Manama: The Supreme Council for Environment (SCE) has developed its digital service for purchasing chemicals from the local market, as part of ongoing government efforts to enhance and re-engineer public services. The service enables establishments to submit requests to purchase and sell chemicals, refrigerants, and regulated chemical substances, helping regulate transactions between local suppliers and buyers and ensure compliance with environmental and safety requirements.
According to Bahrain News Agency, the service's processing time has been reduced from 20 working days to five through full automation, streamlined procedures and documentation, and an improved user experience. Amina Hamad Al Rumaihi, SCE Chief Executive Officer, stated that the upgraded service strengthens oversight of chemical trading through automated verification and electronic linking with suppliers' registered data. This ensures purchases are made from licensed entities, verifies quantities, and digitally documents transactions.
She added that the service supports more efficient regulation of chemical trading and advances the government's drive towards high-quality digital services.
