A single auditable record for every offer and selection decision, eliminating the gaps that arise when approvals are managed across email threads or spreadsheets.
Reduce supplier risk
Reduce supplier risk — a practical approach with the Procure.az e-procurement platform.
The country’s largest companies trust us with their procurement
Take control of supplier risk across the full procurement lifecycle
Supplier risk does not begin at contract signature — it accumulates at every stage from the first vendor search through to award. Unverified suppliers, inconsistent evaluation practices, undocumented selection decisions and no visibility into past performance all create exposure that is difficult to defend when things go wrong. Procure.az, built by Smart Solutions Group, addresses this directly by covering the entire procurement lifecycle — from supplier identification through to contract awarding — in a single digital system. Pre-qualification and sourcing processes are fully automated, every offer is system-recorded and selection criteria are applied uniformly across all submissions, giving your team a consistent, auditable basis for every decision.
The platform's modular architecture is configured to your organisation's own procurement process, so you are not forced to adapt your internal controls to a generic, off-the-shelf workflow. Supplier qualification, evaluation and rating are streamlined within a structured environment, and supplier performance can be tracked over time so that historical delivery, quality and compliance data remains available for future sourcing cycles. Trusted by large Azerbaijani enterprises including the SOCAR group, the PASHA group, Kapital Bank and Azəriqaz, Procure.az provides the evidence and governance infrastructure needed to justify every sourcing decision — to internal stakeholders and external reviewers alike.
What your procurement team gains
Uniform application of evaluation criteria across all suppliers, reducing the risk of inconsistent or undocumented award decisions and strengthening your governance position.
Ongoing supplier performance tracking so that historical delivery, quality and compliance data actively informs qualification and selection in future sourcing events.
Fully automated pre-qualification that filters out unqualified vendors before they enter your sourcing events, protecting evaluation cycle time and team effort.
Suppliers matched to tenders that align with their expertise and capacity, improving the quality and relevance of the responses your team receives.
Reduced reliance on informal networks and travel to identify new vendors, lowering both the cost and the opacity of supplier discovery across categories.
Platform capabilities that reduce supplier risk
Automated pre-qualification
Pre-qualification workflows run automatically against criteria you define. Suppliers that do not meet your standards are screened out before a sourcing event opens, so your evaluation team focuses only on vendors who have already cleared your baseline requirements.
Uniform, system-recorded evaluation
Every offer submitted through the platform is recorded by the system and scored against the same criteria. There is no manual consolidation into a spreadsheet and no risk of criteria being applied differently across evaluators or events.
Supplier performance tracking
Performance data accumulates against each supplier over time. Category managers can review a vendor's track record before including them in a new sourcing event, turning historical delivery and quality outcomes into an active risk control.
Expertise-matched supplier engagement
The platform matches suppliers to tenders that align with their stated expertise and capacity. This improves response quality and reduces the risk of awarding to a vendor who lacks the operational capability to deliver.
Configurable modular architecture
The platform is configured to your organisation's own procurement process rather than imposing a fixed workflow. Your existing approval gates, qualification criteria and evaluation frameworks are reflected in the system, not replaced by it.
8/5 in-house support
Customer care and support is provided in-house by the Smart Solutions Group team. When a process question or technical issue arises during a live sourcing event, you have direct access to people who know the platform.
How Procure.az reduces supplier risk in practice
- Define your qualification criteria within the platform's configurable pre-qualification module, aligned to your category and risk requirements.
- Suppliers are identified and matched to sourcing events based on their expertise and capacity, broadening your vendor base without informal outreach or travel.
- Automated pre-qualification screens each supplier against your criteria before they are admitted to a tender, keeping unqualified vendors out of the evaluation process.
- Sourcing events run digitally with every offer system-recorded, ensuring that evaluation criteria are applied uniformly and the full decision trail is preserved.
- Evaluation outcomes and award decisions are documented in the platform, providing the audit evidence needed for internal governance and external review.
- Post-award, supplier performance is tracked over time so that ratings and delivery history are available to inform qualification and selection in future sourcing cycles.
Frequently asked questions
We already manage supplier data in an ERP purchasing module. Why would we also need Procure.az?
Procure.az is not a replacement for your ERP's transactional records. It covers the sourcing and qualification stages that most ERP purchasing modules handle poorly — structured pre-qualification, competitive tendering with a full audit trail, and ongoing supplier rating. The two systems address different parts of the procurement lifecycle and can operate alongside each other without duplication.
How does the platform ensure that evaluation decisions are defensible to auditors or senior stakeholders?
Every offer is system-recorded and scored against criteria that are set before the sourcing event opens. Because the criteria are applied uniformly by the system rather than consolidated manually after the fact, the basis for each decision is documented automatically and available for review at any point — removing the ambiguity that arises when approvals are managed across email threads or spreadsheets.
Can we configure qualification criteria and evaluation weightings to reflect our own risk standards?
Yes. The platform's modular architecture is configured to the buying organisation's own process. Your qualification thresholds, evaluation weightings and approval workflows are set up to reflect your specific requirements rather than a generic template, so your existing governance controls are preserved within the system.
As a supplier, how does the platform help us find relevant tendering opportunities?
The platform matches suppliers to tenders that fit their stated expertise and capacity. This means suppliers are directed toward opportunities where they are genuinely competitive, reducing the time and marketing spend otherwise needed to identify and pursue relevant contracts — including the travel costs associated with building relationships with new buying organisations.
Which organisations in Azerbaijan are already using the platform, and what support is available?
Procure.az is used by large Azerbaijani enterprises including the SOCAR group, the PASHA group, Kapital Bank and Azəriqaz. Support is provided in-house by the Smart Solutions Group team on an 8/5 basis. Because support is handled internally by people directly familiar with the platform, issues that arise during live sourcing events are resolved without being routed through a third-party service desk.
