In 2018, a number of publications on procurement systems of the regions of the Russian Federation, regulated by 44-FL, were launched, including the results of the Rating of efficiency and transparency of procurement systems of the regions of the Russian Federation, which since 2015 has been conducted by the All-Russian public organization “Guild of domestic buyers and specialists in purchasing and sales”. A distinctive feature of this rating from other existing projects for evaluating regional procurement activities is the multidimensionality of assessment. The Rating Toolkit provides an opportunity to form analytics that allow making management decisions to improve the region’s procurement system, including experience of other regions that have reached higher levels. The r ating of r egions is built in eight indicator s separately for state and municipal procurement: assessment of the organizational structure of procurement in the region; assessment of the information infrastructure of the region; regulatory framework of the region; assessment of customers’ professionalism and availability of qualified personnel; evaluation of procurement procedures; compliance with procurement law requirements; execution of contracts; removing administrative barriers and ensuring the availability of information on the regional system of state and municipal procurement. The rating building mechanism is “alive”; it is updated as the legislation on procurement changes. The results are summarized for each indicator separately, which makes it possible to identify the strengths of the region in specific areas of procurement activities. The rating is calculated annually based on the results of the previous financial year. Participation in the rating is voluntary. In 2017 (following the results of 2016) 40 regions took part in the calculation of the Rating. In 2018, 46 regions took part in the State Procurement Rating and 35 by municipal ones. In 2019, the number of participants makes up 51 regions for government procurement and 38 for municipal purchases. Leaders were identified for each of the nominations. All information on the calculation process and the results of the Rating is open and posted on the website of the All-Russian public organization “Guild of domestic buyers and specialists in purchasing and sales”.
