Procurement & mobilisation
Procurement you can trust. Mobilisation you can rely on.
Owners receive a disciplined procurement pathway that ensures every asset is specified in line with governed requirements, sourced from qualified suppliers, configured correctly, and delivered prepared for commissioning. Acting as an independent procurement authority, BlauForge manages supplier engagement, commercial conditions, logistics and configuration control with full transparency. The outcome is a procurement and mobilisation phase that protects value, reduces risk and maintains schedule certainty well before assets reach site.
What's involved - Procurement & Mobilisation
Where disciplined oversight ensures OEMs supply exactly what the operation requires.
Why it matters | Even reputable OEMs can supply incorrect configurations or incomplete packages if specifications aren’t tightly governed. Misalignment here causes major downstream issues, including wrong options, missing safety features, or non-compliant equipment entering the country. |
Our focus | BlauForge manages all supplier engagement, validates specifications against the approved fleet model, and ensures OEM quotations, build sheets, and technical submissions match operational requirements. We act on behalf of the customer, not the supplier, ensuring the equipment requested is the equipment delivered. |
Outcome | OEMs supply correctly configured assets, specification risk is removed, and procurement proceeds on a controlled, verified foundation. |
Where procurement contracts are structured to protect lifecycle performance and financial exposure.
Why it matters | Contract terms determine warranty coverage, service response, cost transparency and the level of support available throughout the asset’s lifecycle. Poorly governed commercial agreements can leave owners exposed to hidden cost escalations, limited recourse in the event of failure, and long-term performance risk that undermines operational certainty and financial planning. |
Our focus | We negotiate and govern commercial terms, warranty obligations and service provisions to ensure lifecycle expectations are embedded contractually and aligned with operational intent. This protects cost, mitigates risk and secures clear support conditions long after delivery, providing owners with confidence that equipment performance and service commitments remain enforceable throughout the asset’s life. |
Outcome | Contracts reinforce lifecycle performance, safeguard cost exposure, and protect the owner’s commercial position. |
Where equipment is prepared for a clean handover into commissioning.
Why it matters | If documentation is incomplete, warranties aren’t registered, or critical spares are missing, commissioning stalls and early performance risk increases. Poor handover control compromises reliability before operation even begins. |
Our focus | We coordinate logistics, import requirements, configuration control and readiness protocols to ensure assets arrive assembled, compliant and aligned with commissioning plans. Operator enablement and safety onboarding are integrated to reduce early-life disruption. |
Outcome | A seamless transition into commissioning, with every asset documented, registered, validated, and ready for structured product-first testing. |
