🧩 If the parties do not
jointly break down the responsibilities and rights, the risk of delays
and costs caused by various deviations increases—potentially leading to
the entire project execution being delayed.

🧩This requires a lot communication between many stakeholders, where
Procurement can be considered both as the Catalyst and Glue between the
Project, Site team, Subcontractors and in brownfield investments, most
important, involving the End-user team.

Below one basic checklist for Procurement to prepare Supply & Install
Contract implementation for Capital Investment Projects:

3. HSE & Security

4. Schedule & Payment

✅ Linked milestones & payment terms✅ Liquidated damages for delays✅ Progress reporting and recovery plans

5. Quality & Inspections

✅ QA/QC procedures and standards✅ Testing FAT, SAT, and site inspections included✅ Non-conformance handling process

6. Risk & Liability
