"start-up" and "on-site start-up"

are the phrases that I would suggest; or, given the context you provided, "preparation for start-up." -- As I understand it, if a given bidder or prospective supplier is selected, that company will be required to provide "installation and start-up" services for the assets provided, doing so to the satisfaction of the purchaser. the phrase "on-site start-up" (or "preparation for placement in operation") is quite a common one, especially in equipment-leasing or equipment-purchase contracts. -- Best regards, 'heathcliff'

set up

I trust I caught your context right, because there are a lot of things this could mean. But it looks like whatever products are not only being installed, but also some further activity is being wrought on them to put them in working order

commissioned

If "puesta a punto" in this case means installation, configuration and start up, your term should be "commissioned", which basically means "all of the above" when used in a bid or quote or purchase order. ¡Suerte!

"puesta a punto" means "adjustment" or "placing in working order", or "setup" In the case of a motor, it means "tuning".

If it refers to electronic equipment, the word you want is 'calibrated'

Hard to tell in what context the phrase 'puesta a punto' is used but, there is another choice not given by anybody.
