Equipment Sourcing from China

Service overview

Two machines with the same headline capacity may need different utilities, foundations or maintenance arrangements. We coordinate manufacturer information so equipment selection can account for the whole operating package. Manufacturer identity, capabilities and proposed scope need project-specific verification; a shortlist is not a guarantee of supplier performance.

What we provide

• Translate process duties into an RFQ with measurable requirements.
• Coordinate supplier identification and technical clarification.
• Compare equipment, accessories, documentation, warranty scope and service arrangements.

Who we support

Factory owners, project procurement managers and EPC contractors.

Typical requirements

These inputs establish the review basis. Record unavailable information as an open action rather than an assumed fact.

• Product or process description, capacity and operating schedule.
• Site utility conditions, available space and interfaces.
• Destination, delivery assumptions and required inspection or test evidence.

Equipment & technical considerations

Identify whether the offer comes from a manufacturer or intermediary.

Agree test conditions and responsibility for non-conforming results before order.

Clarify delivery terms with the buyer’s logistics and import advisers.

Working process

1. Define the duty and acceptance basis.
2. Identify and screen potential suppliers.
3. Compare technical offers and exclusions.
4. Coordinate agreed documentation and procurement handover.

Typical deliverables

Agree the required depth, review responsibilities and issue dates for each deliverable before work begins.

• Equipment RFQ and supplier information checklist
• Like-for-like technical comparison
• Clarification register and agreed supply boundary
