Aldar Properties, Abu Dhabi's leading listed property development, investment and management company, announced the launch of a new online e-procurement portal - BravoAdvantage - in partnership with Tejari, a strategic procurement company.

The platform will enable Aldar to automate routine procurement tasks and facilitate supplier on-boarding, allowing the group's procurement team to reallocate resources to focus on more strategic and valuable supply management activities. The portal supports Aldar's commitment to maintaining consistent, strategic engagement with its supplier community in order to enhance its registration process visibility.

M. Nader Saleh Al Awlaqi, executive director of procurement at Aldar Properties, said: "Aldar is a significant contributor to developing and reshaping the fabric of urban life in Abu Dhabi in line with the vision of the emirate. As such it is important that we continue to set new standards for our performance, which contributes in facilitating the suppliers' registration and evaluation functions and contract operations."

Richard Hogg, CEO of Tejari, said: "Forward-thinking organisations such as Aldar Properties recognise the tremendous impact procurement can make on an organisation's overall growth and profitability. By adopting a transformative approach to procurement, Aldar will be able to unlock procurement's full power and drive excellence that will shape the direction of the organisation."

Tejari played a key role in the implementation of the application, providing end-user training and support to Aldar Properties.
