The cost x benefit. Do not discount the value of what each supplier is offering simply because its price is higher than that of other suppliers. Know how to analyze the cost-benefit of each one, maybe one is offering more time, more products, or additional resources that will save time and money later (and headaches). Understand what they are charging, sometimes the basic package will already meet all your needs. And also, never close a contract without evaluating whether this party supplier is going to be capable of meeting your needs on this important date.
