Procurement

ENGlobal has an experienced staff of purchasing personnel who are skilled at obtaining the best value for our clients. Our staff has performed total project purchasing including accounts payable as part of procurement services on numerous projects. In order to determine the functional responsibilities of procurement, ENGlobal first considers the size, scope, and complexity of the project, then evaluates quality, price, delivery, and reliability. Our procurement process ensures that equipment and materials are provided at the lowest cost to meet budget, contractual, schedule, and quality requirements. Payables have been handled through advances, third-party (zero balance) bank accounts, and through ENGlobal as a
supplier (OEM).

We offer the following services:

•	Inquiries and Preparation of Request For Quotations
•	Pre-Bid Meetings
•	Bid Analysis and Recommendations
•	Prepare and Issue Purchase Orders
•	Expedite Orders
•	Make Progressive and Final Payments
•	Shop and Field Inspections
•	Tracking and Reporting

ENGlobal's project engineers are responsible for preparing, approving, and submitting a bill of material and requisition to the Purchasing department. The purchasing department then prepares and issues all request for quotations, purchase orders and requisition numbers.

All equipment and materials will be procured from approved vendors on ENGlobal’s Qualified Vendor List (QVL). The purpose of this QVL is to provide the best value and highest quality of materials for ENGlobal and our clients. 

Our personnel are experienced expediters and work hard to ensure all purchased items are delivered by the promised dates in order to maintain project schedules. Purchasing is responsible for preparing and updating a Material Expediting Status Report to track the status of material through delivery and installation. ENGlobal project managers utilize this report and other means to monitor progress, review equipment deliveries, and validate the project schedule.

Quality inspections will be performed during the project to assure compliance with project requirements and specifications. These inspections are normally performed in the manufacturer’s facilities and may be in-progress or final inspections. The Quality Assurance Manager will prepare a Certificate of Inspection for submission to the client.
