RT State Committee on Procurement reported on business support measures and changes in the public procurement system
By the end of 2025, Tatarstan's customers signed about 77,000 contracts, of which over 44,000 were with small businesses. The share of SMEs was 57%, and the total amount of such contracts exceeded 59 billion rubles. Such data was announced today by the Chairman of the State Procurement Committee of the Republic of Tatarstan, Marat Ziatdinov, at a press conference at the Tatar-inform news agency.
He noted that the State Committee conducted 814 centralized purchases worth over 8 billion rubles, of which 574 (more than 70%) were from small businesses. More than 80% of the contracts were concluded with republican suppliers.
"Among the main changes in 2026 are the increased responsibility of participants for false information in applications, the lifting of restrictions on the number of protocols of disagreement, as well as the possibility of posting a reasoned refusal to conclude a contract," the chairman of the committee said.
He also noted that work continues to support local producers. The cartridges are purchased from the only Russian factory in Mendeleevsk. More than 80% of the contracts were concluded with republican suppliers. The largest volume of purchases from small businesses accounted for computer equipment (210.01 million rubles), office paper (147.36 million rubles) and vehicles (139.45 million rubles). In 2026, it is planned to continue work on second–hand procurement, one of the key measures to support small and medium-sized businesses.
In 2025, in support of Tatarstan's customers and suppliers, the State Committee held 4 educational events with the participation of 1,672 students, 242 of them business representatives. On March 24, 2026, the first zonal educational seminar for representatives of the procurement sector of 11 districts of the republic will be held in Arsk this year.
"Our main task is to control and help, protect customers and suppliers from violations, and assist manufacturers in selling products, creating transparent and competitive conditions for effective interaction between government and business," summed up Marat Ziatdinov.
