Global workspace procurement & sourcing
This category is specified against the workspace brief, programme, operating model and whole-life cost before suppliers are compared. Power decisions are hard to reverse once the floor is closed. We source switchgear, distribution, desk power and backup equipment against a load schedule and a layout, so the small power on the floor matches how the space is occupied.
Power distribution, desk power and backup sized for how the floor is actually used.
Positioning
Desk power modules, floor boxes and pop-ups look like accessories but define whether a layout can change without opening the floor again. They are specified with the furniture layout, not after it.
Backup sizing is a business decision. We separate essential loads — servers, network, security, emergency lighting — from general power so UPS and generator capacity is bought against actual need.

What we can source
Best for
Direct sourcing & bulk procurement
Wiring devices, floor boxes and desk power modules are bought in volume from manufacturers and authorised distributors, which is where consolidated buying makes a visible difference on large seat counts.
UPS, distribution boards and PDUs are sourced through authorised channels with commissioning and service support included, because after-sales response matters more than the last few percent on price.
Direct manufacturer supply is used where it is genuinely available for the category and volume. Where a brand supplies only through authorised partners, we buy that route to protect warranty and benchmark it so the difference is visible.
Reference imagery
Reference images from workspace environments, shown to illustrate application and finish level rather than a specific supplier's product range.
Procurement workflow
We record what the space actually has to do — headcount, work modes, phasing, budget envelope, delivery date and any landlord or building constraint that will shape what can be installed.
Requirements are converted into a written specification and a measurable bill of quantities, so every supplier quotes the same scope, the same finish level and the same quantities.
We shortlist manufacturers, authorised channel partners and trusted trading suppliers — in India and overseas — that genuinely make or stock the specified category at the required volume.
Offers are normalised into a like-for-like comparison sheet covering unit rate, freight, duty, warranty, lead time, installation scope and payment terms, not just the headline price.
Samples, mock-ups, test certificates and factory documentation are reviewed and signed off before any bulk order is released, so the approved sample becomes the acceptance standard.
Bulk volumes are consolidated and negotiated against benchmarked rates, with commercial terms — retention, warranty, spares, defect liability — agreed in writing before award.
Purchase orders, export documentation, consolidation, freight mode, insurance, customs clearance and inland transport are coordinated against the site programme.
Deliveries are sequenced with civil, MEP and interior trades so material lands when the floor is ready for it, with storage, handling and installation access planned in advance.
Received goods are inspected against the approved specification, shortages and damages are recorded, snags are closed and warranty, spares and O&M documents are handed to the client.
Quality & commercial control
Products are verified against applicable standards and ratings, with test certificates collected for distribution equipment.
Circuit loading, diversity and spare ways are checked against the schedule before equipment is ordered.
Battery replacement access, spares availability and service response terms are agreed for UPS and backup equipment at purchase.

Enquiry
Quantities, site location and target date are enough to start. Your enquiry reaches our procurement desk at mail@sjain.io and you get a confirmation copy by email.
FAQ
A common pattern is two to three raw power outlets plus a UPS outlet per seat, with USB charging at collaboration and lounge points. The right number follows the device profile of the team, so we set it from the equipment list rather than a rule of thumb.
