A transparent, competitive bidding environment where every offer is system-recorded and selection criteria are applied uniformly — eliminating any possibility of manual interference after submission.
How to compete in an e-auction
How to compete in an e-auction — a practical approach with the Procure.az e-procurement platform.
The country’s largest companies trust us with their procurement
Compete in e-auctions with confidence on Procure.az
When a buying organisation runs a live e-auction, the pressure on your team is real: you need to track the event in real time, respond to price movements quickly, and trust that every bid you submit is treated fairly. Procure.az, built by Smart Solutions Group, is an e-sourcing and tendering platform that covers the full procurement lifecycle — from supplier identification through to contract awarding — in one digital system. Its real-time auction module supports multiple auction formats, so the rules of engagement are set by the buyer's own process rather than imposed by a one-size-fits-all tool. Because every bid is system-recorded and selection criteria are applied uniformly across all participants, you compete on a level playing field each time you enter an event. Whether you are new to electronic auctions or moving away from disconnected spreadsheets and foreign e-procurement suites, this page explains exactly what to expect and how to make the most of the platform. Procure.az operates on a modular architecture that is configured to each buying organisation's own procurement process, meaning the platform adapts to established workflows rather than forcing buyers or suppliers to change how they work. Fully automated pre-qualification and sourcing processes reduce the administrative burden of entering each new tender, while an in-house customer care team is available eight hours a day, five days a week to assist with technical questions or event access. The platform is already trusted by large Azerbaijani enterprises including the SOCAR group, the PASHA group, Kapital Bank and Azəriqaz, all running their sourcing events and auctions through the same digital environment. For suppliers, this means a single registration opens the door to a growing ecosystem of high-value procurement opportunities managed transparently in one place.

Platform features that matter to bidders
Real-time auction module
The dedicated auction module displays live bid activity as it happens. You see the current standing of the auction in real time, giving you the information you need to decide when and how to adjust your offer.
Multiple auction formats
Procure.az supports multiple auction formats, each configured to the buying organisation's own process. Before an event opens, you will know the exact format and rules, so you can prepare your bidding strategy accordingly.
System-recorded bids
Every bid you submit is recorded by the system automatically. This creates an auditable trail that protects your interests and ensures selection criteria are applied uniformly across all participating suppliers.
Automated pre-qualification
Fully automated pre-qualification processes mean you complete your supplier profile and documentation once. When a buyer runs a qualification step before an auction, the system handles it consistently, reducing repeated paperwork.
End-to-end procurement lifecycle
The platform covers supplier identification through to contract awarding in one digital system. You follow the entire process — qualification, sourcing event, auction, award — without switching between separate tools or portals.
In-house customer support
An in-house support team is available 8/5 to assist you with technical questions, event access or process queries. Support is provided by the team that built and operates the platform, not a third-party helpdesk.

Frequently asked questions from suppliers
How do I know my bids are being evaluated fairly?

Do I need to re-submit my company documents for every tender?
