Procurement
Procurement is the spine of every project we ship. We pre-qualify vendors, source new genuine OEM equipment, inspect at origin, manage logistics, and document every step.
How we work
Our procurement organisation is built around two things: authenticity and speed. We work with authorized distributors of major manufacturers in China and globally, and we audit every shipment with a documented inspection process before goods leave the factory.
For project work we operate vendor pre-qualification, expediting, inspection-at-origin with third-party witnesses (SGS, TÜV, Bureau Veritas, Intertek), cost optimisation, and full-trace documentation across the supply chain.
What you receive.
Common questions about Procurement.
How do you guarantee OEM authenticity?+
We source from authorised distributors only — no grey-market channels, no parallel imports, no refurbished-as-new. Every shipment carries the manufacturer's certificate of origin and authenticity, serial-number traceability, and our written authenticity guarantee. Inspection at origin is welcomed and we have hosted Aramco, ADNOC, KOC and several IOC inspection teams at supplier factories.
Can you handle FAT and SAT?+
Yes. Factory acceptance tests are typically witnessed at the manufacturer's works with third-party inspection agencies (SGS, TÜV, Bureau Veritas, Intertek) plus your engineering representative. Site acceptance tests are part of commissioning scope if we have the full lifecycle. Procurement and commissioning teams coordinate the test specs so SAT doesn't surface issues that should have been caught at FAT.
What logistics routes do you handle?+
Sea via Jebel Ali, Jeddah, Umm Qasr, Damietta, Aqaba and the Mediterranean ports for Algeria and Morocco. Air via Dubai, Doha, Riyadh, Baghdad and Cairo for urgent spares and small high-value items. Overland via Turkey, Jordan and Kuwait into Iraq. We hold our own forwarder relationships in each corridor and the customs documentation is part of the procurement scope.
What are your standard payment terms?+
LC at sight or TT against shipping documents for project work; wire on smaller spares orders. For multi-year operators we set up framework agreements with milestone billing and volume discounts. Specific terms are calibrated against the operator's procurement policy and the country's trade-finance environment.
How fast on a typical RFQ?+
Written quotation within 24 hours for items already on file. For complex BoMs (1,000+ line items) or items requiring vendor consultation, typically 3-5 business days. We send a confirmation of receipt with an indicative response time within the first business hour so the procurement team can plan.
Do you operate vendor pre-qualification?+
Yes — an annual audit cycle for our supply base covering financial health, quality systems, capacity, sanctions screening. The pre-qualification record is shareable with operators on request. New vendors enter through a formal onboarding process before they can fulfil a project order, with renewal audits annually.
