Supply continuity protected by automated expiry alerts that flag upcoming renewals with sufficient lead time to initiate a new sourcing event before any gap in service can occur

Contract management for energy & utilities. For supply that has to keep the service running.

Contract management built for energy and utility procurement
Energy and utility companies carry continuity-of-service obligations that leave little room for procurement gaps. A delayed contract renewal, a missed milestone, or a framework agreement that quietly lapses can translate directly into service disruption and regulatory exposure. Procure.az, the e-sourcing and tendering platform built by Smart Solutions Group, addresses this by embedding contract management inside the same digital system that handles supplier identification, pre-qualification, and award — so nothing falls between the cracks. Contracts are auto-generated from award data, milestones are tracked inside the platform, and expiry alerts are issued automatically, giving procurement and legal teams the visibility they need to keep large-scale infrastructure projects and long-running framework agreements on track.
Why energy and utility buyers use Procure.az for contract management
Long-running framework agreements managed in one place, with transparent change logs giving both buying organisations and suppliers a shared, authoritative record of every amendment
Regulatory reporting obligations met through a complete, system-recorded audit trail that runs from first supplier contact through pre-qualification, sourcing, and award to contract close
Legal workload reduced through auto-generated contracts drawn directly from award data, eliminating manual re-keying and the transcription errors that come with it
Uniform selection criteria applied across all submissions, making the basis on which any contract was granted fully traceable — a requirement that energy-sector regulators frequently demand
Milestone tracking keeps multi-phase infrastructure and service contracts aligned with contractual commitments throughout delivery, without reliance on separate spreadsheets or manual follow-up
Contract management features designed for critical supply
Auto-generated contracts from award data
Once a tender is awarded, Procure.az generates the contract directly from the award data already held in the system. This removes manual re-keying, reduces the risk of transcription errors, and ensures the signed document reflects exactly what was agreed during the sourcing process.
Milestone tracking
Infrastructure and service contracts in the energy sector often run across multiple phases and delivery points. The platform tracks contract milestones so procurement teams can monitor progress against obligations without relying on separate spreadsheets or manual follow-up.
Expiry alerts
Procure.az sends automated alerts ahead of contract expiry dates, giving teams sufficient lead time to initiate renewals or run a new sourcing event before a framework agreement or supply contract lapses.
Transparent change logs for suppliers
Every change to a contract is recorded with a clear audit trail. Suppliers have access to a single signed source of truth, which reduces ambiguity, supports dispute resolution, and demonstrates to regulators that contract terms have been managed consistently.
Uniform selection criteria across the full lifecycle
Because every offer is system-recorded and selection criteria are applied uniformly from pre-qualification through to award, the basis on which a contract was granted is always traceable — a requirement that regulatory reporting in the energy sector frequently demands.
Modular configuration to your own process
Procure.az uses a modular architecture configured to the buying organisation's own procurement process. Energy and utility companies with specific approval workflows, delegated authority levels, or sector-specific compliance steps can have the platform reflect those requirements rather than working around a fixed system.
From supplier identification to active contract — in one system
- Identify and pre-qualify suppliers through fully automated pre-qualification processes within the platform, building a verified pool for critical supply categories.
- Run the sourcing event — tender, RFQ, or framework call-off — with every offer system-recorded and selection criteria applied uniformly across all submissions.
- Award the contract within the platform; Procure.az auto-generates the contract document directly from the award data, eliminating manual drafting.
- Track contract milestones and delivery obligations as the agreement progresses, with all activity logged against the contract record.
- Receive automated expiry alerts ahead of key dates so renewals or replacement sourcing events can be initiated before supply continuity is at risk.
- Access the complete audit trail — from first supplier contact through to contract close — to support regulatory reporting and internal governance requirements.
Common questions from energy and utility procurement teams
We manage framework agreements that run for several years with multiple milestones. Can the platform handle long contract durations?
Yes. Procure.az tracks contract milestones and sends expiry alerts regardless of contract length. Long-running framework agreements remain fully visible in the system throughout their life, and the change log records every amendment made along the way, giving both parties a reliable shared record.
Our regulator requires us to demonstrate that suppliers were selected on consistent, documented criteria. Does the platform support this?
Every offer submitted through Procure.az is system-recorded, and selection criteria are applied uniformly across all submissions. This creates a traceable audit trail from the sourcing event through to contract award that can be produced for regulatory reporting without any additional assembly work.
We currently generate contracts manually from award summaries. How does auto-generation work in practice?
Once an award decision is made within the platform, Procure.az generates the contract directly from the award data already held in the system. This removes the need to re-key terms into a separate document and ensures the signed contract reflects exactly what was agreed during the sourcing process, reducing both effort and the risk of transcription errors.
Our suppliers sometimes dispute what was agreed or what has changed since signing. How does the platform address this?
Suppliers have access to a single signed source of truth within the platform, supported by transparent change logs that record every amendment in sequence. This gives both parties a shared, authoritative record and significantly reduces the scope for disputes over contract terms or the history of changes.
What level of support is available during implementation and day-to-day use?
Procure.az provides 8/5 in-house customer care and support. The platform is used by large Azerbaijani enterprises including the SOCAR group and Azəriqaz, so the support team has direct, practical experience with the procurement contexts and compliance requirements that energy and utility buyers encounter.
