SES Groups · Tender support
We help owners, EPC contractors and OEMs buy critical equipment: lots and supplier long lists, pre-qualification audits, request for quotation packs, technical bid evaluation and award. The requirements we write into your tenders are the ones our inspectors then check at the factory.
Most quality problems on critical equipment are bought, not built: a vague specification, an ITP agreed after award, a supplier whose shop was never seen. We close those gaps before the purchase order is signed.
Clause-by-clause compliance matrix in the RFQ, so deviations are declared and priced in the bid, not discovered at FAT.
Hold and witness points, tests and acceptance criteria go into the RFQ. Bidders price them, and there are no extras after award.
Our inspectors audit test benches, welding shops and quality teams every week. Pre-qualification is based on what we see, not only on certificates.
SES Groups takes no commission from any manufacturer. Our recommendation is based on your scoring grid only.
We can run the whole process, or only the steps your procurement team needs.
Split the scope into lots, rank them A, B, C by criticality, and work back from the required-on-site dates to a procurement schedule.
International and regional manufacturers for each lot, with capacity, references, lead times and country risk.
Questionnaire, ISO 9001, ISO 3834 and type test certificates, then a factory audit by our inspectors for every class A lot.
Specification and datasheets, scope and battery limits, ITP, VDRL, quality requirements, packing rules and commercial bid form.
Bidder questions, technical queries, factory visits and addenda, so every bid answers the same scope.
Compliance matrix, deviations, quality plan, lead time and references, scored on a grid agreed with you before bids open.
Ranked recommendation, closing of open deviations and quality clauses for the purchase order.
Pre-inspection meeting with the awarded supplier and ITP signed. Our expediting engineer sets the delivery milestones, then inspection and expediting start with the same team.
The same method, adapted to what goes wrong most often in each market.
Generators, UPS, MV and LV switchgear, transformers, chillers
Towers, foundations, flanges, blades, cables, substation transformers
Pump and dosing skids, compressors, pressure vessels, valves, instruments
