| As Australia's most experienced consulting
organisation in procuring goods for developing countries, SMEC offers its
clients an established purchasing capability of a high professional
standard backed by comprehensive technical expertise.
Most of the purchases SMEC makes on behalf of its clients are for
projects outside Australia. The company is therefore well equipped with
the various requirements for procurement overseas. It is also experienced
in arranging transport by sea, air and land, particularly in respect of
- quality assurance inspections
- packaging and protection requirements, and
- customs documentation procedures.

Our procurement staff have travelled widely throughout the Asian,
Pacific, Middle East and African regions. This has enabled SMEC to develop
a sound understanding of differing regulatory frameworks and logistic
environments and to establish close and workable liaisons with
representatives of recipient governments.
Clients can utilise SMEC's expertise in procurement to eliminate or
minimise any potential risk in respect of the technical quality of the
goods supplied, the adequacy and timing of supply or the overall cost to
the client.
SMEC's principal assets are:
- a network of contacts with suppliers in Australia and around the world
- dedicated professional staff
- a comprehensive records system to facilitate re-ordering, even after some
years
- a meticulous management process to ensure quality control.
SMEC has never had goods returned because they were not supplied to order.
