ADDAMS DEALING & CONTRACTING
Once the ADDAMS appropriate and technological equipment specificationsare defined, Project Budgeting and Production, Delivery, and Installation Scheduling are budgeted.
The Dealing & Contracting stage of ADDAMS Project Planning refers to the phase where agreements, partnerships, and formal commitments are established to enable the project’s implementation. This stage comes after project design and budgeting but before execution or construction. It ensures that all necessary parties—suppliers, contractors, consultants, and clients—are contractually bound to perform their roles under agreed-upon terms.
Key Activities in the ADDAMS Dealing & Contracting Stage:
1. Agree on technical specifications such as Flow, required space, equipment specs, civil engineering responsibilities, machine park utilities, manpower to run the machine park, delivery schedule, installation, start-up, and training phase, and after-sales support topics, prices, warranties, and timelines.
2. Negotiation of ADDAMS
Negotiate terms including:
Price, Payment schedule, Delivery terms (Incoterms if international), Responsibilities (scope of work, deliverables), After-sales service, and training.
Focus on risk-sharing and performance guarantees.

Create formal contracts for equipment purchase, civil works or facility construction, engineering and consulting services, and transportation and logistics.
