An LED screen RFQ is a request for quotation that tells suppliers what a project needs and asks them to explain the equipment, services and costs they propose. In Pakistan, a clear RFQ helps buyers compare Leyard and other LED solutions using the same brief. It reduces uncertainty about screen dimensions, viewing tasks, installation responsibilities and support without requiring the buyer to design the entire technical system.
The template below is intended for business purchasing teams, facilities managers and project owners. Mustang Communications can use this information to discuss a model-specific Leyard proposal. It does not establish a fixed specification, universal price or standard warranty. Suppliers should identify assumptions and explain why their proposed configuration fits the application instead of returning only a headline rate per square foot.
Start with the business purpose
Write two or three sentences describing the job the display must perform. Explain who will view it, what they need to understand and where they will be located. A boardroom may need readable charts, while a reception display may show visitor information and brand video. A mall campaign wall has a different audience and content rhythm. Avoid using only adjectives such as premium, latest or high quality; they do not define a testable requirement.
State how the organization will judge a useful outcome. Examples include readable meeting information from the intended seats, straightforward content updates by reception staff or reliable switching between approved event sources. Keep optional aspirations separate from essential functions. This allows a supplier to identify a practical base configuration and price alternatives without silently removing an essential requirement to meet an assumed budget.
Describe the site with evidence
Provide the city, building type, proposed location and photographs showing the wall and audience area. Include measured available width and height, nearby obstructions and the expected closest and normal viewing positions. Mark any measurements that remain provisional. Ask the supplier to confirm the final layout through a site survey before fabrication. A photograph with no scale is helpful context but does not replace actual dimensional information.
Explain exposure and operating conditions. Say whether the location is indoors, outdoors or partially exposed, and describe daylight, dust or access concerns that need assessment. Identify restrictions on working hours, deliveries, lifting equipment and disruption to occupied spaces. The RFQ should request a qualified review of structural and electrical requirements, rather than directing bidders to follow an unverified mounting or power arrangement chosen before the survey.
Define the content and source workflow
List the material the screen will show: presentations, advertisements, dashboards, prepared video or live cameras. Attach a sample file where possible and identify the smallest text that users must read. State whether one source fills the display or several appear together. Include any requirement to preserve a standard presentation shape within a wider canvas. Ask the supplier to specify the resulting active resolution and explain scaling or reserved content regions.
List source devices and their locations, along with the person who will operate them. Describe how often content changes and whether approval is required before publication. Ask which controller, player, software licences and accounts are included. A proposal should show how content reaches the screen and how staff manage an ordinary day. This prevents the purchasing discussion from ending at the display cabinets while playback remains an unassigned responsibility.
Request a model-specific equipment schedule
Ask each supplier to name the manufacturer, series, model, cabinet arrangement, pitch, active dimensions and native pixel resolution. Request documentation for the offered variant and identification of optional features. A product-family brochure may contain specifications for several versions, so the supplier should point to the relevant configuration. Require a clear explanation of any alternative proposed against the original brief, including its effect on viewing, access and total cost.
Ask how material substitutions will be handled before delivery. The proposed controller, cabinet or display component should not change without an explanation and an updated specification where that change affects the agreed system. For Leyard proposals, request the applicable manufacturer documents and clarify local supply and support responsibilities. A brand name is useful identification, but it does not replace the equipment schedule or establish every service commitment in the quotation.
Divide the installed scope into responsibilities
Request separate lines or a clear scope statement for display hardware, mounting structure, electrical work, signal cabling, processing, playback, delivery, installation and commissioning. Include access equipment, training and finishing work where relevant. Ask what the buyer or another contractor must supply. A complete responsibility list makes offers comparable and helps the project manager coordinate dependencies before installation starts.
Invite bidders to identify exclusions and provisional items explicitly. If structural work cannot be finalized without a survey, the quotation should say what remains uncertain and how it will be priced. Do not treat an unstated item as included. Likewise, do not assume that a lower proposal excludes necessary work without asking. Our indoor screen budgeting guide explains why complete project scope matters more than an isolated area rate.
Ask for service terms that can be reviewed
Request the applicable warranty documents, coverage start date, claim route and identity of the responsible provider. Ask about parts, labour, travel, freight and access equipment. Separate a response target from a repair commitment. If local spare stock or manufacturer backing is claimed, ask how that statement applies to the exact model and purchase. Do not copy an assumed warranty period into the RFQ and expect all products to offer it.
Ask suppliers to describe recommended spares, their identification and the process for maintaining visual consistency after replacement. Include operating instructions, configuration backups and training in the handover request. Buyers can use our warranty and after-sales checklist to organize these questions. General manufacturer resources such as official product support pages should be matched to the proposed product, not treated as proof of local contract terms.
Copy this concise RFQ structure
- Project purpose: describe the audience, content and essential viewing task.
- Site information: attach photographs, available dimensions, viewing positions and known restrictions.
- Operating schedule: state ordinary hours, event needs and who operates the screen.
- Proposed system: request exact models, active dimensions, resolution and control equipment.
- Installed scope: identify structure, power, cabling, transport, access, commissioning and training.
- Support: request applicable warranty, service responsibilities, spares and documentation.
- Commercial response: request itemized costs, exclusions, delivery assumptions, taxes and quotation validity.
- Verification: request a relevant demonstration and an agreed handover checklist.
Add a response table with columns for requirement, supplier proposal, evidence and exception. Ask each bidder to complete it, even where the answer is that a point needs site confirmation. An unanswered requirement should remain visibly unresolved rather than being given an assumed pass. This format helps the buyer distinguish a compliant response from a proposal that uses attractive language but does not address the actual brief.
Compare responses using the same evidence
Normalize the scope before comparing totals. Identify missing processing, installation work or service responsibilities and ask for revised figures where needed. Compare demonstrations using the same content and relevant viewing conditions. Record which differences are measured, which are documented and which remain sales claims. A comparison becomes more defensible when the team can explain the evidence behind each conclusion rather than simply selecting the most persuasive presentation.
If a supplier proposes a lower-cost option, ask what changes and whether essential functions remain satisfied. If another proposes an upgrade, ask which task improves and how it will be demonstrated. Do not assume the highest specification always delivers the best value. Our LED brand comparison guide provides a complementary framework for evaluating complete models and support arrangements fairly.
An example of a useful clarification
Suppose two suppliers quote a similar reception wall. One includes a player, commissioning and staff training; the other lists cabinets and a controller. Ask the second supplier how scheduled content will run and who supplies the missing work. Ask the first supplier to explain software ownership and the update process. The clarification should produce a complete operational offer from both, not an assumption that either headline price tells the whole story.
Next, give both suppliers a visitor timetable and a brand video. Request a demonstration of readable information and the daily content-update task. If either changes the proposed model after testing, ask whether the new configuration still meets the brief. This sequence links the technical and commercial comparison to the business need and helps prevent a purchasing decision based on an impressive but irrelevant showroom loop.
Close the RFQ with a clear next step
State the response deadline, clarification contact and expected survey or demonstration stage. Keep all bidders working from the same revised brief when a material requirement changes. Preserve the final accepted equipment list and exclusions with the order. A well-written RFQ cannot eliminate every project risk, but it can make assumptions visible and ensure that the buyer and supplier are discussing the same complete system.
To discuss a Leyard display with Mustang Communications, send a project enquiry containing the purpose, location, viewing task and available dimensions. Ask for a model-specific response using the sections above. The result should be a proposal your team can evaluate, coordinate and eventually test, rather than a generic quotation detached from the way the screen will actually be used.
