Claiming price of supplied equipment without confirming the order

Q: Hello, I hope all is well. I have an events company and a supplier has given me a quotation for a wedding free of charge with a design without asking for charges. The wedding had a lot of planning hiccups so it was dragged along but I promised to try to give it to him if it’s possible but had not confirmed either verbally or on a signed agreement. And till 2 weeks ago I told him I will need to use a local supplier rather than him but if I needed more equipment I would tell him and he replied by saying please do send me a list if u require anything. However, there is no signed agreement and the quotation was for 1.7 million dollars and there’s no agreement with him and the wedding is November 8-9, so I am sure he knew he wasn’t getting it. Is he allowed to file a case based on nothing written and signed because we all know no supplier works on anything without signed contract and deposit and that’s in every contract?
