SummaryThe purpose of the article is to study the problematic aspects of the functioningof the electronic public procurement system ProZorro in Ukraine and to develop proposals for minimizing abuses in the field of tender procedures. Research  methods: The article uses general scientific research methods, in particular: synthesis analysis – in the study of  scientific  literature  and  determining  the  features of the electronic public procurement system ProZorro; economic and statistical analysis and comparison – with indicators of public procurement in Ukraine; generalization – when developing recommendations for minimizing abuses    in the field of public procurement within the electronic system ProZorro. Scientific novelty: is to determine the main mechanisms of abuse in the field of public procurement in order to obtain illegal benefits: the fragmentation of  contracts and  the development of sub-threshold trade procedures and justification of ways to minimize them. In particular, in the articleIt is substantiated that non-competitive tender  offers  carry  high  corruption  risks and lead to inflated prices for the supply of goods, services and works. It is proposed to amend the Law of Ukraine «On Public Procurement» in order to prohibit the conclusion of additional agreements after the tender; prohibition to change the conditions of the tender and tender documentation after the announcement of tenders; prohibitions to combine goods into one lot and set  maximum  payment  terms for delivered goods for more than 30 calendar days.Conclusions: The study concludes that the electronic public procurement system ProZorro has a positive impact on the development of public  procurement  in  Ukraine, as it increases the transparency of bidding and tender procedures, expands opportunities for participation in tenders of  small  and  medium-sized  businesses  and more. However, shortcomings, first of all, in the law enforcement and judicial system of Ukraine are caused by frequent cases of corruption schemes in the public procurement system both within  the  ProZorro  system  and  outside  it.  Elimination of corruption schemes in the public procurement system is possible subject to amendments to the Law of Ukraine «On Public Procurement».Keywords: public procurement, ProZorro, tender, tender offer, electronic bidding, competitive and non-competitive procedures.
