The quotes: [textarea: Paste each one, with totals and whatever is itemised] What I asked them for: [textarea: The brief you gave] How I found them, and impressions: [textarea: References, reviews, gut feel] Payment terms requested: [textarea: Deposits and stage payments] Normalise them onto the same scope first, because the price gap is usually exclusions rather than value. Then: what each one leaves out and would charge as an extra. Anything odd in the payment terms, particularly a large deposit up front. Whether the cheapest is cheap for a reason. End with the questions to put to each of them and what I should have in writing before anyone starts.
