How to make better public procurement decisions with business intelligence

Ukraine’s Prozorro is a world-class electronic procurement system. The Prozorro and Transparency International Ukraine teams are among the leaders in developing business analytics platforms for public procurement management in Eastern Europe, using historical and transactional data to monitor procurement system performance, devise corrective strategies and measure the impact of their implementation.

Prozorro’s core principle ‘Everyone sees everything,’ ensures access to the procurement data through an open API. Such access to data has allowed the creation of unique analytical tools—both public and professional modules for public procurement analytics.
