Spanish term or phrase: concreción
Compañía XX proveerá la asistencia a la puesta en marcha y todo otro servicio que resulte necesario para la concreción del bien objeto del presente contrato.

The 'bien' in this case is a road network.

Is this the equivalent of 'completion' in this case?

working out / specifying


Explanation:
The way I see it, concreción here is simply the noun from concretar - to work out, specify, settle.

So, in your context, I would say "...necessary for working out / settling / specifying..."

See the reference for more possibilities

for execution of this contract


Explanation:
to execute a contract = to carry out a contract
En inglés también se utiliza "object of a contract", pero en este caso no hace falta, ya que con la frase "for execution of this contract" queda claro

disagree  Sue Horn: Be careful. "Execution" is used to refer to the signing of a contract, despite the fact that Robb's legal dictionary also mentiones "carrying out the contract." See Tom West's for confirmation of this. "firmar un contrato/otorgar un contrato.
