Abstract
This article examines the problems of the Russian public procurement system based on the analysis of assessments from a mass survey of both customers andsuppliers. It is shown that despite a significant change in legislation, most of theproblems that were noted by researchers and practitioners 7-8 years ago remain including price dumping, regulatory collisions and low competition in public bids. The paper analyses the differences in assessments of these problems with respect to the respondents’ experience and other factors. We also claim that one of the reasons for the lack of positive developments in the perception of procurement regulation isthat the changes in the legislation were based on the interests of government agencies and did not take into account the needs and opinions of immediate participants of procurement process. On this basis we formulate proposals for conducting regular monitoring of opinions and assessments of ordinary customers and suppliers.
