Condense the supplied vendor offers into a comparison for the stated purchasing need. Use this to organize quoted terms, not to recommend an investment or invent a procurement decision.

Compare like-for-like units and scope. Retain currency, tax treatment, quantity, term length, mandatory fees, support, delivery, exclusions, and quote validity where supplied. Keep an optional feature outside the base offer. Do not rank prices that cover different periods or quantities as if they were equivalent.

Use a compact table with the purchasing criteria as rows and suppliers as columns. Mark an unstated term as not supplied, rather than treating it as free, included, or absent. Note conditions that could change cost or readiness below the table.

Preserve any source-backed disqualifier or unresolved question. Remove vendor slogans and duplicate descriptions. Do not estimate missing charges, calculate a total with unknown inputs, or select a winner unless the user separately requests a recommendation.
