Complete, time-stamped audit trail
every bid is system-recorded from the moment the auction opens through to the award decision, giving procurement teams and auditors a single, unbroken record of the entire event.
E-auction for government
E-auction for government. For bodies procuring under transparency and accountability rules.
The country’s largest companies trust us with their procurement
E-auction infrastructure built for public accountability
Public bodies and state-owned enterprises operate under a level of scrutiny that commercial organisations rarely face. Every procurement decision must be defensible, every participant must be treated equally, and every step of the process must be available for audit at any moment. Procure.az, built by Smart Solutions Group, addresses these demands by embedding a real-time e-auction module inside a single digital system that covers the full procurement lifecycle — from supplier identification through to contract awarding. Because every bid is system-recorded and selection criteria are applied uniformly across all participants, the platform produces a structured, tamper-evident record trail that meets the transparency and accountability requirements government buyers and state-owned enterprises work under every day.
Why government buyers use Procure.az e-auctions
Uniform treatment of all participants
selection criteria are applied consistently by the platform across every offer received, removing any grounds for challenge based on unequal or inconsistent evaluation.
Automated pre-qualification within the same system
supplier eligibility checks are handled digitally before any bidder reaches the auction stage, keeping qualification records inside the same audit-ready environment as the auction itself.
Configurable to your own process
the modular architecture allows the platform to reflect your organisation's existing approval steps, documentation requirements and workflow rules rather than forcing a change to your internal governance framework.
Multiple auction formats for different spend categories
the platform supports a range of competitive mechanisms, enabling procurement teams to match the right auction format to the nature of the goods, works or services being sourced.
In-house customer care on an 8/5 basis
support is handled internally by a team with direct knowledge of the platform, ensuring procurement staff receive informed assistance during live events and day-to-day operations.
Platform features that serve public procurement requirements
Real-time auction module
A live, competitive bidding environment where all participant activity is captured by the system as it happens. There is no reliance on manual recording or offline communication, which closes the gaps that auditors most commonly flag.
System-recorded bids and uniform criteria application
Every offer submitted through the platform is logged automatically with a time stamp. Selection criteria are applied by the system consistently across all participants, providing objective, documented evidence that equal treatment was maintained throughout the event.
Multiple auction formats
Different categories of public expenditure call for different competitive mechanisms. The platform supports multiple auction formats, allowing procurement teams to select the approach that fits the nature of the goods, works or services being sourced.
Fully automated pre-qualification
Supplier pre-qualification is handled within the same digital system, with automated checks applied before any bidder reaches the auction stage. This keeps the qualification record inside the same audit-ready environment as the auction itself, eliminating the need to reconcile records held in separate tools.
End-to-end procurement lifecycle in one system
From supplier identification through to contract awarding, the entire process sits in one place. Documentation is unified and complete, removing the risk of gaps or inconsistencies that arise when records are spread across separate systems or manual files.
Configurable modular architecture
The platform is configured to the buying organisation's own process rather than imposing a fixed workflow. Your existing procedural rules and approval steps are reflected in the system, keeping your documentation consistent with your internal governance framework and any applicable regulatory requirements.

Common questions from government procurement teams
How does the platform ensure equal treatment of all bidders?
Every offer is system-recorded and selection criteria are applied uniformly by the platform across all participants. Because the system handles the application of criteria rather than individual staff members, there is a consistent, documented basis for every decision, which significantly reduces the grounds on which a participant could raise a challenge based on unequal treatment.
Can the platform be adapted to our organisation's existing procurement procedures?
Yes. Procure.az has a modular architecture that is configured to the buying organisation's own process. Your approval steps, documentation requirements and workflow rules can be reflected in the system rather than replaced by a fixed template, which means your internal governance framework and any regulatory obligations you operate under remain intact.
What documentation is available for audit purposes?
The platform maintains a complete, system-generated record of the entire procurement event — from pre-qualification through to award. Every bid, every criterion applied and every outcome is logged within the same digital system, forming a single audit-ready record trail that is available for internal review or external scrutiny at any point.
Does the platform support different types of auction for different categories of spend?
Yes. The platform supports multiple auction formats, allowing procurement teams to select the competitive mechanism that is most appropriate for the specific category of goods, works or services being procured. This means a single platform can serve varied procurement needs across an organisation without requiring separate tools for different spend categories.
Which organisations in Azerbaijan are already using the platform?
Procure.az is used by a number of large Azerbaijani enterprises with significant compliance and governance requirements, including the SOCAR group, the PASHA group, Kapital Bank and Azəriqaz. Their use of the platform reflects its suitability for organisations that operate under close internal and external scrutiny.
What support is available to our procurement team during live events?
Procure.az provides in-house customer care and support on an 8/5 basis. Support is handled internally rather than through a third party, so the team assisting you has direct knowledge of the platform and can respond to operational questions during active procurement events as well as during routine use.
