Mobilisation

• The time allocated following a procurement exercise before commencement of the service delivery is arguably the most critical time of a contract. If it goes wrong the improvement plan required can be costly and the Customer Contractor relationship will be damaged. If it goes well it lays the foundations for the success of the future of the Contract while delivering on key customer strategy and objectives. Luminaire Solutions can support organisations and their partners through this challenging time period.
