EMIS supports the commercial side of specialist procurement: budget pricing for specialist packages, RFQ comparison with commercially evaluated options, procurement strategy and programme planning, supplier commercial coordination, order and delivery reporting, and framework supply arrangements. This is procurement support, not a QS consultancy. From early budget figures through delivery reporting to close-out, one accountable contact keeps the commercial side of specialist supply organised and evidenced.
EMIS supports specialist procurement for marine, infrastructure and civil engineering projects procured under NEC3, NEC4, FIDIC and JCT contracts. We coordinate RFQ comparisons, supplier evaluations, budget pricing, procurement strategy, technical submissions and supply chain management, providing one accountable point of contact from enquiry through to delivery.
Working alongside your commercial, procurement and project teams, we help reduce procurement risk, improve programme certainty and deliver commercially informed procurement solutions. EMIS complements your quantity surveying, procurement and contract management functions, bringing the specialist supply chain expertise that underpins successful project delivery.
The advantages that a single accountable partner brings to this service.
Budget and cost planning for specialist packages draws on daily contact with the supply market, so planning figures reflect real pricing and lead times rather than an aged rate book.
Quotation and tender-support pricing is built from vetted-supplier quotations, giving bid teams supportable figures for specialist packages instead of provisional allowances.
Package status is reported against the procurement programme, ordered, in manufacture, delivered, so the project team plans from facts, not chasing calls.
Certification and delivery records are controlled and indexed as packages progress, keeping the compliance file complete for audit, adoption and handover.
Frameworks, aftercare and post-delivery support run through the same accountable contact, a commercial relationship that spans the lifecycle, not a single order.
Typical project types and the sectors they serve.
Contractors bidding work need supportable pricing for specialist packages under deadline. EMIS provides quotation and tender-support pricing from the vetted supply network so the bid carries real figures, not provisional sums.
Developers planning schemes need early budget estimates and a procurement programme they can fund against. We provide cost planning for the specialist packages and sequence procurement to the build programme.
Utilities with rolling capital programmes benefit from framework arrangements that hold pricing and lead times across schemes. EMIS sets up and manages long-term supply arrangements with the vetted network.
Government projects need order, delivery and cost reporting with a controlled document trail. We provide the reporting and document control that keeps the scheme auditable through to close-out.

As early as budget stage. The earlier we see the scheme, the more value the cost planning and procurement programme carry, long-lead packages are identified and committed in time, and budget figures reflect the live market rather than assumptions.
Whether you require specialist products, technical procurement support, supplier evaluation, coordinated plant and equipment hire, logistics or full commercial procurement management, EMIS provides one accountable point of contact from initial requirement through to final delivery and close-out.
