Introduction: the level of digitalization of the Russian economy achieved so far contributes to the formation of a digital platform for the public administration, whose further improvement will undoubtedly accelerate and simplify the interaction of the state with business. In recent years, the procurement sector has also been reformed in this direction: its electronization has been carried out, whose important stage has been the creation of a Unified Information System. The relevance of studying the results of these reforms lies in the need to identify the barriers to the development of electronic procurement, whose transformation into digitalization will certainly contribute to improving the efficiency of Russia’s economic development. The purpose of the study is to assess the effectiveness of the electronic procurement system in Russia and to identify the factors hindering its development to develop proposals for its improvement. Methods: the methodological framework for the study is statistical and theoretical analysis, synthesis, comparison. Results: the paper presents the assessment results of the effectiveness of the electronic procurement system in Russia, its role in the country’s economy, as well as the factors hindering its development. In the course of the analysis, the main characteristic features of the modern procurement system are highlighted; the relative savings in procurement are investigated. Conclusions: among the key shortcomings, the instability of the legislation in procurement and the wrong orientation of efforts to improve the functioning of the Russian procurement system are identified. The results obtained can serve as a basis for the development of proposals for its further development.

Abstract Treaty of Rome of 1957 and following treaties on amending the Treaty of Rome contain a number of basic principles on which the EU is founded. Among these principles, the most important ones related to the public procurement are: prevention of discrimination based on nationality, free movement of goods; right and freedom of establishment of a business; the right to provide services. Spending of public money in Kosovo pursuant to the Law on Procurement is found on the following principles: economization and efficiency; equal treatment and non-discrimination; transparency; value for money. The average of open procedure application in EU countries is 73% based on notices, whereas in Kosovo is 82.80% based on notices. In the end of 2014, Kosovo commenced the development of electronic procurement platform. This project takes place within the Public Sector Modernization Project. The importance of the electronic procurement is stated in the statement of European Commission: “Modernization and opening of procurement markets across borders - including through the electronic procurement expansion - are crucial for the competition in Europe and creating new opportunities for businesses in EU”. A good procurement system in Kosovo will have an impact on elimination of negative phenomena (corruption and bad management) in the management of public expenditures from spending agencies, as well as an impact on increase of budget saving.

The issue of reforming the institute of state (public) procurement is one of the key directions of the modernization of the administrative sector of our state. Increasing the efficiency of this institute should be recognized as one of the conditions for ensuring stable economic growth. In this regard, issues relating to the assessment of the efficiency of the use of public funds are of particular interest. The indicators of the efficiency of the activity of the public procurement sector in Ukraine in the context of the introduction of the “ProZorro” electronic procurement system are calculated and analyzed. The existing works of the individual scientists in the direction of developing indicators of the efficiency that can be used to evaluate the results of the operation of the procurement logistics system in the public sector in Ukraine are generalized. As a result, approaches have been identified that can be used to determine the effectiveness of the participation of customers, private sector representatives and the system of electronic public procurement in general. On the basis of retrospective data of past years and the first half of the current year, a number of estimates of absolute and relative savings, as well as indicators of the effectiveness of the open bidding in the public sector of Ukraine have been identified. The dynamics of these indicators before and after the introduction of the “ProZorro” electronic procurement system was analyzed. The analysis shows that the first results of the functioning of the “ProZorro” system demonstrate the existence of negative trend of competition and reduction in the amount of savings in public funds. Ensuring high efficiency and competitiveness, integrity and transparency of the procurement process are the main tasks of the Ukrainian government in the field of public procurement. The authors argue that the introduction of the “ProZorro” system can help to solve them successfully, and the application of the analytics module enables to calculate the savings from the use of this system.

The paper presents the results of a study focused on the so-called internal aspect of e-government – i. e., the aspect of the civil servants. It is wellknown that in both Slovenia and most other countries there is a significant discrepancy between the selection and the actual use of the possibilities that e-government provides. A substantial number of researchers have been intensely engaged in the study of factors inciting (mainly) the citizens to use e-government. In our belief, those factors need also be searched for within the internal e-government users, i.e. the civil servants. In this perspective, we have examined: (1) their use of, and satisfaction with, information technologies in the job context; (2) their skills required for e-government; (3) the effect of e-government on their job, their organisation, and public administration in general; (4) their views of further development of e-government within the public administration. A number of results indicate that responsibility for the low use of e-government by citizens and enterprises can in fact be partly ascribed to the civil servants. Further, the research has revealed that the surveyed civil servants lacked sufficient skills required for an active participation in the development of e-government, and that this development has not resulted in any vital changes in the operations of the public administration.

The article analyzes ways to increase the efficiency of public administration in the field of procurement. The legal and regulatory conditions that affect the ability of the private sector to interact with the public sector in order to make a profit are described. The analysis of these conditions focuses on two key aspects: the procurement process, starting from the stage of formation of demand for goods, work, services and ending with the implementation of the state contract, and the mechanism for reviewing complaints in the system. The following indicators of system efficiency were used as indicators for these processes: needs assessment, invitation to participate in procurement; submission of applications; consideration, evaluation of applications, conclusion of a contract; content and management of the contract; warranty obligations; payment obligations; complaints submitted to the bodies of first instance; complaints filed with the bodies of second instance. It should be noted that this list of basic data is not exhaustive, but most significantly affects the final effect of the implementation of norms and rules of procurement in the country. Based on the results of the analysis of the World Bank research, recommendations have been developed for improving the organizational and administrative methods of managing the system of goods, works and services procurement. It is proved that the assessment of the economic efficiency of placing an order can be carried out in comparison with: the maximum possible indicators within the procedure completed by the time of analysis; with generalized results of the initial level using the same procedures; with positions planned by the customer, taking into account one or more indicators. The opinion on the need to analyze all the processes taking place in the public procurement system: from procurement planning to monitoring the progress of the contract. In addition, it is emphasized that when assessing the effectiveness of procurement, it is necessary to take into account not only the economic efficiency and effectiveness of the procedure, but also social efficiency, as one of the objectives of procurement is to meet customer needs.

The article examines the development of digital technologies in Ukraine on the example of public procurement as a tool for monitoring the effectiveness of government. It was found that the practice of applying public procurement methods in Ukraine in 2019 tends to apply non-competitive methods of public procurement. In particular, from competitive procurement methods, the organizers used pre-threshold procurement (10.79 % of transactions) and open bidding (6.93 %) using an electronic procurement system. Instead, the use of such a non-competitive method as the "contract report", which does not involve the use of electronic procurement system, in 2019 increased compared to 2018 by more than 22% and accounts for more than 77 % of total procurementThe following areas of information technology development are proposed: elimination of the influence of the human factor on the decision-making process regarding public procurement; unification of requirements for registration of documents for all subjects of procurement; selection of procurement winners among bidders' applications according to an automatically generated algorithm, without the participation of an "interested person"; formation of an integrated information system for monitoring public procurement. The integrated information system will allow monitoring of public procurement in a continuous manner, and based on the monitoring results, transactions that have one or more of the signs of risk will be subject to control.

Informatisation of the public administration of the Slovak Republic aims to create a functional architecture of the integrated information system. This system also includes the development of Agenda information systems that provide electronic services in the most automated mode, according to the principle all at once. In the field of water transport, there is currently no fully functional agenda information system. Creating an Agenda Information System (AIS) will allow multi-channel electronic access to public transport services in water transport. The complex information solution of the water transport agenda will be digitalized for individual applications and submissions. Part of the Waterway Agenda Information System will also be the establishment of a client zone, an online tool that will provide online information for users and providers. This tool will allow personalized client notifications that simplify the process for all parties involved (public administration, entrepreneurs, or individuals).
