Define the requirement before booking
Interpreting quotations are comparable only when they cover the same scope. Review language pair, format, interpreter count, hours, preparation, equipment, travel, accommodation, tax, overtime and rescheduling terms. A lower total may omit items essential to delivery.

Agree the assignment scope
Two proposals both state one conference day. One includes two interpreters and receivers; the other includes one person only. Normalising cost lines prevents the client from selecting an under-resourced plan.
Enquiry checklist
- Send date, time, venue or online platform and participant count.
