Riyadh – Sharikat Mubasher: Dubai-based procurement advisory firm Sourcing Connections announced that it has expanded its presence into Saudi Arabia, backed by AstroLabs, to help organizations modernize procurement functions and improve operational performance across the Kingdom.

The company said in a recent press release that its Saudi expansion will enable it to work more closely with public and private sector organizations as they adopt more structured, data-driven procurement strategies.

The move comes as Saudi Arabia's estimated $1.8 trillion project pipeline continues to drive demand for specialized procurement expertise across sectors, including infrastructure, manufacturing, energy, and giga-projects.

Commenting on this, Mark Fadel, Founder and Managing Director of Sourcing Connections, said procurement plays a central role in supporting the Kingdom's Vision 2030 objectives, adding that the company aims to help organizations build lasting procurement capabilities through practical and sustainable solutions.

Meanwhile, Fouad Fattal, Vice President of Commercial at AstroLabs, said the Kingdom's next stage of growth will depend not only on investment but also on specialist expertise, noting that procurement advisory firms can play a key role in improving operational performance and creating long-term value.
