Today, the state order is considered a more effective tool for supporting business than benefits or subsidies. There is also such a rule that municipal and state customers are obliged to place about 10-20% of the annual volume of supplies of finished products, services and works to be placed with small businesses. The calculation in this case is very simple: small and medium-sized businesses often use a narrow specialization. In other words, they have a small range of products that are characterized by high quality. However, only large enterprises can maintain a special structural unit that would organize participation in electronic trading. They also monitor government orders and submit relevant applications in a timely manner.

Electronic bidding: how to participate

Step-by-step instructions today are quiteoften on thematic sites and forums. Let's try to understand this procedure in more detail.

Placement of an order by a state or municipal enterprise is carried out in several ways:

- through bidding;

- request for quotes;

- purchase from a single supplier.

However, there are certain restrictions on the last two procedures. Thus, the request for quotations is applicable only if there are lots at a cost of up to 500,000 rubles. Purchasing from a single supplier is carried out on a limited range of goods, which may require an assessment both by price and by a variety of other criteria. Often, such a procedure is carried out when purchasing in the defense industry, science or high technology.

Electronic auction as an effective tool

In the conditions of modern management, electronic trading platforms are the main way to place government orders. Their share today is almost 60% of the total amount of trades. This type of auction is considered a highly effective tool in the fight against corruption. The advantage of this system is the anonymity of participants, transparency of information and high competition. E-commerce marketplaces prevent any bribes at the initial stage.

Auction search

What are electronic auctions, how to participate, step-by-step instructions - all information about this can be found on the officialsites where notices of auctions are also published. At the same time, they must be placed at least 7-20 days before the deadline for submitting applications, depending on the initial price. The following e-commerce marketplaces are known:

- Sberbank;

- "RTS tender";

- MICEX "Government Procurement".

Each of these sites has its own register of auctions. These sites are equipped with a convenient search form. Also, a summary list of auctions is on the corresponding information site of the Russian Federation. The search can be carried out by several criteria at once, which greatly simplifies the procedure for determining the desired lot.

The Ministry of Economic Development is responsible for the legal regulation of the state order. The Federal Antimonopoly Service controls the placement of orders.

Digital electronic signature registration

This procedure must be completed if a business entity is going to participate in electronic trading. You can purchase such an electronic digital signature at any certified center that has the appropriate accreditation on the very trading platform where the enterprise or individual entrepreneur is going to trade. The addresses of such certified centers by region can be found on the public procurement website.

Electronic digital signature is issued within three working days. It allows a document to be assigned a legal status in electronic form, which is a confirmation of the participant's liability for the decisions he makes during the bidding process.

Passing accreditation

No business entity has the right to participate in the auction without appropriate accreditation at the site where the electronic auction takes place. How to participate, step-by-step instructions for entering - all this corresponds to each individual marketplace.

In general, this procedure goes like this. You need to go to the official website of a particular platform, fill out a special form for accreditation, as well as an application for opening an appropriate account. An appropriate package of documents must be attached (constituent documents, an extract from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities, a protocol on the appointment of the head of the enterprise and a power of attorney for the right to participate in the auction). At the same time, the applicant for accreditation must fulfill the special requirements that are imposed by trading platforms.

Within a five-day period, the site operator considers the application and confirms the possibility of passing accreditation or a refusal is received, which should contain special comments with a note about the mistakes made. E-commerce marketplaces do not set any limits on the number of accreditation attempts. However, each subsequent application will still take five business days to process.

After accreditation, each participant on the trading platform will be created a personal account. Its functionality allows you to submit applications for participation in electronic auctions, take direct part in them, as well as submit requests for clarificationstender documentation.

Transfer funds to account

This is the next step you need to take to participate in the electronic auction. If electronic bidding and auctions are held among small businesses, then such a payment should be about 2% of the maximum initial cost of the entire order. Other cases involve the payment of 5% of such order value. After the auction ends, the amount will be unlocked and can be withdrawn from the account.

Only after the receipt of money on the account of the electronic platform, the participant has the opportunity to send an application for participation in the auction.

Up trading

Conducting various marketing research aimed at expanding the list of potential customers and monitoring prices is one of the services provided by trading platforms. Electronic auctions are not just an effective tool to reduce costs during the purchase of goods, but also a means of obtaining maximum profit in the process of holding them "to increase" prices when selling property or rental services.

Sale of seized property

In the conditions of modern management, the problem of non-repayment of leasing and bank loans is of particular relevance. The most common tool for compensation of material damage for financial institutions is the electronic trading of seized property. The sale of such property may be of interest to a wide range of people. At the same time, in practice, the Russian Federation lags far behind European states, where the sale of collateral by banks has long been regulated by a well-established mechanism. Electronic trading of seized property greatly simplifies the process of its sale.

For banking institutions, this form of implementation is beneficial. After all, for themseized property is a kind of "ballast", as its maintenance leads to an increase in unproductive expenses.

It is also necessary to remember that the prices for sold seized property are often underestimated, as banking institutions need to sell it as soon as possible.

Association of Electronic Marketplaces

The Electronic Trading Association is an integration of several trading and purchasing systems.

The work of these associations is carried out in the following directions:

- formation of an effective system of regulation of corporate and public procurement;

- standardization of working methods related to the use of electronic digital signature on trading floors;

- providing up-to-date and high-quality procurement information.
