Procurement and supply chain
Streamlining resources for efficient project execution
Many mining and infrastructure projects lose time, value, and control because procurement decisions are based on incomplete benchmarking, supplier-driven pricing, or fragmented supply chain visibility. TacminMadini’s Procurement and Supply Chain Management services remove these blind spots by integrating shadow bidding, disciplined sourcing, transparent cost structures, and ESG-aligned practices into a single, high-performance procurement framework. Supported by advanced digital oversight and strong supplier partnerships, we optimise cost, mitigate risk, improve delivery certainty, and strengthen sustainability outcomes across the entire project lifecycle — particularly in emerging markets and logistically constrained regions.
OUR FOCUS AREAS
Creating independent cost baselines to secure fair, defendable commercial outcomes
Are you evaluating contractor and supplier pricing against evidence — or accepting cost structures you cannot verify? |
| Many organisations assess tenders without a reliable internal benchmark, leaving them exposed to inflated pricing, hidden margins, and misaligned commercial assumptions. |
| Shadow bidding establishes a transparent, first-principles cost baseline independent of supplier influence. This allows us to test tendered rates, expose gaps, identify savings, and strengthen negotiation leverage. Proven across emerging markets, shadow bidding has become a core safeguard that ensures competitive pricing and protects long-term value. |
Streamlining procurement across the full project lifecycle
Do your procurement processes give you real-time visibility — or are delays, cost drift, and unclear accountability slowing delivery? |
| Traditional procurement often lacks integration, making it difficult to track performance, validate compliance, or control costs across multiple suppliers. |
| We manage vendor selection, tendering, negotiations, and delivery using structured processes supported by digital tools for real-time tracking and reporting. This transparent, disciplined approach ensures that goods and services arrive on time, meet specification, and remain within budget throughout the project lifecycle. |
Optimising logistics and material flow for reliable, on-schedule delivery
Is your supply chain resilient enough to support continuous operations — or vulnerable to bottlenecks, long lead times, and avoidable delays? |
| Weak supply chain integration can create cascading disruptions that affect production schedules, inventory levels, and overall project cost. |
| TacminMadini works closely with contractors, manufacturers, and logistics providers to synchronise every element of the supply chain. By applying industry best practices, we minimise lead times, protect quality, and maintain a predictable flow of materials that supports steady project progress. |
Embedding ESG, governance, and digital oversight into procurement
Are your procurement decisions aligned with environmental and social standards — or exposing the project to future compliance and reputational risk? |
| Without embedded ESG controls, procurement can unintentionally breach sustainability expectations or regulatory frameworks. |
| We integrate PMBOK-aligned governance, AI-supported oversight, and sustainability principles into every phase: estimation, sourcing, contractor selection, and material procurement. This ensures each decision meets environmental, social, and governance standards while improving transparency, risk control, and long-term project credibility. |
Strengthening delivery through aligned supplier and contractor collaboration
Are your suppliers strategic partners in your success — or simply transactional vendors? |
| Projects gain predictable performance, cost stability, and resilience when suppliers share the same standards of quality and sustainability. |
| We develop strong partnerships with local and international suppliers who align with your project’s values and technical needs. These relationships enhance supply reliability, reduce commercial friction, and improve coordination across all project components. Strategic sourcing ensures value creation and consistent, high-quality delivery. |
