New-parts quotations should be compared only after the buyer understands the exact item and source commitment in each offer. Terms such as genuine, OE and OEM can be used differently in commercial conversations. Ask suppliers to define what they mean for the specific part rather than assuming that similar wording establishes identical products or manufacturer relationships.

## Establish technical comparability

Match the vehicle reference, part number, manufacturer, condition and quantity against the approved requirement. Record supersessions and alternatives separately. Have the competent workshop reviewer confirm fitment and any associated requirements before treating an offer as acceptable.

Check whether the quotation covers a complete assembly, a component or an accessory kit. Two prices may appear far apart because one includes associated pieces that the other omits. Request itemised clarification rather than inferring that the higher offer is simply overpriced.

## Compare the sourcing evidence

Ask what supports the supplier's source claim and verify any stated manufacturer authorisation through a relevant official channel. Distinguish authorisation, product authenticity and vehicle suitability: they are related purchasing questions but not interchangeable conclusions.

For example, a seller may provide a correctly identified unused part without being an authorised distributor. The buyer should evaluate the actual source evidence and agreed support conditions rather than making an unsupported assumption in either direction based solely on the seller's marketing terminology.

## Include availability and return conditions

Compare confirmed local stock, stock to be obtained and estimated import lead times separately. Ask when the quoted availability is reserved and what happens if the source changes before dispatch. A fast delivery claim should not obscure uncertainty about the item that will be obtained.

Review delivery charges, return restrictions and the warranty-claim process. Conditions may matter particularly for special orders or items that will be opened, fitted or configured. Have the workshop understand those conditions before accepting a lower price that leaves little room to resolve a mismatch.

## Record the evaluated purchase

Create a comparison showing accepted part identity, source, total cost, delivery commitment and support. Keep unresolved fitment or authenticity concerns outside a compensating price score. Explain any premium in terms of a specific benefit, such as confirmed stock or a clearer evidence trail. The decision should identify the part and service being purchased, rather than rank quotations whose labels conceal materially different offers.
