What is the difference between Tender and Quotation?
VoiD
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
