce IT security risk. 10-day lead time is fastest of all respondents.

⚠️ Do not award to CoreSystems without obtaining latest financial accounts (D&B credit flag noted).

📨 Negotiation Thread

Live
IQ
Contract CT-2024-041 has been issued to TechSource UK. One point remains open: warranty term. Vendor has proposed 12 months; your standard is 24 months. I recommend holding firm — this is market standard for hardware of this value.
TS
We can offer 18 months warranty as a compromise — this aligns with our manufacturer support period.
IQ
18 months is below market standard. Recommend countering at 24 months with option to purchase extended warranty at cost. This is a reasonable position given contract value.

Key Commercial Terms

Total Value: £131,250 · Payment: 30/40/30 milestones · Terms: 30 days

Delivery

Phase 1: 10 working days · Phase 2: 15 working days · LD clause: 0.5%/day capped at 5%

Warranty [Under negotiation]

Buyer requests 24 months. Vendor proposed 18 months. IQ recommends accepting 24 months — market standard and protects your customers.

Payment Protection

All payments via Bundle platform. Release on buyer confirmation of each milestone. Dispute escalation via Bundle IQ mediation module.

🧠 IQ Contract Advice

Vendor Guidance
Recommend accepting the 24-month warranty request. This is standard for hardware at this contract value and the buyer is a strong credit risk. Accepting will likely accelerate award and position you well for future contracts with this buyer.

All other terms are commercially reasonable. The milestone payment structure protects you — 30% on execution ensures you're not carrying risk before delivery.
