Vendor Approval, Inspection and Expediting

You have no doubt been there, had a project delayed or stopped due to lack of materials or wrong delivery. Even something as simple as wrong certification. It's easily done – and extremely frustrating. Now imagine that being someone else's responsibility. Give the procurement to the QEM Solutions team. We have the experience and skills needed to manage your procurement. We can ensure that there are no extended costs and delays due to incorrect permanent materials orders. We are experts in crossing T's and dotting I's. And we only provide competent engineers. Engineers that know what needs to be done and when. This process is one major, critical step in construction and if managed badly can be highly costly to the client / contractor.

  • Development of design datasheets.

  • Development of comprehensive procurement schedule. 
  • Selection of potential vendors from approved supplier list. 
  • Prepare enquiry letters and design packs for potential suppliers/subcontractors. 
  • Review of tender submissions from suppliers and development of bid analysis. 
  • Review QA/QC documentation (PQP, ITP etc) for compliance. 
  • Development of purchase orders in conjunction with the design. 
  • Carry out vendor inspections at supplier premises to authenticate compliance with relevant standards. 
  • Review and acceptance of vendor certification packages prior to release of goods.
