Bintulu Port Holdings has launched a shared digital procurement marketplace connecting its subsidiaries with more than 250 suppliers. The platform replaces paper-based quotations with catalogue-based purchasing and links to the group's existing BePRO system. Buyers can compare prices and delivery lead times, while orders are tracked from purchase order through goods receipt to invoice. Under the arrangement reported by The Borneo Post on October 13, Koperasi Pelabuhan Bintulu Bhd (KOPELA) acts as the sole master vendor and Borong runs the technology. The contract lasts two years, with an option for a further year. Bintulu Port says the suppliers already onboarded include 99 existing registered bidders and 153 Sarawak-based vendors. For local businesses, the change is a digital catalogue channel to reach the group's buyers, not a promise that every registered supplier will receive an order. Specialised maritime services, including vessel supplies, bunkering and maintenance, are described as the next expansion step. They should not be mistaken for services already available on the new marketplace.
