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
PROCUREMENT
WITHOUT GAPS.
A structured checklist for international oil and gas sourcing and project supply enquiries.
State approved-vendor constraints
If the project limits manufacturers, countries of origin or certifications, include those restrictions before commercial sourcing begins.
Define inspection requirements
Identify inspection plans, witness points, third-party inspection and required testing early so they are reflected in the supply route.
List the documentation package
Material certificates, test reports, drawings, manuals, data books and traceability expectations should be part of the RFQ rather than an afterthought.
Align the commercial basis
Quantity, currency, Incoterm or delivery basis, quotation validity and packaging requirements should be clear enough for comparable offers.
Connect procurement to the schedule
State destination, required-on-site date and project milestones so lead time, inspection and logistics can be reviewed together.
