Ever thought the Engineer didn't want to waste time on your project and over-quoted hoping you would go elsewhere. In my industry it happens a lot. One job i quoted for $5,000. was quoted by another person for $50,000.00. It happens. Same goes for a lot of one off, unless you have real intention of mass producing there is a lot of engineering companies that will over quote because they don't want to do it.
Irrespective engineering is more expensive than production and usually 3 times more at a minimum. If you got a quote for 100 units then you could be in competition with the UK supplier.
