The country’s largest companies trust us with their procurement
Build a trusted supplier base before the tender clock starts
One of the most time-consuming tasks in procurement is identifying and qualifying suppliers you can actually trust to bid. Procure.az, built by Smart Solutions Group, addresses this directly by covering the full procurement lifecycle — from supplier identification through to contract awarding — inside a single digital system. Its automated pre-qualification process builds and maintains a centralized, categorized Approved Vendor List, so when a sourcing need arises, your team is not starting from scratch. The modular architecture is configured to your organization's own process, meaning the qualification criteria, categories, and approval logic reflect your standards rather than a generic template imposed by the platform. Trusted by large Azerbaijani enterprises including the SOCAR group, the PASHA group, Kapital Bank, and Azəriqaz, the platform has demonstrated its ability to support procurement functions operating at significant scale and complexity.
What your procurement team gains
Extend your competitive reach to qualified international suppliers, broadening the field of credible bids on each tender and creating the conditions for better commercial outcomes.
Apply your organization's own qualification standards consistently across every candidate, with all submissions system-recorded to provide a clear, defensible audit trail for every sourcing decision.
Move from supplier identification to active sourcing faster, because pre-qualification and tendering take place within the same system, eliminating data re-entry and handoffs between disconnected tools.
Maintain confidence in supplier quality at every stage, since only vendors who pass your configured pre-qualification criteria are added to the Approved Vendor List and made available for selection.
Access in-house customer care and support eight hours a day, five days a week, ensuring your procurement team can resolve process questions quickly without relying on external intermediaries.
Platform capabilities that support supplier discovery
Automated pre-qualification
Procure.az automates the pre-qualification workflow end to end. Suppliers are assessed against your configured criteria without manual chasing, and only those who meet the defined threshold are added to your Approved Vendor List.
Centralized, categorized Approved Vendor List
All qualified suppliers are held in a single, structured list organized by category. Buyers can locate relevant vendors quickly — including internationally sourced ones — without searching across disconnected files or systems.
Uniform, auditable selection
Every offer and supplier submission is recorded within the system. Selection criteria are applied consistently across all candidates, giving procurement leads a clear, defensible audit trail for every sourcing decision.
Modular, configurable architecture
The platform is built to reflect your organization's own procurement process. Qualification stages, approval logic, and category structures are configured to your requirements rather than a fixed, one-size-fits-all workflow.
End-to-end lifecycle in one system
Supplier identification, pre-qualification, tendering, and contract awarding all take place within Procure.az. There is no need to re-enter data or switch between separate tools at different stages of the procurement cycle.
Wider competitive reach
By enabling access to a broader pool of qualified suppliers — including international vendors — the platform increases the number of credible bids on each tender, supporting better commercial outcomes through genuine competition.

Questions procurement teams ask about supplier discovery on Procure.az
Do we have to manage the Approved Vendor List manually?
No. The Approved Vendor List is produced and maintained by the automated pre-qualification process. Suppliers are added automatically when they satisfy your configured criteria, removing the need for any manual list upkeep or periodic reconciliation.
Can we qualify and source suppliers from outside Azerbaijan?
Yes. The platform supports international supplier reach, so buyers can source and qualify vendors beyond the local market. A wider supplier pool increases the competitive field on each tender, which is one of the core commercial benefits of the system.
How does the platform protect the integrity of our supplier selection decisions?
Every offer and submission is system-recorded, and selection criteria are applied uniformly across all candidates throughout the process. This gives procurement leads a consistent, documented basis for every decision — one that can be reviewed and defended if questioned internally or externally.
Can the pre-qualification criteria and category structures be tailored to our organization?
Yes. Procure.az is built on a modular architecture that is configured to the buying organization's own process. Qualification stages, approval logic, and category structures are all set to your requirements rather than inherited from a fixed template, so the platform reflects how your procurement function actually operates.
We work with multiple business units that have different procurement standards. Can the platform accommodate that?
Because the architecture is modular and configured per buying organization, different qualification criteria, category structures, and approval workflows can be established to reflect the distinct requirements of separate business units or entities — all within the same centralized system.
What support is available if our team has questions during setup or daily use?
Procure.az provides in-house customer care and support available eight hours a day, five days a week. Your procurement team can get direct assistance from the team that built and operates the platform, without routing queries through third-party intermediaries.
