Why a structured RFQ matters
For hospital beds, wheelchairs, transfer equipment and rehabilitation products, a unit price alone does not define the delivered product. A structured request helps suppliers quote the correct configuration and lets buyers compare offers fairly.
Core RFQ fields
- Buyer type and destination country.
- Product category, exact model or required functions.
- Quantity by model and expected repeat-order potential.
- Voltage, plug, language requirements and preferred accessories.
- Branding, OEM or packaging requirements.
- Required certificates and destination-market documentation.
- Delivery location, requested shipment date and container or delivery constraints.
Documents to request
Ask for a product specification, user manual, photo set, accessory list, packing dimensions, loading information, model-specific documentation, warranty terms and spare-parts support details. Confirm which statements apply to the selected configuration before placing the order.
How to compare quotations
Compare the full delivered configuration, documentation, accessory package, warranty and service support. Record any exclusions, alternative components and delivery assumptions. This prevents a lower headline price from hiding a different product scope.

Frequently asked questions
Should MOQ and lead time be published as fixed values?
Not when they vary by model, configuration, quantity, documents and production schedule. Ask for them in the written quotation.

Hospital bed RFQ: what to specify for each model
For a comparable hospital bed quotation, provide the model, quantity, configuration, destination country and separately itemized accessories. Repeat the checklist for each model. If a requirement is unknown, mark it for confirmation rather than assuming it is included.
Model and quantity
List each exact model with its quantity. If undecided, describe the care setting and required functions; ask the supplier to propose a model and identify any differences.
Bed configuration
Specify manual or electric operation, required adjustments, height range, safe working load, side rails, castors and brakes. State whether CPR, battery backup or manual crank backup is required; these are separate requirements, subject to model confirmation.
Electrical requirements
For electric models, state destination voltage, frequency, plug and control requirements. Mark this field not applicable for fully manual models.
Destination and documents
Give the destination country, delivery city or port, buyer type and intended setting. Attach the tender requirements if available. Request documents for the exact model and market, not only company certificates.
Accessories and room furniture
List mattresses, IV poles, bedside cabinets, overbed tables and transfer equipment separately, each with a model or specification and quantity. Ask which items are included, optional or unavailable, and confirm bed/accessory compatibility.
Packing and schedule
State assembled or knock-down packing preferences, private-label needs, delivery access constraints and required arrival date. Request packing dimensions, gross weight and a confirmed loading plan; distinguish production time from transit time.
