Cloud procurement platform for hotel groups in Dubai — Quotations, Pricing and Delivery Together
A hotel group’s purchasing team doesn’t just need a supplier — it needs a quotation that its own finance and procurement process can actually check: item codes, quantities, unit prices, VAT broken out per line, and a total that reconciles against a purchase order. Baqalat.Express, run by Baqalat Express FZCO in Dubai Silicon Oasis, is built around producing exactly that kind of itemised quotation for wholesale hospitality supply.
Every quotation line carries the item code, the quantity requested against its minimum order quantity, the net unit price in euros, the equivalent in dirhams at a published daily reference rate, and the 5% UAE VAT for that line shown separately — not folded into a single headline number your finance team then has to unpick. That structure exists specifically so a hotel group’s procurement software or spreadsheet process can ingest it without reformatting.
The catalogue behind those quotations covers packaged food and beverage, household, textile and furniture lines, sourced from vetted European wholesale and liquidation suppliers, which means the exact items and prices available can change as supplier lots turn over — your quotation reflects what is actually available and priced at the time you request it, not a stale published list.
Our team prepares your quotation from the items and quantities you send us, with a turnaround of typically a day or two, longer for larger multi-property requests while we confirm availability across supplier lots. Payment is 100% prepayment through iSAP.Wallet before dispatch; we do not currently offer account credit terms.
We built the process this way on purpose: a hotel group's purchasing team usually has to justify a supplier choice internally, and a document with clear line items, quantities and tax treatment is easier to defend in that process than a generic invoice. As order volume grows we plan to move parts of this into a self-service portal, but only once we can keep the same level of line-item detail automatically.
It is a more advanced quotation structure than a generic price list for exactly that reason: every line is traceable back to an item code, a quantity, a unit price and its own VAT treatment, which is what makes it usable inside a hotel group's own procurement workflow rather than something that has to be re-typed.
Frequently asked questions
- How do we receive the quotation?
- As an itemised document — item code, quantity, unit price, VAT and total per line — built to be checked directly against your purchase order process.

- Can you handle a consolidated order across multiple properties in a group?
- Yes — send us the items and quantities per property (or consolidated) when you request a quotation, and we'll itemise it accordingly.
- How current is the pricing?
- Pricing reflects what's actually available from current supplier lots at the time you request a quotation, since the catalogue changes as lots sell through.
