Procurement

WELL have extensive experience in supporting international upstream operations. The range of goods sourced varies from oilfield materials such as OCTG, line pipe, marine hose and valves through to essential pharmaceutical supplies and other consumables.

Through a sister company, we have direct working experience in supporting upstream operations both internationally and the UK North Sea sector, means that we are highly tuned in to the demands faced by operators in remote locations.

Dedicated procurement personnel also have significant experience in working in remote locations and can therefore empathise with those based there trying to get the job done, often in very frustrating circumstances. It is through these experiences and our emphasis on communication that we believe we can offer a high quality service that meets the needs of our customers. Our ability to source from international markets enables us to obtain the most competitive pricing for our customers and locate goods with shortest lead times. By integrating the sourcing and procurement services with our logistics division we can deliver accurate pricing with genuine service capabilities enabling our clients to take timely decisions and staying ahead of this competition.

WELL can provide expertise in the area of capital goods procurement or for goods requiring a strategic approach to acquisition. Some examples are:

where total cost analysis is relevant rather than just price
where prices are artificially controlled or fluctuate considerably
where a negotiated approach is more appropriate rather than tendering
where frame agreements are more appropriate
where pre-qualification of suppliers is necessary
