The Republic of Tatarstan continues to demonstrate high efficiency in the field of public procurement, which is confirmed by the results for January-September 2025. The budget funds saved are used for the implementation of important social and infrastructure projects in the republic.
For the first 9 months of this year, the total savings in concluding state and municipal contracts amounted to 4.08 billion rubles, which corresponds to 2.1% of the total amount of purchases. Regional customers provided savings of 2.87 billion rubles (1.69%), including government authorities and government institutions — 1.67 billion rubles (2%).
"The largest relative savings were demonstrated by municipal customers — 1.21 billion rubles, which accounted for 5.1% of the volume of purchases at their level. The leaders were local governments and municipal government institutions, which saved 0.88 billion rubles with a relative saving of 6.68%," commented Marat Ziatdinov, Chairman of the State Procurement Committee of the Republic of Tatarstan.
In total, 44,868 contracts totaling 215.92 billion rubles were signed in Tatarstan during the reporting period.
