Dnipropetrovsk region has conducted about 15,000 auctions through the ProZorro public e-procurement system over the year and saved more than UAH 111 million.

"This will mark one year since Dnipropetrovsk region started work via ProZorro. We were among the first in the country who started this work before the adoption of the relevant law in Ukraine. The regional state administration started introducing the new electronic trading system and now all of our divisions and municipal agencies work using the system. Over the year we have conducted more than 15,000 auctions and saved more than UAH 111 million," Head of Dnipropetrovsk Regional State Administration Valentyn Reznychenko told reporters.

According to him, all auctions are controlled by analysts from the regional department of economic development. Every day the specialists handle up to one hundred of applications: they provide consulting services, find errors and fix them.

Every month the region holds seminars on how to work through ProZorro for entrepreneurs and civil servants. It has organized about 50 such seminars and workshops. There conducted special meetings, at which the structural units of the administration and municipal enterprises report on the work in the system and analyze mistakes. Violations of rules in ProZorro lead to personnel decisions.
