Most of the people who are good at profreading/correction are probably enjoying Christmas or Hanukkah with their families. You'll need to be patient.

Happy holiday.

This is a request for a purchase of an item.
You should be clear about the points you wish to convey to the management first - the type of switch you are referring to (including the brand which I presume is 'Sony') and where it is to be used. I thought a switch is device which goes on or off and cannot understand how it can 'restart on its own'. Do you mean it cannot be switched off? The management may not understand the technical details of the item.
State the full name of the supplier, GRP.
Is the item only available from GRP and not other suppliers? Is the price reasonable from the particular supplier?

Request for the Purchase of 'Sony' Networking Switch

The networking switch used in xxx Branch is malfunctioning and needs to be replaced.

We wish to recommend that the item be purchased from GRP, which are one of our regular IT suppliers and are the sole distributor for SONY products. We attach here a quotation from GRP for the item for your information. We look forward to your approval.

Thank you very much.

Then add "They are the only authorized dealer and we already have a maintenance contract with them". You posted almost the correct sentences yourself.

You have to get the item from them if they are the sole distributor, not just an authorized dealer. There could be other authorized dealers, in which case, price would be the deciding factor.

Having a maintenance contract with them is not a good reason to buy from them, is it? ;-)
