Can you be appointed through our procurement process?+
Ask, and we will say plainly whether the firm is registered for the route you are running. The quotation is itemised into our fee, production and pass-through costs, with assumptions, exclusions and optional add-ons on separate lines. Insurance certificates and payment terms are provided on request, and the quotation is issued in your submission format. No registration or certification claim is made here.
What do we get back, and when?+
Within one working day, a written summary of what we understood. Within five working days, a proposal: venue options with indicative cost, a programme rundown, a line-item budget and the itemised quotation. We revise it until it is committee-ready, and every revision states what changed.
Is the figure here a quotation?+
No. The bands are illustrative figures so you can test affordability before a date is held. A quotation is issued in writing, states its validity period, names the assumptions, lists the exclusions, and prices every optional item separately.
Do you take commission from suppliers?+
Every engagement answers this in the supplier register. Any commission, referral fee or discount received from a supplier is disclosed in the supplier register against that agreement. Pass-through costs are billed at the supplier’s cost with the invoice attached, and our fee is the only line we add.
What happens if our approval slips?+
A date is held only while the supplier’s own deadline allows it, and every deadline is listed in the supplier register with what missing it costs. If approval moves, we re-price against the new date and tell you the difference before anything is rebooked. We do not quietly hold a date we cannot pay for.
How are changes handled once the run sheet is frozen?+
Changes inside the frozen window are priced as a variation and approved in writing before they are executed, including any supplier charge for moving a delivery. Where a change is not possible, we say so rather than absorbing it and presenting it on the final invoice.
