Build the project brief before comparing suppliers.
Fill only what you know. “Not Sure” is a valid procurement input—especially for court model, foundation and weather protection. The generated brief is a planning tool and does not submit an enquiry by itself.
Quotation Scope
What should a padel court quotation include?
A useful quotation makes the technical specification, project boundary and exclusions visible. It does not rely on one total price and a short product description.
| Quotation item | What the buyer should confirm |
|---|---|
| Court model | Exact official system name and project configuration. |
| Steel structure | Steel grade, main sections, wall thicknesses and the quoted structural configuration. |
| Corrosion protection | The actual surface-treatment / coating system in the quotation. |
| Tempered glass | Thickness, processing / standard where applicable, quantity and hardware scope. |
| Mesh / enclosure | Mesh specification, panel scope and related hardware. |
| Turf | Specified turf system and supplied scope. |
| Lighting | Fixture type, quantity, power / protection specification where quoted, poles / brackets and electrical exclusions. |
| Foundation | Concrete interface, modular base or other foundation scope; identify what remains local. |
| Roof / weather protection | Whether open air, Electric Tent, fixed roof or retractable roof is included and what structural interfaces remain project-specific. |
| Technical drawings | Which drawings and installation information are included. |
| Packing | Export packing, component identification and packing-list process. |
| Freight | Agreed Incoterm / commercial basis, named place or port and included freight leg. |
| Installation support | Remote guidance, documents, on-site support if separately agreed, and local labor / lifting responsibilities. |
| Warranty | Written component-level terms attached to the actual quotation rather than a generic headline number. |
| Exclusions | Local civil works, electrical, drainage, permits, local engineering, customs, inland delivery, unloading and any other excluded items. |
Buying rule: compare the same scope before comparing price. A lower headline price can reflect a different specification, different delivery boundary or more exclusions.
Supplier Comparison Sheet
Compare evidence and scope—without hiding differences inside one score.
Use the checklist to mark whether each supplier has provided clear, comparable information. A tick is not a quality score; it only shows that the item has been stated or evidenced.

Hidden Scope Check
Ask what is not included before approving the quotation.
Most commercial disputes begin at the boundary between supplied equipment and local project work. Put that boundary in writing before the order.
Importing into the United States? Duties can move the delivered budget more than the court price itself. See US import tariffs and landed cost for padel courts.
Destination and unloading
Clarify customs, duty / tax, port charges, inland transport, unloading equipment, storage and local handling.
Labor and technical support
Clarify local labor, lifting, tools, remote guidance, technician travel if separately contracted, site safety and acceptance responsibility.
Responsibility Matrix
Court, foundation, roof and local works should not be blended into one vague scope.
| Scope area | Supplier-side items to confirm | Local / project-side items to confirm |
|---|---|---|
| Court system | Confirmed steel, glass, mesh, turf, lighting, hardware and accessories. | Site access, local handling and site-specific approval requirements. |
| Foundation | Interface drawings and modular base only if included in the actual supply. | Survey, soil / structural review, concrete or ground preparation, drainage and local approval. |
| Roof | Quoted roof system, project drawings and supplied structural components if included. | Local code review, project engineering, permits, interfaces, drainage connection and any local building works. |
| Shipping | Export packing and the freight leg stated in the agreed quotation. | Destination customs, duty / tax, inland delivery, unloading and storage unless explicitly included. |
| Installation | Installation documents / guidance and any separately contracted support. | Local labor, lifting equipment, tools, site safety and local works unless explicitly included. |

RFQ FAQ
Common buyer questions before requesting quotations.
What should be included in a padel court RFQ?
Include location, venue, court quantity, site dimensions, site condition, court preference, foundation, weather protection, delivery destination, installation plan and available drawings / photos.
What should the quotation include?
Ask for the exact technical specification, project scope, drawings, packing, freight basis, installation support, warranty and explicit exclusions.
How should I compare suppliers?
Use the same RFQ and compare every return line by line before comparing price.
Do I need to know the court model first?
No. Use Not Sure — Recommend a Solution if the site conditions are clearer than the final product choice.
Should foundation and roof be in the RFQ?
Yes if they are part of the project, because the court, foundation and roof interfaces can affect one another.
What exclusions should I check?
Clarify civil works, drainage, electrical, permits, local engineering, customs, inland delivery, unloading, labor, tools and lifting.
How should shipping be compared?
Compare the same trade term and named place or port, then separate freight from destination charges and site handling.
Should I rank suppliers with one score?
A single score can hide important differences. Compare evidence, scope and responsibilities directly instead.
