Procurement & contracting governance
Running defensible procurement and commercial processes on behalf of owners
Procurement failures rarely stem from a lack of market interest, but from weak enquiry definition, inconsistent tender management or poorly aligned commercial structures. TacminMadini acts on behalf of asset owners to govern and, where mandated, execute procurement and contracting processes from enquiry development through to contract award. We bring disciplined structure to tendering, adjudication and agreement drafting, ensuring decisions are evidence-based, board-defensible and positioned to perform through delivery rather than transfer hidden risk back to owners.
OUR FOCUS AREAS
Tender and enquiry development
Establishing clear, executable foundations
Why it matters | Poorly defined enquiries and tender documents create ambiguity, distort pricing and prevent meaningful comparison. This allows hidden risk, scope gaps and unrealistic assumptions to pass into contract award. |
Our focus | We prepare clear, complete and executable enquiry and tender documentation on behalf of asset owners. Scope, pricing mechanisms, interfaces and performance requirements are defined rigorously to support genuine competition and transparent evaluation across contractors and OEMs. |
Outcome | Market-ready tender documentation that attracts capable bidders, enables defensible comparison and reduces downstream ambiguity, claims and rework. |
Market engagement & tender management
Running disciplined, transparent tender processes
Why it matters | Uncontrolled tender processes undermine probity and consistency. Incomplete information flow and unmanaged bidder interaction weaken confidence in outcomes and increase dispute risk. |
Our focus | We manage bidder briefings, site visits, tender presentations, clarifications and addenda, maintaining probity and consistent information throughout the tender period. Engagement is structured to surface real capability, pricing realism and delivery understanding. |
Outcome | Well-managed tender processes that provide clear visibility of cost, capability and risk, supporting confident and defensible appointment decisions. |
Adjudication & board recommendations
Turning submissions into defensible decisions
Why it matters | Tender decisions that rely on headline price or incomplete evaluation expose owners to cost overruns, disputes and delivery failure. Weak adjudication undermines board confidence and accountability. |
Our focus | We lead structured adjudications across price, capability, risk and delivery alignment. Submissions are tested rigorously, assumptions and qualifications are challenged, and outcomes are translated into clear, board-ready recommendations with transparent risk visibility. |
Outcome | Defensible contractor and OEM appointments that withstand scrutiny and protect decision-makers, capital and delivery outcomes. |
Commercial agreement drafting & negotiation
Contracts that perform in execution
Why it matters | Agreements that are legally complete but operationally disconnected create misaligned incentives, unclear accountability and dispute risk once delivery begins. |
Our focus | We draft and negotiate commercial agreements across EPCM, EPC, LSTK, ATC, cost-reimbursable and hybrid models. Risk allocation, incentives and obligations are aligned with execution reality, and commercial intent is carried through into delivery governance. |
Outcome | Fit-for-purpose agreements that support predictable execution, minimise disputes and protect owner value through delivery and close-out. |
