Over the last decade Ukraine has been making attempts at creating a viable public e-procurement system that will satisfy the demands of its international partners, as well as domestic needs with the public procurement involving central governmental bodies perceived as corrupt by the public and business representatives. ProZorro.Sale became the answer to the pressing issues at hand as well as a beacon of hope for the anti-corruption efforts undertaken by the last two governments. The article explores the policy window that facilitated its launch and the latest legislative amendments introduced in order to address the drawbacks that became apparent when more and more users started interacting with the e-platform.
