Organization of Control in the Field of Public Procurement using Digital Tools

Abstract. Introduction. The article describes the features of organizing external and internal control of public procurement using digital tools. It highlights the role and importance of the Prozorro electronic procurement system. It analyzes the main functions of external and internal control of public procurement, in particular the features of their implementation using such digital tools as Prozorro, YouControl, and Clarity Project. It highlights the features of organizing internal control of public procurement using digital tools by participants. The capabilities of new digital tools that are already in use and planned for implementation are presented. The practical use of the .007 search and analysis system in the context of organizing control of public procurement is summarized. The prospects for the development of digital control tools in public procurement at the present stage are summarized.

Purpose. Theoretical justification and practical analysis of modern approaches to organizing control in the field of public procurement using digital tools, as well as the development of recommendations for improving its effectiveness, taking into account current challenges and technological capabilities.

Results. There are a number of conditions and factors for effective control in modern conditions, one of which is the use of modern digital tools. Based on a study of the capabilities of the main digital tools, the authors have formulated key practical recommendations for organizing internal control of public procurement at the customer’s site. These include the formation of internal policy, ensuring employee training, the use of analytics in reports, responding to identified deviations, openness of control results, etc.  The main organizational measures for internal control of participation in procurement have been identified, in particular, the introduction of the practice of evaluating each tender before participation in terms of legal, financial, and reputational risks, and strategic planning.  

Conclusions. The digitization of control in the field of public procurement aims to improve technical tools and change approaches to public finance management. It is impossible to increase the effectiveness of internal and external control in public procurement without the use of digital tools.
