Unlock Deal Value Faster: Procurement & Localisation for GCC Private Equity

Rapid diligence, post-close synergy capture, and localisation compliance for buy-outs, bolt-ons, and platform builds across Saudi Arabia and the UAE.

Why procurement & local content matter now

Dry-powder competition and lofty valuation multiples leave little room for error: every riyal of EBITDA uplift counts. World-class procurement—cleansheet pricing, volume aggregation, and accelerated tender waves—can unlock 5–15 % run-rate savings within the first 100 days, protecting return hurdles even when exit lanes compress. Sponsors that bake procurement upside into pre-deal models today outbid rivals without stretching leverage tomorrow. 

 

Regulators and sovereign LPs are tightening localisation expectations. Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 scorecards and the UAE’s National ICV program influence licensing, customs, and public-sector revenue potential for portfolio companies. Embedding LC weighting in RFQs, fast-tracking supplier-development clinics, and aligning workforce plans turn compliance from box-ticking into a premium-valuation narrative—futureproofing exits to strategic or IPO buyers. 

 

Finally, integration speed is the new alpha. Whether rolling up clinics, logistics providers, or software resellers, sponsors must rationalise contracts, systems, and governance at pace. A proven procurement operating model—clear RACIs, digital approval flows, and real-time synergy dashboards—keeps Day 1 value leaks in check and sustains savings throughout the hold period.
