This is a three year contract where you have been somewhat satisfied with your current supplier. Your supervisor has asked you to review 2 additional suppliers to determine the best fit. You have several areas that you would like to evaluate, price- which is your primary concern, style- attempting to keep current- your second most concern, robustness- to handle the wear and tear of students and finally customer service- which is your lowest concern but still a consideration.
The three suppliers are as follows, and have responded to your four points above;
Company A-
