Scope of work
One specification, clear responsibility
We coordinate supplier matching, quotation comparison, sample reviews, independent inspection requests and consolidation planning. The supplier confirms the quoted specification and commercial terms. The buyer approves fitment, documents and purchase release for each project.
One supplier can simplify lot traceability. Multiple suppliers can cover gaps in a size list, with extra work to reconcile tread, batch identification and shipment timing. Set the grouping rules before quotes come back so both options can be compared on the same basis.
Evidence before commitment
Sample check
Keep the sample model, sidewall marking, load index and speed rating in the same review row. If tread depth matters, identify the groove, measuring location and sample condition. Flag a mismatch for buyer disposition before proceeding.
Document scope
Tie any tire report or approval to the tire type, exact model or covered size, issuing party, method, date and destination. For rolling resistance, record the test load and inflation pressure with the result. Confirm applicability with the buyer or compliance adviser.
Quote revision
Recheck price, unit basis and packaging after any specification change. A prior quote can have a different basis even when the nominal size stays the same. Specify whether mixed-container loading or separate orders are acceptable before comparing packing and freight.
Third-party scope
Define who measures, which lot is sampled and who signs off. A visual packing inspection has a different scope from a laboratory performance test.
Release record
Distinguish what the supplier supplied, what an inspector checked and what the buyer accepted. Record open exceptions with an owner and the next decision point.
