How remote procurement support works for Saudi contracting and trading companies

For contracting and trading companies in Saudi Arabia, procurement is a constant flow of requests for quotation, supplier comparisons, purchase orders and delivery follow-ups. Most of it is document and system work, which makes it a good fit for remote delivery.

What the service covers

• RFQs and supplier outreach: preparing requests from your material lists or BOQs and sending them to your approved suppliers.
• Quotation comparison: side-by-side tables of price, lead time, payment terms and compliance with the specification.
• Purchase orders: raising POs in your ERP or template once you approve the selection.
• Expediting: chasing confirmations, delivery dates and documents such as delivery notes and certificates.
• Supplier records: keeping vendor details, price history and documents up to date.
• Reporting: open POs, overdue deliveries and spend by project or supplier.

What stays with you

Approvals, negotiations you want to lead, and signing authority stay with your team. The service prepares the work and does the follow-up, so your engineers and managers decide faster with the information in front of them. For government tenders, the Etimad platform remains your company's own account and decision.

How it runs

With The Kabeer Co, procurement support is delivered remotely as a service during Saudi business hours, working in your email, ERP or shared folders. There is no hiring and no extra overhead. Because the work is delivered remotely, you no longer carry costs like visas, Iqama, housing, equipment or HR, and overall cost can come down by up to 40%. Actual costs vary, and the fee is quoted per service.

The service runs under a service agreement with contractual SLAs, for example turnaround times for RFQs and comparisons, with a monthly audit and report.

A simple way to start

1. List the procurement tasks that take most of your team's time each week.
2. Share sample documents: an RFQ, a comparison and a PO.
3. Agree the scope and turnaround times, then sign the service agreement.
