How to buy new equipment purchase
Capital equipment is the highest-value, longest-lived purchase on the shop floor. Buying well means rigour on specification, total cost and installation, not just headline price.
- 01Write a User Requirements Specification
Process capability, cycle time, product range, footprint, services required, environmental constraints and safety requirements. The URS is the contract baseline.
- 02Decide new, refurbished, used, lease or rent
Each has different capital, lead-time, warranty and support implications. Get all options quoted on the same project.
- 03Build a total-cost-of-ownership model
Capital plus install plus tooling plus training plus consumables plus service plus energy over the asset life, not just the sticker price.
- 04Plan installation and commissioning
Foundations, services, lifting, access, training, FAT, SAT, validation and ramp-to-rate, all sequenced and budgeted.
- 05Lock service and spares from day one
Service contract, response SLA, spares package, software updates and end-of-life position should be in the PO, not a later negotiation.

Buyer FAQs for New Equipment Purchase
Refurbished and used can save 30 to 60% on capital cost but lead times, warranty and parts availability vary. Lease/finance and rental options preserve cash and shift risk. State your preference (or 'no preference') on the project and let suppliers propose the best route.
Most UK dealers will quote installation and commissioning as a separate line - confirm site requirements (power, foundations, services) upfront so quotes are comparable. You can also pick a dedicated installer or commissioning specialist via the same project.
