Project references

Visual scope of procurement · evaluation

Suggested weights

Price 30%, delivery & on-time record 20%, references in your region 20%, warranty & spare-parts availability 15%, technical capability 15%. Adjust to project risk profile.

Reference checks

Ask each finalist for three references in a similar climate and capacity — and actually call them. Ask about downtime, spares lead times and warranty responsiveness.

Financial due diligence

Request audited accounts for the last two years, especially for turnkey EPC awards. Dun & Bradstreet reports are cheap insurance.

After-sales network

Verify local service partner presence, spare-parts warehouse location, and average response time. This decides your uptime for the next decade.
