The Labour Fund (Tamkeen) has supported the Bahrain-based business-to-business (B2B) tendering platform, Procural, for developing their business which will lead to the creation of new job opportunities for tens of Bahrainis.

The support will enable Procural to enhance its ability to use cloud-based technology and Artificial Intelligence (AI) to match vendors with buyers.

This support is in line with Tamkeen’s Start Your Business program, which is open to SMEs and startups launched within the last three years and offers grants on items such as machinery, marketing, and the implementation of technology. The program encourages budding entrepreneurs and innovators to contribute to the positive development of the Kingdom’s economy.

We believe Procural will be an important addition to the B2B ecosystem, not just in Bahrain, but also across the region.”

“Procural’s platform enhances the way B2B transactions are conducted, increasing efficiency, reducing costs, and boosting competitiveness. With Tamkeen’s support, we hope to expand our business, employ more local talent, overcome certain challenges, refine the platform for a more pleasant customer experience, and become a major marketplace for the region,” Mr. Uzair Usman, Procural’s Co-Founder and CEO, said.

Procural offers a range of features that include cloud-based infrastructure, customizable approval workflows, automated purchase orders, and real-time budget tracking. The startup’s comprehensive approach to procurement streamlines the purchasing process, saving businesses time and money while ensuring compliance with procurement policies.
