TMA - Design & Procurement

Predictive governance insight before commitments harden

Design & Procurement Intelligence

Turning approved feasibility intent into governed commitments that protect owner accountability

Approved feasibility establishes what the project is expected to deliver. Design and procurement translate that intent into defined scope, commercial structures and contractual commitments. This is the stage where flexibility reduces rapidly and exposure begins to harden. TMA provides owner-side governance intelligence by maintaining forward visibility over whether design development and procurement decisions remain aligned with the outcomes approved at feasibility as commitments are formed. Operating above designers, contractors and advisors, it enables early recognition of emerging divergence between approved intent and contractual reality, while corrective options remain available.

Purpose and Intent

To determine whether design development and procurement decisions are likely to preserve the capital, cost, schedule and production outcomes approved at feasibility as contractual and commercial commitments are established.

Focus and Scope

Focus and Scope

TMA focuses on the alignment between approved feasibility intent and emerging design and procurement commitments, including:

  • scope definition and design maturity relative to approved assumptions
  • procurement strategy and packaging decisions
  • allocation of risk, incentives and accountabilities
  • pricing structures and cost certainty mechanisms
  • schedule commitments embedded in contracts
  • consistency between feasibility assumptions and contractual obligations

The focus is not on directing design or procurement, but on whether emerging commitments are likely to support the approved outcomes.
