1.0 Introduction
1.1 Background of Organisation
Roshn was developed as one of the prominent independent real estate development companies in Saudi Arabia that focuses on achieving the objectives of the Saudi Arabia Vision 2030. Saudi Arabia Vision 2030 is an ambitious plan seeking to transform the country from an oil-dependent country to a hub for investment for the Middle East states to create more employment opportunities and improve the standard of the citizen of KSA (ROSHN, 2024). Another goal of Vision 2030 is thus to meet the housing demand and encourage homeownership besides developing efficient, compact neighborhoods. This effort is mainly spearheaded by Roshn which aims at developing contemporary advanced cities in Saudi Arabia. This company’s mission is in line with Vision 2030 as it aims to build and provide 70% homes to Saudi families by 2030, affordable homes of good quality (Vision2030.gov.sa, 2022). To this end and in response to the above-discussed need, ROSHN partnered with the Public Investment Fund (PIF) to solidify its foundation as it began with the aim of designing and delivering long-lasting housing projects all across KSA. Strategist includes developing closed and compact environments consisting of residential apartments along with places of commerce, education, health care facilities and leisure that enhances the wellbeing of the population (Figure 1).

1.1.1 Commercial / Procurement
The size and type of projects being undertaken by ROSHN means that it requires an efficient and professional procurement department. Therefore, the Procurement and Commercial function as category of spend at ROSHN is directly charged with the responsibility of delivering obtainable dependable competitive resources on time to support the firm’s strategic housing development projects. This function is divided into two main areas: the Vendor Management Team (VMT) and the Commercial Procurement Team. The VMT is concentrated primarily on supplier sourcing, solicitation, and monitoring in order for ROSHN to work with only the vendors that have sound business ethics and good compliance records. In its turn, the Commercial Procurement Team oversees typical procurement activities, including contracting,resourcing, supplying, legal and regulatory standards compliance and synchronization of purchasing with the company’s goals and objectives ensuring that all resources contribute effectively to the organization’s mission within Vision 2030 (CIPS, 2022).
