What is a supplier portal?
A supplier portal is a digital interface that allows vendors to interact with a buying organization's procurement system in a centralized location. It serves as a secure gateway where suppliers can submit documentation, respond to tender invitations, and manage their profiles. By consolidating these interactions, the portal replaces fragmented communication methods with a structured environment. Procure.az implements this concept through an e-sourcing and tendering platform that covers the procurement lifecycle from supplier identification through to contract awarding in one digital system, reducing manual steps between the buyer and the supplier.
