Quotations are requested where the value of goods and/or services is less than $150,000. Tenders, as a rule are called for contracts in excess of $150,000. Every business has to give its customers prices for its products or services.

While Tender is the large document which contains all specific and general terms and conditions (it is more like a contract wherein it has clauses and sections).
Quotation is a part of the tender and it just includes the statement which sets the prices for a particular work for which the tender is called for.
The Tender is called by the Gov/Organisation/Company for some work whereas Quotation is estimated cost which will be incurred, submitted by the bidder to these institutions which call the tender
