Ask whether blank means excluded, included elsewhere or not yet estimated; those are three different prices disguised as one empty cell.
11 pointsSupplier says training is available. No answer about the price or content.
6 pointsAvailable is doing a lot of work there; who shows the cover person what to do with a half-filled carton?
19 pointsYou can put a buyer's allowance in the comparison while they answer, provided it's visibly your estimate and not quietly attributed to their offer
15 pointsI would not rank that offer on an invented allowance without showing how far the total could move.
11 pointsAnd who covers production while the usual operator learns it?
8 pointsThe priced offer includes our operator and deputy. Neither offer includes relief cover.
17 pointsBeth, I mean a budget range, not a substitute supplier quote; Jack can still show why today's cheaper headline might not stay cheaper
17 pointsRelief cover is ours to price then. Not another missing supplier spare.
1 pointsLucy, yes, but I'd ask what the deputy is actually being taught before booking people off their jobs
19 pointsLuca, the priced scope includes setup and interrupted orders. The unpriced one describes only demonstration.
16 pointsThen price the same required training scope in both columns before calling them alternatives.
8 pointsAnd keep your cover cost separate, Jack, so it doesn't look like the supplier has suddenly raised its price when you add your own labour
19 pointsComparison now shows required scope, unanswered supplier cost and our cover allowance separately. No ranking yet.
20 pointsCan the deputy attend the same session, or does your shift pattern make that another booking?
