Quote against a written scope

We refine and format every request before it goes out, so you get the service, quantity, timeline and files in one place, ready to quote. Ask what’s missing in the thread before you price it. When the brand approves you to bid, you quote at your own numbers against the same scope as the other approved shops, usually three to five. Requests go to a short list of providers rather than being posted for everyone to bid on.
