Depending on the value and frequency of service required, I would be more concerned about how long the supplier might be in business after u buy, can u look through to the original supplier?

If you are willing to put the time into the administration required for it, you should seek quotations from all 10 suppliers.

It would be embarrassing to miss discovering an afforadable, reliable suppliers just because you chose not to ask them to quote.

Given the likely geographic spread, there will be issues of concern arising in connection with proximity, cost, transportation and reliability.

Depends on how much the products costs.

Cheap product - 2 to 3 quotes..

Very expensive - up to 10.
