Procural W.L.L. has signed a strategic Memorandum of Understanding with Capital Numbers during GITEX Global 2025 at the Bahrain Pavilion powered by Tamkeen, setting a clear path to embed AI features, automation, and modern cloud engineering into the Bahrain-built procurement platform. The partnership was formalised amid a week designed for fast decision making and founder–enterprise matchmaking, and it gives Procural a seasoned build partner across AI and product engineering.

The scope is practical and near term. Capital Numbers will support AI and Process Automation, Cloud Transformation, and Digital Product Engineering so Procural can ship features that compress sourcing cycles, automate repetitive workflows, and surface richer spend intelligence for finance and operations teams. For buyers, the promise is cleaner RFx execution and faster approvals. For suppliers, it is better discoverability and more predictable timelines. “This partnership with Capital Numbers marks a pivotal moment for Procural as we accelerate our journey toward becoming a fully AI-enabled, high-performance platform,” said Mr. Uzair Usman, CEO of Procural. “We extend our sincere gratitude to Tamkeen for their unwavering support, which underscores Bahrain’s growing role as a hub for digital innovation and entrepreneurship.” The engineering partner echoed the same execution focus. “We are delighted to partner with Procural and bring our global experience in AI and enterprise product engineering to this exciting collaboration. Our goal is to empower Procural with scalable, intelligent technologies that redefine digital procurement experiences and strengthen Bahrain’s innovation ecosystem in the process,” said Anidya Mukherjee, Director of Operations, Capital Numbers.

The timing aligns with Bahrain’s concentrated push to turn global exposure into signed work. Tamkeen’s Bahrain Pavilion at GITEX ran from 13–17 October with 14 Bahraini tech companies exhibiting, giving founders and buyers a single place to explore partnerships and proofs of concept. The pavilion’s scale and positioning matter for SMEs that sell enterprise software, where credibility and live demos often unlock the first pilot. See the pavilion announcement by Tamkeen and the event’s official opening details for context on the week’s volume and audience.

There is broader ecosystem momentum this month that strengthens the case for procurement tech built in Bahrain. Bahrain EDB reported 38 partnerships and strategic agreements closed during FinTech Forward 2025 at Exhibition World Bahrain, reflecting investor and corporate appetite for regulated digital infrastructure and fintech tooling. That trend helps AI-enabled procurement gain attention from finance, compliance, and audit leaders who now see measurable ways to control costs and risk.

GITEX week also brought adjacent deals that point to real deployment paths. Mazad and Procural signed an MoU at the pavilion to advance digital procurement solutions, signalling interest in shared rails for public auctions and enterprise sourcing that can reduce friction between buyers and vendors. For founders building alongside this stack, that is a cue to align integrations and data models early.

Procurement sits at the intersection of finance, compliance, and supply risk. AI features that summarise bids, flag anomalies, and recommend suppliers will land faster when built with a clear regulatory context and local references. The Tamkeen pavilion and EDB’s FF25 pipeline give Procural immediate routes to pilots. The Capital Numbers partnership adds delivery capacity so those pilots become production modules rather than one-off demos.

Next step: Bahrain-based teams that want to supply into large buyers should register interest for early access to AI features through Procural channels, cross-reference the Tamkeen pavilion list for integration targets, and map a three-month pilot that measures cycle time reduction and on-contract savings against EDB-anchored enterprise roadmaps.
