The reform, implemented by the Defence Procurement Agency (DOT), aims to make the use of public funds as transparent, efficient and secure as possible, with robust safeguards for sensitive data.
Key Advantages of the New Procurement System
- Economic efficiency and quality: Fair competition among suppliers ensures better products at lower prices.
- Predictability for business: Clear, open rules allow Ukrainian and international manufacturers to plan effectively and scale production.
- Anti-corruption impact: Full digitalisation curtails human involvement and significantly reduces corruption risks.
Successful Case: The Large-Scale Pick-up Tender
A practical demonstration of the new approach was the recent 5,000 pick-up tender for the military. The tender identified four winning companies in less than a week following the announcement. Contracts are now being finalised, but experts already forecast substantial budget savings.
This procurement was notable for the MoD’s cooperation with the anti-corruption community, which ensured proper transparency and public oversight of the procedure.
