Abstract:
The article is devoted to an in-depth study of contemporary mechanisms for modernizing the public procurement management system and analyzing the possibilities of implementing advanced international practices in the Republic of Armenia. Public procurement is a tool used by entrepreneurs to sell goods or services to state-owned companies. The scale of such purchases can vary from the supply of office supplies to the construction of buildings. In today’s economic reality, the effective management of public procurement is a decisive factor for promoting socio-economic development. It ensures the purposeful and efficient use of public financial resources and addresses one of the most urgent challenges of our time—the prevention of corruption and the reduction of corruption risks. The objective of this study is to outline the key directions for improving the public procurement management system in the Republic of Armenia and to define the principles that can enhance the overall efficiency of public administration. A special focus is placed on introducing modern approaches and tools, particularly the use of digital technologies and the development of electronic procurement platforms that comply with international standards. To support this, the research draws on the experience of leading countries and examines the possibilities and prospects of adapting such practices to the Armenian context. Governments worldwide continuously seek to reform their procurement systems to guarantee the effective, sustainable, and transparent use of public funds. Armenia, over the past three decades, has undertaken consistent reforms in this field, resulting in the establishment of a stable and functional procurement system. This system aligns with the revised text of the World Trade Organization (WTO) Agreement on Government Procurement, as well as the provisions of the Eurasian Economic Union Treaty. Given the state’s extensive financial resources, it can be regarded as the largest actor in market relations. Procurement, as a vital element of public administration, significantly influences economic, social, and state development priorities. Since procurement represents a major share of government budget expenditures, inefficient use of these funds can undermine the delivery of essential state functions. This highlights the urgent need for an effective, transparent, and optimized procurement process.
