Prozorro Market

In 2022, the Prozorro Market electronic catalog has turned from a convenient additional tool for making purchases into a full-fledged alternative for government customers, which allows them to purchase the necessary goods, including electricity, in the shortest possible time. This became possible thanks to the update of the legislation, which we will talk about in this article. We offer to find out what has changed in the e-catalog over the year and what were the successes of its suppliers and customers. Data collected as of December 26th.

How Actively SmartTender Customers and Suppliers Used Prozorro Market?

During 2022, Prozorro Market suppliers registered on SmartTender.biz concluded 3,369 agreements with state customers for a total amount of UAH 423.26 million. Of them, 2,231 agreements were concluded based on the results of the competitive procedure of quotation for the price of offers – for the total amount of UAH 377.7 million.

Customers registered on SmartTender.biz concluded 815 deals for a total of UAH 115.81 million using the e-catalog.

The least active months in 2022 were March-June when government customers were able to make direct purchases outside the Prozorro system. During this time, an average of 15 suppliers and 6 SmartTender.biz customers concluded deals in the catalog every month, and the number of signed purchase contracts did not exceed 70.

At the end of June, the Cabinet of Ministers adopted amendments to Resolution No. 169, which returned competitive procurement to the Prozorro system and, accordingly, obliged most state customers to buy everything they need using tenders and an electronic catalog. This made it possible to gradually restore the dynamics of purchases on Prozorro Market to pre-war indicators.

Thus, during the remaining months of 2022, the activity of SmartTender.biz users was significantly higher: the number of unique suppliers who signed contracts was from 42 to 101, and the number of contracts concluded per month was from 275 to 717. Accordingly, the number of customers making purchases in the catalog was from 42 to 90.

How Has the Cost of Purchases in the Catalog Changed?

In October 2022, the government adopted Resolution of CMU No. 1178, which lifted the restrictions on the cost of procedures carried out on the Prozorro Market. Thanks to this, the average purchase price per year increased from UAH 54,000 (in January 2022) to UAH 299,000 (in December 2022). Thus, even in the conditions of a decrease in the number of purchases, suppliers can earn more from one concluded agreement.
