What is a quotation?
A quotation — also called an estimate or quote — is a document a seller gives a potential customer setting out the price for specific goods or services before any work begins. Unlike an invoice, which requests payment for work already done, a quotation is an offer: it tells the customer exactly what they will get and what it will cost, usually for a limited validity period. For service businesses and suppliers in the UAE and Pakistan, a clear, itemised quotation is often what wins the job.
When do you need one?
You send a quotation whenever a customer asks 'how much will this cost?' before committing — for a project, a bulk order, or a service package. It lets the client compare suppliers, approve a budget, and agree the scope and price up front, which prevents disputes later. Many companies and government tenders require a formal written quotation before issuing a purchase order. Adding a validity date protects you from being held to a price after costs change, and clear terms (advance payment, exclusions) set expectations from the start.
Format & what to include
A quotation is headed 'Quotation' with a unique number, the date, and a validity date. It names your business and the client, and often a subject or project line. The core is an itemised table — description, quantity, unit price and amount — followed by the subtotal, any discount, tax/VAT and the total. Strong quotations state the amount in words and include clear terms and conditions: payment schedule, what's included or excluded, and how long the quote is valid. Once accepted, a quotation typically converts into a purchase order or an invoice.
Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between a quotation and an invoice?
A quotation is an offer of price before work begins; an invoice is a request for payment after goods or services are delivered. Many businesses send a quotation first, and once it's approved, issue an invoice for the same items.
Why should a quotation have a validity date?
Prices and costs change. A validity date ('valid until') means you are only bound to the quoted price for that period, after which you can re-quote. It also gently encourages the client to decide.
Should I include VAT in a quotation?
If you are VAT-registered, yes — show the tax so the client sees the full price they'll pay. In the UAE that's 5% VAT. If you are not registered, leave the tax field blank and state that prices are tax-exclusive if relevant.
Can a quotation become a contract?
When a client formally accepts a quotation (often with a signature or a purchase order), it can form the basis of a binding agreement on price and scope. That's why clear terms and conditions on the quotation matter.
