How Public Procurement Works in Russia

Public buyers in Russia advertise the bulk of their contracts through the Unified Information System (zakupki.gov.ru). Domestic tendering is governed by Federal Laws 44-FZ and 223-FZ, which sets the rules on competition, eligibility, and award, while internationally-funded projects additionally apply the procurement guidelines of the financing institution. Tender documents are generally issued in Russian, and contract values are denominated in the Russian ruble (RUB). Tracking the Unified Information System (zakupki.gov.ru) together with the multilateral and bilateral sources on BidsFactory gives the most complete view of the Russia market.
