Public procurement is not a one—time action, but a whole process consisting of successive stages. To ensure that budget money is spent transparently and efficiently, each purchase goes through the same lifecycle — from planning to contract execution. Planning It all starts with a need. An organization (school, hospital, akimat) determines exactly what it needs: food, medicines, equipment, repair services, or construction. These needs are included in the annual procurement plan, which is published in the system. Purchase Announcement When the time comes, the customer places an ad on the public procurement portal. It specifies: the subject of the purchase, the terms of participation, and the deadline for submitting applications. From now on, any company or sole proprietor can review the documents and prepare for participation. Acceptance and consideration of applications Suppliers submit their proposals electronically. Applications are reviewed by the commission or the system automatically (depending on the purchase method). At this stage, it is checked: whether the participant meets the requirements, whether the documents are drawn up correctly, and to what extent the offer meets the customer's needs. Determining the winner Depending on the purchase method: In the auction, the winner is the one who offered the lowest price.; The competition evaluates not only the price, but also the quality, experience, and performance conditions.; When requesting price offers, simplicity and compliance are important. The decision is recorded in protocols that are published in the system and are accessible to everyone. Conclusion of an agreement An electronic contract is concluded with the winner through the public procurement portal. It sets out the terms, price and obligations of the parties. The agreement becomes legally binding from the moment the EDS is signed. Contract execution At this stage, the supplier fulfills its obligations: delivers the goods, provides the service, or performs the work. The customer, in turn, accepts the result and pays for it from the budget. Monitoring and completion After the execution, the contract is closed. If violations are detected (for example, substandard goods or non-compliance with deadlines), sanctions are applied. Complaints and inspections by authorized bodies are also possible. Conclusion: The public procurement life cycle is a transparent chain: need → announcement → applications → winner → contract → execution → control. Thanks to this, the state receives the necessary goods and services, and the business gets the opportunity to work on an open basis.
