Since January 2025, a new Law "On Public Procurement" has entered into force, aimed at improving the quality of purchased goods, works, and services, simplifying procurement procedures and further automating them.

One of the important tools for implementing the provisions of the Law is the web portal of public procurement, which provides a single point of access to electronic public procurement services for all participants in the procurement process.

Due to the complete digitalization of procedures (from planning to the fulfillment of contractual obligations, procedures are automated), the web portal has become a guarantee of openness, accountability and accessibility of information for all stakeholders.

So, taking into account the new Law in 2025 on the web portal:

- the terms of the competition have been shortened (discussion of the tender documentation from 5 to 2 working days; acceptance of applications from 15 to 5 working days; consideration of applications from 10 to 3 working days);

- a new procedure for appealing the results of purchases has been implemented. In order to conduct the procurement promptly and avoid delaying the procedure, complaints are considered by the procurement organizers themselves;

- work continues on the priority purchase of domestically produced goods on the web portal by establishing exemptions from the national regime in order to support the domestic market;in order to support small and medium-sized businesses, priority procurement of goods, works and services has been established, the cost of which does not exceed 50,000 MCI from this category of entities;

- in order to promote competition and protect business, applications from suppliers who are government agencies and quasi-public sector entities are automatically rejected by the web portal if there are at least two applications from suppliers who are private business entities.

In addition, a Single procurement platform has been launched on the basis of a Single Operator, through integration with existing procurement sites (goszakup.gov.kz , zakup.sk.kz , mitwork.kz), which provides a single access point for participation in public procurement, procurement of national companies and procurement of the Samruk-Kazyna Fund.

Based on the results of the measures taken on the web portal:
- the number of registered users amounted to more than 18 thousand customers and 102 thousand suppliers;
- the amount of concluded contracts doubled from 3.4 trillion tenge (2024) to 7.2 trillion tenge (2025);
- the number of concluded contracts increased by 23% from 870 thousand (2024) to 1,072 thousand (2025);
- the number of complaints filed was reduced by 25% from 22 thousand (2024) to 16 thousand (2025);
- the amount of contracts concluded with domestic producers increased by 137% from 150.8 billion tenge (2024) to 357.0 billion tenge (2025).

Thanks to full digitalization, every step in the procurement process is recorded in the electronic system and automatically saved on the portal. This structure contributes to the formation of a competitive environment where all suppliers have equal conditions for participation. This opens the way for new market participants and stimulates the growth of the quality of public procurement.

In addition, anyone can track purchase announcements, bidding results, concluded contracts, and customer actions. This enhances public control and reduces the risks of unfair practices.
