KIEV, Aug. 1 - All state procurements in Ukraine will be carried out with the use of the ProZorro e-procurement system starting August 1, the Economic Development and Trade Ministry said.

"Over the 12 months the ProZorro pilot project has been in effect, savings have exceeded UAH 1 billion (the total sum of the funds saved as of today is UAH 2.6 billion). Therefore we call on all responsible customers to use ProZorro when even handling purchases worth small amounts of money. This is easy, user-friendly and advantageous," Deputy Minister Maksym Nefyodov said.
