Travel & Expense RFQ Template
Running an RFQ for travel & expense without a category-tuned template usually ends in three suppliers answering three different questions. This page gives you a template built specifically for travel & expense, so every quote lands on the same grid and comparison is trivial.
T&E is the most fragmented indirect spend — dozens of suppliers, hundreds of policies, and near-zero leverage without a program. That's why the template pre-loads the fields buyers most often forget — and forces suppliers to answer them.
Out-of-policy bookings, ancillary fees and rebate-eligible spend routed off-program leak 15–25%. SourcingHub's AI generates the RFQ document, sends it, and — when quotes come back — normalizes them into a side-by-side comparison automatically.
Fields every Travel & Expense rfq template should cover
- Air, hotel, ground volume by market
- Preferred supplier compliance %
- Booking channel (OBT vs TMC vs open)
- Negotiated rates and dynamic discounts
- Class-of-service and policy adherence
- Card program rebate and data quality

An RFQ locks the specification and asks for price on identical scope. An RFI gathers capability data; an RFP asks suppliers to propose their own approach. Use an RFQ once you know exactly what you need.
No. Each supplier receives a private link and only sees their own quote. When quotes come back, SourcingHub is where you compare them side by side.
