Service 10 / 18 · Procurement & Vendor Management
Specify Better. Procure Smarter.
Procurement support turns the design into packages that vendors can price on the same basis. Bids are evaluated technically against the specification and URS, and deviations are resolved before award. Vendor documents are reviewed, and factory acceptance tests are witnessed before equipment ships.
