Technical procurement and tender preparation

Define the technical file

• Purpose and system boundary
• Existing pipes, meters, valves, panels and communications
• Meter flow range, fluid, accuracy requirement and mounting conditions
• Valve duty, pressure, actuation and failure state
• Data interfaces, access rights and export format
• Quantities, installation and commissioning scope
• Acceptance tests, training and handover
• Maintenance, spares, licences and communication costs

Practical acceptance scenarios

Match serial numbers and field tags to the delivery list. Verify units and timestamps at the destination system. Test power/communication interruption and any local buffering. Demonstrate the valve at the defined setpoint and flow range. Supply operating/maintenance documents and training. Set tolerances and methods against the selected product’s valid technical documentation.

Compare the same scope

Include accessories, power infrastructure, installation, communications, software licensing, integration, training and maintenance. Start from brand-neutral functional requirements.
