The Forensic expert kollegium provides services in assessing the compliance and the necessary sufficiency of technical requirements of tender documentation for the supply (technical task for engineering) of equipment and software.
At present, no industrial enterprise can be imagined without technological equipment – means of technological equipping, in which materials or blanks, means of influencing them, as well as technological equipment are placed to perform a certain part of the technological process. Many enterprises strive to develop their technological base, modernizing existing or purchasing new technological equipment, while at the initial stage of procurement, little attention is often paid to both formalizing all the characteristics that new equipment must correspond to, and working out possible actions in case of disputes with a supplier or an assembly organization.
Most often, equipment expertise is carried out in the event of disputes between the supplier and the customer about the operability or serviceability of the equipment, while the detected equipment discrepancies are not always conditioned by the presence of a manufacturing defect. At the stage of holding the tender for the purchase or while drawing up the technical task for engineering, the customer and the equipment supplier often speak "different" languages, and, in case if all the main technical characteristics of the equipment that is planned for delivery are not clearly and legibly documented at the initial stage of interaction, then, with high probability, the vague wording may lead to a judicial resolution of the dispute.
During the tender documentation or technical task for engineering expertise the completeness, the necessary sufficiency and the competent formulation of all requirements for the supplied equipment is determined. For most of the engineering and technical personnel of enterprises, all the parameters of the technological process seem so obvious that the technical task indicate only those parameters that significantly differ the classes of equipment in terms of the volume or degree of automation of production. For a supplier or engineer, the data of the technical task (tender documentation) most often represent a set of not minimum, but maximum requirements that must be met during delivery. Besides, some unscrupulous suppliers specifically mark some non-standardized terms in the technical task. The accordance to such requirements can subsequently be disregarded due to the lack of an unambiguous interpretation. Also, in the process of the actual delivery of technological equipment, a number of disputes often arise over the obligation to carry out preparatory work (foundation, electrical installation, hydraulic piping, commissioning, acceptance tests, etc.), that is not indicated at all in the contractual documentation, but the qualified performance of which is required for the start-up of the equipment itself. That is why the expertise of the technical task (tender documentation) for the supply of equipment at the very initial stage of interaction between the customer and the supplier allows eliminating the problems arising during the supply and the start-up of equipment.
