Procurement handled as an engineering problem
A vendor deviation buried in a technical annexe becomes a site problem eighteen months later. Someone has to read those documents properly.
On a plant project, most of the value is bought rather than built in-house. The quality of that buying depends on whether the specifications were written tightly, whether the bids were compared on the same basis, and whether anyone checked what the vendor actually promised against what was asked for.
We do that review with the engineers who wrote the specification, so a clarification round resolves a technical question rather than passing it down the line. The same team then manages the interfaces between packages, which is where schedule usually slips.
Inside the scope
Procurement support
Scope-of-work definition, technical specifications and tender packages for every equipment package on the project.
Vendor management
Technical bid evaluation, vendor document review, clarification rounds and factory acceptance testing.
Logistics strategy
Delivery sequencing tied to the construction schedule, with interface and risk management across packages.
Where we have done it
Vendor assessment, technical document review and procurement support delivered inside greenfield and brownfield programmes on four continents, with schedule control in Primavera P6 or MS Project and interface management across process, civil, electrical and automation disciplines.
