Our Vice President has given us a specific budget for this contract. He also has instructed our contracts team to get another 3 quotes from other suppliers, with a view to have a competitive pricing quoted.
On my side I managed to convince him that we should hold on from getting quotes from other suppliers, since in the past you have done a very good job. I promised him that we are going to get this contract within the budget that he gave. He agreed to this, but if we cannot get your proposed price within our budget, then we would have to open this to another 3 suppliers.
Again I personally would love to have you as our supplier. But to do this we would need your price to better than what you have quoted in your initial proposal. Your price should be 9% lower at a final price of USD 177,500.
If you cannot offer this price, I’m afraid that we would have to look at getting other suppliers for this job.
Again I hope and trust to get your acceptance of this offer from our side. I trust you understand that in the past we have been loyal clients to you and I am sure that in the future your flexibility in your offer should result in future work for you and your organization.
