EPC Procurement & Commercial Support
Owner-side procurement planning and technical-commercial evaluation for major energy and infrastructure EPC packages—so what you tender is what you intend to deliver.
Procurement and delivery models
EPC, EPCM, multi-contract and hybrid models allocate risk differently. TDTEC helps owners choose a model that matches project maturity, market capacity and internal capability—not simply copy a prior transaction.
Prior experience includes EPC commercial negotiation and delivery interfaces on large renewable and storage programmes. That background informs procurement strategy; legal contract form and execution remain with qualified legal advisers.
Employer requirements and risk allocation
Employer's requirements and technical schedules define the commercial envelope. TDTEC develops or reviews technical-commercial requirements so performance, testing, interfaces and limits of liability reflect engineering reality.
- Scope boundaries and interface matrices
- Performance, testing and commissioning hooks
- Technical schedules aligned to evaluation criteria
- Explicit owner-furnished equipment and data responsibilities
Tender evaluation and departures
Low headline price often hides scope gaps. TDTEC supports structured evaluation—compliance, technical merit, departures and risk-adjusted comparability—using matrices that directors and lenders can follow.
- Departure and exclusion registers per bidder
- Clarification strategy to flush ambiguities
- Integration with tender coordination on major RFPs
- Recommendation papers with residual risks stated plainly
Technical-commercial negotiation
Negotiation focuses on deliverables that affect energisation, performance and cost to complete: scope clarifications, schedule interfaces, testing, warranties and key commercial schedules tied to technical outcomes.
Legal drafting of contract terms is handled by legal advisers. TDTEC supports the owner on technical-commercial positions, evaluation of contractor proposals, and alignment between agreed scope and price.
Experience from owner-side and commercial negotiation roles on major energy projects informs negotiation planning—it is not cited as TDTEC contract signatory unless agreed for a specific mandate.
Handover into delivery
Procurement should set up execution: document issue, baseline schedule, governance and the owner's engineer or PMO interfaces. TDTEC can define handover packages and readiness criteria so construction starts with a shared baseline.
- Contract deliverable and milestone map
- Commissioning and performance verification hooks
- Interface with owner's engineer and design assurance
- Lessons captured for portfolio or phase-two procurement
Does TDTEC provide legal services or draft EPC contracts?
No. Legal advisers draft and interpret contract terms. TDTEC supports technical-commercial requirements, evaluation and negotiation positions on engineering and delivery matters.
Can you act as owner’s engineer during procurement?
Owner’s engineering is a related but distinct scope. Procurement support can align with owner’s engineer appointments where roles and independence are clearly separated and agreed.
Which packages do you typically support?
Balance of plant, electrical and grid connection packages, renewable and storage EPC scopes, and major HV or infrastructure works where technical-commercial risk is concentrated.
