Material and Spare Part Management
ORM Partners manages autonomously and with full responsibility, all Materials associated with the execution of any work. ORM Partners’ responsibilities will include but will not be limited to the procurement, handling and storage of spare parts for utilities and facilities and consumables for operation.
As a minimum, ORM Partners will:
- Ensure adequate organization structure for Materials Management
- Provide computer based system(s) to support the materials management process — procurement, financial matters, stock control and warehouse management
- Prepare a complete coded list of Spare Parts and incorporate an asset tag management system
- Identify the Materials that are readily available from the local market and those have long delivery time
- Set stock levels for all materials.
ORM Partners’ model for spare parts market analysis includes:
- Procuring in advance the long lead items and storing them in a storage room to maintain the minimum stock level deemed necessary
- Promptly replacing any material utilized for maintenance needs in order to respect the stated minimum level of stock
- Procuring the Spare parts and consumables
- Arranging any necessary import authorization — both temporary and permanent
- Storing, supplying and managing the spare parts, lubricants and consumables — including those required for the operability of their tools, such as drills, test instruments and vehicles/cars
Following this process, ORM Partners will optimize and manage the spare parts analyzed. All spare parts for preventive maintenance will be supplied by us and included in utilities operation and maintenance Work on cost plus 7.5% basis. ORM Partners will purchase, in accordance with contract clauses, any spare part identified as being required to perform the Work. WE will also be responsible for the preservation of spare parts that are held to ensure their condition is “fit for Work” when required. ORM Partners will ensure that suitable preservation procedures are in place for this and provide preservation measures for equipment under this scope in accordance with vendor recommendations and requirements.
Scheduling and Cost Control
Scheduling
ORM Partners will implement a scheduling and cost control system to manage the activities associated with the Work.

Technical and Corporate Support
ORM Partners will provide comprehensive technical support, incorporating engineering support for the utilities and technical systems. This technical support systems must support the maintenance strategy of total productive maintenance (TPM) which focuses on maintaining the overall system function (rather than on the maintenance of individual equipment) whilst taking into account safety, environmental, cost, legislation and reliability requirements of the systems to produce an auditable and balanced maintenance programme.
