Post one request for quotation. It reaches every verified supplier of those materials. Quotes are compared on the total cost to your site gate, and your money stays in escrow until the site confirms delivery.
Sheffield wins on total value: landed price, on-time record, lead time and terms. The cheapest quote ranks last: unverified, no delivery, 100% upfront.
List coded materials, the site and the date you need them on site. Takes about three minutes.
Only verified suppliers in that category see it. Lintel waits for at least three quotes.
Every quote is scored on landed cost, on-time record, lead time and terms, not just price.
Card or bank transfer. The money is held until your site team confirms delivery.
Site confirms quantity and spec. The supplier is paid out, minus Lintel's 2.5% fee.
Buyers see exactly why a quote ranks where it does. Suppliers see their rank and what would move it. The weights below are the demo defaults; admins can tune them per category.
Line total plus delivery to the site gate. Ex-works prices get our haulage estimate added.
Share of the supplier's past Lintel deliveries confirmed on time by site teams.
Full marks if it lands before your need-by date; minus 15 points per day late.
Verified company (Companies House, VAT, insurance) and payment terms.
Stripe Connect holds the buyer's payment and transfers to the supplier's connected account only after site confirmation.
Admins check Companies House number, VAT registration and insurance before a supplier can quote.
The site team confirms quantity and spec on their phone. Short deliveries open a dispute instead of releasing funds.
Every line carries a material code (LN-STL-B12), so suppliers price exactly what was asked.
An RFQ isn't evaluated until three verified suppliers have quoted, so buyers always have a real comparison.
