Scenario: Year-End Software Purchasing Meeting
Emma (Procurement Manager):
Since we’re approaching the end of the fiscal year, we need to finalize our software purchases as soon as possible.
David (IT Manager):
I agree. I’ve compared three vendors, and their pricing structures are quite different.
Emma:
Which option fits our remaining budget best?
David:
Vendor B offers a volume discount, but their delivery timeline is longer than expected.
Emma:
That could be a problem. We need deployment before the end of December.
David:
Vendor A can deliver immediately, but their quotation exceeds our budget.
Emma:
Have you tried negotiating a year-end discount?
David:
Yes. They’re willing to lower the price if we sign a two-year contract.
Emma:
That sounds reasonable. Does the package include customer support?
David:
Yes, support is included, which adds value to the offer.
Emma:
Alright. Please request a revised quotation in writing.
David:
I’ll contact the vendor today and confirm the delivery schedule.
