How long should a Qatar quotation stay valid?

Fifteen to thirty days is typical. Shorten it where imported materials or freight rates drive your cost base, and say so in the pricing-basis note.

Should I show VAT on a Qatari quotation?

No — Qatar applies no general VAT, so quote net prices. Note separately any duties or contract levies the client will bear.

Do quotations need to be in Arabic?

English is accepted commercially, but tenders and ministry submissions often require Arabic. DocMak generates a bilingual document from the same content.

What is the difference between a quotation and a proforma invoice here?

The quotation is your commercial offer for evaluation; the proforma is the payment-ready version a buyer or bank uses to release an advance or open a letter of credit.

Qatar Quotation Maker — Price Offers Doha Buyers Can Approve

A quotation in Qatar is usually read by two people: an engineer checking the scope and a procurement officer checking the commercial terms. DocMak lays out both sides — itemised scope, exclusions, validity, payment milestones and your licence details — in Qatari Riyal, ready to send as a clean PDF the same day the enquiry arrives.

What a competitive Qatari quotation includes

Qatari main contractors and semi-government buyers compare offers line by line, and an offer that omits terms tends to get normalised downward during negotiation. Spelling out what is and is not included protects your margin more than shaving the rate does.

Scope broken into priced items, not a single lump sum
Clear exclusions: permits, cranage, out-of-hours work, client-supplied materials
Validity period and pricing basis for materials that move with freight
Payment terms and any advance or retention percentage
Delivery or completion programme in working days
Your commercial registration and TIN for the vendor record

Quoting for tenders and semi-government buyers

Tender packs from ministries, Qatar Energy supply chains and Lusail developers often prescribe the format and require Arabic alongside English. Build the offer once in DocMak and export the bilingual version rather than rewriting it — and keep the same reference number when you resubmit a revision, with the revision marked, so the evaluation team can see what changed.

Turning an approved quotation into the rest of the paperwork

When the client says yes, the quotation should become a proforma or an invoice without retyping. DocMak carries the client, currency, line items and reference forward, so your numbering stays consistent across the set — which is what buyers reconcile against the purchase order at payment stage.
