Samruk-Kazyna JSC boosts support for local producers through SKSTORE.KZ digital platform

A key mechanism in this effort is the SKSTORE.KZ electronic trading platform, modeled after leading global marketplaces and integrated with the Fund’s procurement portal.

Through SKSTORE.KZ, local companies — especially SMEs — gain direct and transparent access to the procurement processes of major companies within the Samruk-Kazyna Group.

At a recent briefing on “Supporting Local Producers within Samruk-Kazyna JSC’s Procurement,” the Commercial Director of QazCloud LLP — the operator of SKSTORE.KZ — Serikbol Urazalin, noted:

"Interest from businesses is steadily growing. We currently have over 14,000 registered suppliers, 95% of whom are SMEs. Among them, more than 500 are local manufacturers working with the Fund’s subsidiaries. In the first five months of this year alone, orders exceeded 14 billion KZT, with nearly one-third accounted for by Kazakhstani products.”

SKSTORE.KZ offers user-friendly formats:

– tenders up to 20,000 MCI across 49 product categories and 7 service categories;

– direct purchases up to 100 MCI across all product types.

All processes on the platform are fully automated: winners are selected within one business day, transactions are transparent, and participants receive full support throughout.

The platform ensures swift payments — suppliers receive funds within five business days — and also provides free training on a regular basis.

SKSTORE.KZ has established itself as an effective tool for supporting Kazakhstani manufacturers, stimulating SME growth, and enhancing transparency in procurement across the Samruk-Kazyna Group.
