Ukraine ready to assist WTO in enhancing international public procurement

Successful experience of ProZorro operation allows Ukraine to offer effective tools for improving the quality of international public procurement, particularly, the electronic portal for the aggregation of messages about international tenders.

First Economic Development and Trade Deputy Minister of Ukraine Maksym Nefyodov said this at a meeting of the World Trade Organization (WTO) on public procurement, held in Geneva, the press service of the Economic Development Ministry informs.

He noted that the positive experience of ProZorro system implementation in Ukraine could be useful for improving the quality of international procurement. "The access to information is currently the main obstacle to cross-border public procurement. There are a lot of sites, containing information about the tenders. We offer a ProZorro-style solution: to create an open electronic aggregator portal that automatically collects the relevant data on tenders," the Ukrainian official noted.

This approach will help to bring the quality of international tenders to the next level.
