Lock the technical scope
Use issued specifications, datasheets, line lists, drawings and tag references so the sourcing process starts from controlled project information. Record revision status and project references where they are available.
ENGINEERING KNOWLEDGE / OIL & GAS
A structured checklist for international oil and gas sourcing and project supply enquiries.
Use issued specifications, datasheets, line lists, drawings and tag references so the sourcing process starts from controlled project information. Record revision status and project references where they are available.
If the project limits manufacturers, countries of origin or certifications, include those restrictions before commercial sourcing begins.
Identify inspection plans, witness points, third-party inspection and required testing early so they are reflected in the supply route.
Material certificates, test reports, drawings, manuals, data books and traceability expectations should be part of the RFQ rather than an afterthought.
Quantity, currency, Incoterm or delivery basis, quotation validity and packaging requirements should be clear enough for comparable offers.
State destination, required-on-site date and project milestones so lead time, inspection and logistics can be reviewed together.
