THE EFFICIENCY AND COST-SAVING POTENTIAL OF MANAGING PUBLIC PROCUREMENT FOR BUDGET ORGANIZATIONS THROUGH ELECTRONIC STORES IN UZBEKISTAN

Authors

Abstract

This article focuses on examining the efficiency and economic benefits of managing public procurement for budget organizations in the Republic of Uzbekistan through electronic stores. The primary objectives of digitizing public procurement processes in Uzbekistan are to reduce corruption, ensure cost-effective use of budget funds, and increase transparency in the procurement process. The Law on Public Procurement (OʻRQ-684), adopted on April 22, 2021, and the Resolution on Measures for Improving the Public Procurement System and Promoting Small Business Participation (PQ-249), issued on July 10, 2024, have established new opportunities for conducting public procurements through electronic stores, marking significant steps toward economic efficiency. This article provides a detailed analysis of the impacts of using electronic stores in public procurement on Uzbekistanʼs economy, drawing comparisons with the experiences of countries like Indonesia, Kazakhstan, and Estonia. The study, based on public procurement outcomes via electronic stores from 2022 to 2024, reveals valuable insights into effective fund utilization and potential savings.
