REQUEST FOR QUOTATION – KILN-DRIED OAK TIMBER / LONG-TERM SUPPLY
We are looking for a direct oak timber manufacturer / sawmill / wood processing company in Romania capable of supplying a long-term industrial customer in the United Kingdom.
The opportunity involves an estimated requirement of approximately 97.3 m³ per month, with potential for a long-term supply agreement.
Current Specification
Species: European Oak
Thickness: 18 mm
Grade: approximately 15 A / 85 AB
Length: 2.2–4.2 metres
Monthly volume: approximately 97.3 m³
Annual volume: approximately 1,168 m³
Destination: United Kingdom
Supply: long-term / recurring
Pricing
The customer39;s current purchasing benchmark is approximately €550/m³.
We are looking for a competitive direct-from-manufacturer quotation, with the objective of achieving a meaningful reduction against the current benchmark.
For a genuine like-for-like comparison, pricing will be assessed taking into account:
Timber grade and sorting;
Final moisture content;
Dimensional tolerances;
Kiln-drying requirements;
Packaging;
Loading;
Transport to the UK;
Any other costs associated with the supply.
Information Required
Interested manufacturers are requested to provide:
1. Indicative price in €/m³;
2. Available monthly production capacity;
3. Kiln-drying capacity;
4. Guaranteed moisture content;
5. Grading and sorting specification;
6. Available lengths;
7. Minimum order quantity;
8. Production lead time;
9. Previous experience exporting to the UK and/or EU;
10. Available delivery terms, including EXW / FCA / DAP, where applicable.
Preferred Supplier
Direct manufacturers and sawmills are strongly preferred.
We are particularly interested in companies with the capacity to supply approximately 100 m³ per month consistently, rather than suppliers focused only on occasional or spot orders.
There is also potential for future requirements involving:
PAR oak timber;
14 mm and 16 mm finished thickness;
widths from 100 mm to 200 mm in 25 mm increments;
further machining and processing;
volume production of finished oak products.
This could therefore develop into a significant long-term supply relationship, rather than a one-off purchase.
Manufacturers interested in discussing the opportunity are invited to contact us with their company profile, production capabilities and indicative pricing.
Purchase of hardwood firewood (beech, hornbeam, oak, acacia):
- wood with healthy core, without mold, rot
- no knotty wood with twisted fiber or wood roots that require heavy processing
- cut to 0.4 - 0.5m length at the buyer`s premises
- cutting and transport must be included in the price.
