Strategic Supplier Engagement & Procurement Validation
Blackbird seek for internal and external validation for sourcing assumptions, supplier capabilities and procurement credibility to support ECA and financing alignment.
The Challenge
A procurement strategy is only credible when it can be supported by capable and appropriately positioned suppliers.
Potential suppliers may have suitable products but lack the required exportable content, delivery capability, jurisdictional position or willingness to support the intended commercial structure.
HOW WE SUPPORT
- Identify and engage relevant suppliers
- Validate capability, sourcing position and exportable content
- Assess supplier fit within the proposed procurement structure
- Identify gaps and complementary supplier requirements
IMPORTANT CLARIFICATION
Supplier engagement is undertaken to validate capability, positioning and alignment. It should not be presented as commercial representation unless separately agreed.
TYPICAL OUTPUTS
- Qualified supplier shortlist
- Supplier capability and eligibility assessment
- Supplier engagement summary
RELEVANT FOR
Contractors, EPCs, project sponsors, OEMs, exporters and financing stakeholders
