Industry context

SCM and procurement solutions in energy and utilities

We implement procurement and supply chain platforms so requisitions, purchase orders, suppliers and plans run on the same data and approval rules.

Supply chain and procurement platforms connect planning, sourcing, purchasing and supplier management, so their value depends on clean item and supplier data and approval rules people follow. We configure source-to-pay and planning processes in stages and connect them to finance and inventory systems.

Energy and utility companies run long-lived assets where reliability and safety come first, and their control systems fall under OT security requirements. Field crews, control room operators and asset managers need changes scheduled within approved shutdowns and maintenance seasons, under HSE rules. Supplier rules differ by market: In-Country Value certification in the UAE and the local content requirements of the Local Content and Government Procurement Authority in Saudi Arabia, with ZATCA e-invoicing on supplier invoices there.

We hand over with runbooks and training, and can stay on under agreed service levels.

Alongside sector regulation, we often map delivery evidence to cross-industry baselines such as the UAE Information Assurance Regulation issued by TDRA, the NCA Essential Cybersecurity Controls in Saudi Arabia and the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, which many risk reviewers already use.

What the work covers

We design, deliver and stay until operation is stable, with evidence your procurement and risk teams can rely on.

  • Source to pay

    Requisitions, approvals, purchase orders and invoice matching configured to your delegation of authority.

  • Supplier management

    Supplier onboarding, documents and performance records kept in one place, with a clear owner for each supplier.

  • Planning and inventory links

    Demand and supply plans connected to inventory and orders, so buyers work from the same numbers as planners.

  • OT security and sector rules

    We design around OT security requirements such as the UAE Information Assurance Regulation and the Dubai Electronic Security Center's standards, or NCA OTCC in Saudi Arabia, with IEC 62443 for control systems, and keep the compliance evidence your regulator and HSE function review.

  • Local content and supplier compliance

    Supplier certificates, local content data and compliance documents tracked with their expiry dates.

  • Spend reporting

    Spend by category, supplier and entity, drawn from purchase orders and invoices rather than spreadsheets.

Signs you are ready to start

A procurement programme is ready to start when approval limits are agreed and supplier data is clean enough to migrate.

  • Operations has agreed the planned shutdown and maintenance windows available for changes.
  • Procurement has approved its delegation of authority and listed the active suppliers to start from.
  • Someone owns supplier data and has started removing duplicates.
