KIEV, July 10 – The Security Service, after revealing substantial infringements during the implementation of state procurement, has proposed to the Cabinet of Ministers to oblige state-run enterprises which carry out state procurement using their own funds to post information on the outcome of the state procurement on the state procurement Web site (tender.me.gov.ua).

The letter on the criminalization of the state procurement area, a copy of which has been sent to the ZN.UA portal, was sent by SBU head Oleksandr Yakymenko on April 11 to Prime Minister Mykola Azarov.

According to the letter, from 50% to 75% of budget assignments during the state procurement procedures are used with many infringements. Due to the corruption deals in the state procurement area the losses of the budget total 10-15% (UAH 35-52.5 billion) every year.
