Buyer context
If the project requires confidentiality arrangements, request that discussion before sending restricted documents. Agree the receiving legal entity, authorised recipients and document exchange method. A statement about confidentiality on a website is not a replacement for the agreement required by the parties.
Putting it into the enquiry
When documents are exchanged, identify the current revision and keep a record of what was shared. Remove unrelated personal information and avoid placing technical secrets in free-text fields that are intended only to start a commercial conversation.
What to confirm
- Non-sensitive initial scope
- NDA and receiving entity where required
- Document revision and authorised recipients
Should I upload a restricted drawing to a public form?
Use the exchange process approved for your project. Start with a non-sensitive enquiry when the permitted channel has not yet been agreed.
