Procurement

One of the key success factors in any EPC Project is the timely acquisition of equipment and materials. Our Ge-Star’s Procurement team is trained to provide services in the managing of equipment and materials Procurement to their final on-site delivery, including storage and dispatch to Construction (C) representatives. The Procurement process integrated service from the Engineering (E) phase, delivery to Procurement (P), and dispatch to Construction (C) is monitored by means of cutting-edge information technology, which allows tracking of the whole Procurement (P) process including its plan, projected and actual executed procurement.

Our procurement team has extensive experience in the selection and contracting process of manufacturers and suppliers. This experience, combined with Ge-Star’s procedures and proven negotiation practices, make possible the handling of project needs with tight deadlines. The bottom line success of our Procurement team in projects stems from strategically establishing a procurement plan early on, where particular actions are set up by requirements, and where possible suppliers and/or contractors, budget, start-up dates, process duration (negotiations, allocation, manufacturing, transport) as well as the associated technical and commercial risks and their mitigation.

The control system of the procurement integration process, whether internally or inside the project, Engineering and Construction, is managed for the Materials Management team. This control system is also supported by internal functions such as contracts and purchasing, follow-up or expediting, inspections, traffic and logistics, and storage and dispatch of construction equipment.
