Questions for the supplier
Ask whether the document covers a product, a facility, a professional or a training provider. These are different subjects. Have your responsible healthcare or compliance person review the document against the intended use.
Check the evidence against the order
An applicable requirement and a product’s supporting documents answer different questions. Match the model and contents to the proposed order; check dates and scope. Do not treat a supplier badge as a substitute for the document itself.
What to include in your quote request
A clear request helps you compare like-for-like offers. Separate the cost of the container, consumables, refills and delivery. Record substitutions in writing before accepting an order.
- Workplace activity, delivery address and the number of people on each shift.
- Required contents, item quantities and the standard or site specification, including its edition.
- Minimum remaining shelf life, proposed storage location and any mounting requirements.
- Delivery deadline, receiving contact and any access or purchase-order conditions.
Common questions
Will buying a kit guarantee that my workplace passes an inspection?
No. Kit contents are only part of workplace arrangements. The applicable assessment, placement, maintenance, trained personnel and other site requirements must also be addressed.
