While process safety does not prohibit you from going for the least cost supplier, ensure that you do not create process safety problems due to inferior quality. Read the article in this link.

The observation of going for lowest cost L1 is correct. But, it should be read as TECHNICALLY LOWEST. This L1 is arrived after screening out the quotations where specifications do not match with that of the indentor.
