The event was organized by the rating agency RAEX (RAEX-Analytics) on February 10, 2021 and was held in a mixed format online and offline. Its participants were more than 250 professionals of the electronic market. This is a record figure for the entire duration of the project.
Head of the Department of Routine Procurement of the FAA "ROSDORNII"Ekaterina Sukhanova took part in the section "Benefit from lockdown: know-how for the development of ETP services and improving the efficiency of corporate procurement".
The main topics of discussion were the long-term consequences of the "difficult" 2020 for the intercorporate e-commerce market and the ETP services market. Despite a significant decrease in the growth rate of intercorporate e-procurement, market participants adequately coped with the challenges, the most serious of which were the lockdown caused by the pandemic and the high volatility of the exchange rate in the first half of 2020. Lockdown accelerated the processes of digital transformation of corporate procurement, thus, the market has received an additional incentive for long-term development.
Also at the conference, the immediate plans of the Government of the Russian Federation to improve the system of state regulation of the electronic market were announced. In particular, it was announced that in 2021 it is not planned to conduct a new selection of ETP for procurement in accordance with Federal Law No. 223-FZ of 18.07.2011 "On procurement of goods, works, services by certain types of legal entities".
