A brief they can quote.
Turn a reference link into a sourcing request with the information needed for comparison.

Describe the essentials
Separate requirements from preferences so a possible alternative can be assessed against the same specification.
[ ] Name the product and attach a reference link or clear images
[ ] List material, dimensions, variants and acceptable alternatives

Set the commercial context
The request form treats the target price as product cost excluding shipping. Use the destination and expected volume to make the brief useful.
[ ] State the target product cost separately from freight
[ ] Include the target market and expected monthly volume

Bring the brand into the brief
Packaging and logo choices can affect material quantities, lead time and the parcel. Include them from the beginning.
[ ] Describe packaging, protection and artwork requirements
[ ] List any sample questions or special handling needs

Review before committing
A quoted option still needs to match the requirement. Keep a record of the agreed product and the remaining questions.
[ ] Compare the specification, cost and any quantity requirements
[ ] Confirm the selected option and the next procurement step
