Currently, participation in tenders takes an important place in the work of the procurement department of the organization. If the company has a proven algorithm for participation in tender procurement, which starts from planning and ends with the signing of a contract with the customer, this will increase the level of productivity in the organization, as well as avoid the negative moments that arise with rare participation in tenders due to poor awareness of procedure for holding tenders.
The fact of a transaction at the auction is one of the ways to conclude an agreement, which has existed from the origins of the development of trade. A modern vivid example of bidding is the government procurement website. It unites all electronic platforms where transactions are carried out and contracts for public procurement are drawn up. Tenders are held not only on the official public procurement website, where only a government organization can be the customer.
There are many electronic platforms where private organizations can place tenders. All online trading platforms work according to the same principle, but they can be classified as:
- commercial - universal ETP ESTP. RU, ETP GK Rostekhnologii, ETP "Setonline", ETP Baltiyskaya, ETP "ELECTRO-TORGI. RU", ETP GazNeftetorg.ru, etc.;
