Service overview
Procurement creates obligations that continue well beyond a purchase order. Drawings must arrive in time for foundations, utility information must reach the installation team, and shipment needs to match the site sequence. Our coordination scope is agreed with the buyer; purchase commitments and commercial approvals remain with the authorised contracting parties.
What we provide
- Develop a package schedule linking approvals, manufacture, testing and delivery.
- Track vendor drawings, utility data and document review responses.
- Coordinate inspection requirements, packing information and installation handover.

Frequently asked questions
Do you take over the purchase contract?
Only if a separate written arrangement expressly establishes that role. Coordination does not itself transfer the buyer’s contractual responsibilities.
Can support begin after an order is placed?
Yes. Share the order, specification and outstanding actions so the remaining obligations can be mapped.
