règlement / résolution


Explanation:
I am guessing that 'cementation' here means 'to firmly settle or determine' (The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition), 'bind or join with or as if with cement' (WordNet 1.7.1 Copyright 2001 by Princeton University), hence my suggestion based on the understanding that the services offered include the 'implementation' of such règlement or résolution whether negociated or imposed.
