Over the past six months, the capital has purchased goods and services from small businesses for 237.5 billion rubles. The most popular categories were medical products, construction materials and educational services, which accounted for more than a third of the total number of contracts concluded. This was reported by Maria Bagreeva, Deputy Mayor of Moscow, Head of the Moscow Department of Economic Policy and Development.
"Small businesses are actively involved in many capital projects. They are engaged in the construction of urban infrastructure facilities, road repairs, landscaping courtyards, ensuring uninterrupted supplies of food and medicine to schools, kindergartens and hospitals. In January-June of this year, Moscow concluded more than 133 thousand contracts with small businesses worth 237.5 billion rubles. Most often, the city purchased medical products and medicines from them: 25 thousand contracts worth over 64 billion rubles were signed for their supply. Construction materials and educational services were also very popular. In these categories, 12 thousand deals worth 7.6 billion rubles and almost 11 thousand contracts worth 1.2 billion rubles were concluded, respectively," said Maria Bagreeva.
The city creates favorable conditions for small businesses to participate in government procurement, including by improving laws on contractual relations. Since 2022, all purchases up to 20 million rubles will be made exclusively among small business entities (SMEs). This expands opportunities for enterprises, allowing them to participate in government tenders and develop their business. The share of small businesses in the capital's economy is also growing thanks to interregional cooperation in procurement.
"Moscow is actively developing cooperation with entrepreneurs from other regions of the country. In particular, over the first six months of this year, over 40 percent of contracts with SMEs were with regional suppliers, and their amount exceeded 73 billion rubles. Most often, representatives of small businesses from the Moscow Region, St. Petersburg, Krasnodar Krai, Tyumen and Nizhny Novgorod Regions participated in the capital's purchases – over 30 thousand contracts worth more than 42 billion rubles were concluded with them," the head of the capital's Department of Competition Policy emphasized.
