Suppliers can not only add their offers manually, but also upload a YML file (Yandex Market Language - a format designed for adding products to Yandex.Market).

However, small businesses also have their own option - the “ Small purchase", which does not require a connection fee and will cost 1,000 rubles per month. In this case, it is possible to participate in the auction only with an announced price of up to 500,000 rubles. No additional expenses will be required: suppliers do not pay for winning the tender, and securing the application (from 0.5% to 5%, according to the law) is not mandatory and is done only at the request of customers. According to B2B-Center estimates, up to 30% of the platform’s users are small and medium-sized businesses, although at first glance the platform’s functionality seems redundant for small companies.
You will have to participate in the auction like an adult; there are almost no concessions for small businesses. First of all, you will need to meet a number of system requirements: for example, it is recommended to work with the Windows XP operating system and in the Internet Explorer browser so that the electronic digital signature (EDS) is displayed correctly. To register, you must enter the details and addresses of the company, and participation in the auction is possible only after concluding an agreement, paying the invoice and receiving an electronic digital signature, if the company is registered in Russia.

Unified electronic trading platform “Commercial procurement”
Price: for free
Company database: 145 000
Geography: Russia
Unified electronic trading platform(EETP) – one of the largest Russian operators electronic trading(first in transparency rating). The EETP has separate services for government and commercial procurement. If you are already registered in the “Government Procurement” segment, then you can participate in commercial bidding with this account. It is impossible to participate in tenders without an electronic signature - it is required for accreditation of both the customer and the supplier. Performers will need to transfer funds to secure the application to an account opened in the system. This money (from 0.5% to 5%, but not less than 5,900 rubles) is blocked for one working day for all bidders until a contract is concluded with the winner. You can also provide a bank guarantee to secure your application.
The bidding scheme, as is customary on large sites, is multi-level and differentiated, so registration only as a customer for small and medium-sized businesses may not be justified. However, in the last six months there have been more opportunities to find suppliers from your own size segment: since October 2014, the EETP has introduced relaxations for small businesses. Thus, winners of auctions with an initial contract price of no more than 100 thousand rubles may not pay for the victory (usually 5,900 rubles are transferred to the site’s account). Payment for the transaction does not take place through the platform - the EETP only ensures that the procedure is carried out, and suppliers and customers enter into a contract and themselves determine how they will pay.
Hello, dear colleague! The trend in modern procurement is that most tenders are held in electronic form. Even in the public procurement sector, there are plans to move paper-based procedures to electronic format. Therefore, the time is not far off when absolutely all government procurement will be carried out through electronic procedures. As you understand, such electronic procedures are carried out on specialized sites on the Internet, which will be discussed in today’s article. From this article you will learn: what electronic trading platforms are, what types of platforms exist in Russia and what advantages they provide to customers and suppliers.
1. What is an electronic trading platform?
According to the already established tradition, I will begin the article with a definition.
Electronic trading platform (ETP) is a website on the Internet where(purchases). The electronic platform combines a set of organizational, information and technical solutions that ensure interaction between the customer (buyer) and the supplier (seller). Such interaction is carried out through electronic document management.
In fact, at present, an electronic trading platform can be called any Internet resource through which purchase and sale transactions are concluded between buyers and sellers.
Customers (buyers) are the organizers of auctions, thereby optimizing their costs for the acquisition of goods, works or services, and suppliers (sellers) post information about their goods or services.
The intermediary between the customer (buyer) and the supplier (seller) is the operator of the electronic platform (owner of the Internet resource).
In order to work on the ETP, the buyer and seller must have. How to obtain it is written in detail in. To work on the site you also need to register andon it, otherwise it will only be possible to view information posted in the open part of the site.
A site visitor who has passed the accreditation procedure becomes either a customer (organizer trading procedures), or a bidder (supplier).
2. Types of electronic trading platforms
There are several types of electronic platforms.
Firstly , these are federal (budgetary) trading platforms or, as they are also called, B2G (business-to-government) platforms. These are sites where customers are enterprises and government agencies. Such platforms are used to organize public procurement.
Secondly , these are commercial electronic platforms, i.e. B2B (business-to-business) platforms. The customers at these sites are commercial organizations.
There are electronic platforms that are created and supported by buyers (buyer-driven). In order to optimize their procurement process, one or more large companies create their own trading platform to attract a large number of supplier firms.
There are sites that, on the contrary, are created and supported by large suppliers (supplier-driven or seller-driven). Such companies are interested in expanding sales channels for their products.
And finally, there are platforms that are created and maintained by a third party - an intermediary between sellers and buyers (third-party-driven). This category of platforms is the most numerous. This type of platform is, in turn, divided into industry and multi-industry. Industry ones are created for one specific enterprise, for example, for Gazprom or Russian Railways. Multi-industry platforms, on the contrary, are not limited to the product range of just one enterprise.
Thirdly , these are platforms e-commerce between individuals C2C (consumer-to-consumer). A striking example of such platforms is the electronic auction - ebay.com. On such platforms, private individuals can sell goods to other private individuals.
Fourth , these are retail e-commerce systems where the seller is a company, and the buyers are mainly B2C (business-to-consumer) individuals. Most often these are online stores, such as ozon.ru, amazon.com and others, which sell a wide range of consumer goods.
Fifthly,This is an ETP for the sale of property of debtors (bankrupts). Such platforms are intended to automate the bidding procedure for the sale of debtors' property during the procedures used in bankruptcy cases in accordance with the requirements of Federal Law No. 127-FZ of October 26, 2002 “On Insolvency (Bankruptcy)” and Order of the Ministry of Economic Development No. 495 dated July 23, 2015
Federal electronic trading platforms
The list of federal trading platforms was determined by the Ministry of Economic Development of the Russian Federation and the Federal Antimonopoly Service of the Russian Federation as part of a special procedure and only budgetary organizations(state and municipal customers) operating within the framework of the contract system ( Federal law dated 04/05/2013 No. 44-FZ “On the contract system in the field of procurement of goods, works, services to meet state and municipal needs”).

What is a tender (trading) platform?
So, an electronic tender platform is a place where executors and customers of transactions meet and interact with each other, selecting suitable parameters for their implementation. Some sites include in their functions the development and preparation of the necessary tender documents, and also participate in the preparation of selection on a competitive basis of contractors.
Advantages
Another important detail of the effectiveness and usefulness of the existence of such trading platforms is the ability of companies to track their place among competitors producing analogues of their products in the turnover ranking and, thereby, analyze the ability of their enterprise to compete with the existing product on the market. This allows the company to develop new marketing moves and improve your trading position.
Species
Electronic trading platforms can be commercial or government. Today there are only 5 state sites. There are more than a dozen commercial ones. Among them there are more well-known large players, such as b2b-center, and lesser-known ones with a narrow profile or regional ETPs. Commercial sites, as a rule, have paid access to participate in auctions.

Functions of tender platforms
Due to the variety of functions of tender platforms, they have many advantages. Thanks to the numerous list of bidders, the customer, turning to the electronic platform, has a wide and completely independent choice of order executors. At the same time, access to trading is possible from any corner of the world, working hours saves on collection required packages documents, and to select a suitable offer.
Companies offering a product or service at auction can significantly save money on advertising, and can also be confident in the transparency of the entire trade process.
The most important factor in the advantage of tender sites is the legal side: Russian laws are guaranteed to be observed in every procedure occurring at auctions.
Also, many commercial platforms provide tender support services for procurement participants. The cost of turnkey support varies from 12-15 thousand rubles to several tens of thousands per month.
The main functions of the ETP include:
- search for trading procedures based on various criteria;
- viewing tender documentation;
- personal account for securing applications for participation in procedures;
- automation of locking/unlocking cash on the account;
- carrying out electronic auctions, requests for quotations, proposals, competitions;
- submitting a request for clarification of tender documentation.
Tender sites in Russia
There are quite a lot of trading platforms operating in the Russian Federation, all of them are classified according to the types of services offered, the significance and purpose of transactions - these are platforms for international orders and supplies, for commercial purposes, federal tender sites for government procurement, as well as other specialized tender trading systems.
The industry division of electronic trading makes it easy to find orders that are profitable for the organization; the enterprise gets the opportunity to develop production, which will increase its profits and competitiveness.
Today, the largest state tender platform in Russia is Sberbank-AST. To participate in bidding on this site, neither the customer nor the contractor will pay anything, since state trading platforms provide their services free of charge; you just need to collect and fill out necessary documentation for accreditation.
Regional tender sites
Electronic platforms at the regional level are becoming the most convenient and recommended for effective work. Here auctions are held among companies located in any region of Russia. Such a system simplifies the search for the necessary orders, thanks to territorial restrictions for enterprises.
Let's sum it up
Electronic tender platforms help simplify the work of any purchasing or sales manager. Numerous opportunities open up for them to expand the list of clients, find a supplier with favorable sales conditions, simplify and speed up research into the level of efficiency of the enterprise, and be confident in the safety and legality of all transactions made at auction. And for public procurement, electronic trading platforms make a huge contribution to simplify procurement procedures and reduce the corruption component to a minimum.
There are federal and commercial ones. Today there are only 6 federal ones. Only they can carry out procurement in accordance with 44-FZ. There are more than a hundred commercial services. All of them have paid access to participate in the auction. Commercial tenders free of charge without registration can be found on the official websites of companies that are purchased under 223-FZ, such as Rosneft, Gazprom or Lukoil.
Do not confuse an electronic trading platform with information portal. In the first case, there is a full search for a supplier; in the second case, it is just a selection of tenders from various trading platforms. For example, when requesting “Commercial tenders Moscow and Moscow region,” 9 out of 10 results will direct you to search services and only one link will lead to a trading platform.
All federal platforms, in addition to sections for procedures under 44-FZ, have separate platforms for trading under 223-FZ. And the largest players, and, offer individual sections of such corporations as Central Bank RF, VTB Group, Russian Post, .
