Commercial sunbed quote checklist

Ask for the make, model and relevant version, together with whether the unit is new, reconditioned or otherwise described. A range name alone may not identify the configuration offered. Keep the quote reference and date so later questions relate to the same proposal.

For a reconditioned machine, ask what work has been completed and what evidence accompanies it. Do not assume that every supplier uses the word reconditioned to mean the same scope. Request photographs of the actual unit where available rather than relying only on a representative manufacturer image.

Use a table for each proposal. A blank answer is a question to resolve, not an item you should assume is included.

Give the supplier accurate information about the premises and the intended installation position. Ask which checks are required before the proposal can be finalised and who carries them out. An equipment quotation does not by itself establish that the building is ready.

Ask whether delivery access, electrical work, ventilation, building alterations or removal of existing equipment are included, excluded or awaiting a survey. Use the delivery access checklist to organise the information. Do not order on the assumption that every trade will be covered by the equipment supplier.

Check how tax, payment stages, delivery charges and any optional items are presented. Ask for the total for the agreed scope and identify costs that cannot yet be confirmed. A starting price and a final installed quotation are different figures.

Keep finance proposals separate from the equipment scope so you can see what each document covers. Questions about a finance agreement belong with the provider and an appropriate adviser; this checklist is not a recommendation to borrow or a comparison of finance products.

Send one written list of unresolved items and ask for the revised proposal to incorporate the answers. Record who is responsible for each remaining task, the proposed sequence and which dates are provisional. A verbal explanation is easier to lose than a clear, versioned quotation.

When the scope is agreed, retain the accepted quote with the order reference and equipment record. Check the eventual delivery and handover against it. See commercial sunbed price information for the broader starting points and contact J Solutions to discuss a specific requirement.
