Procurement Section

The Procurement Section is the backbone of the Procurement and Contracts Department by procuring all services and goods that are needed for HCT. The section receives all requirements and identifies different sourcing strategies to procure those goods or services in compliance with applicable regulations and governance. This includes floating RFIs, RFQs, RFPs, and public tenders using best practices in procurement.

Contracts Section

The Contracts Section is an HCT support function that works hand in hand with the Procurement Section, the end user, HCT Legal and the second party in order to deliver risk-free and executable contracts.

Being the final stage in the procurement cycle, the Contracts Section carries the responsibility of finalizing the award procedures timely, efficiently and in line with UAE Federal Law requirements. HCT contracts cover both the local and international markets and are of a variety of categories that are designed to meet HCT requirements.

Vendor Management Section

This section is responsible for managing vendor relationships. Vendor relationship management deepens buyer-supplier relationships to achieve a mutually beneficial goal and establish trust. An efficient vendor relationship management process can deliver benefits from quality increments and improved Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), to new innovations and a smoother flow of data.
