The salary which you are getting for Grade 12 salary compared to the QP standards is in the lower range. You can bargain for atleast 13000 QR. You didnt mention anything about the accommodation ? Here part of your salary goes in paying the rent. Just confirm whether its accomodation allowance or if they are giving you family accomodation. Accommodation allowance wud be better..coz thats where all QP employees save a lot..
