Robotization will be a key development area for the capital's public procurement system in the coming years. This will improve the efficiency of procurement processes and more effectively distribute the workload among contracting service specialists, according to the head of the Moscow Department of Competition Policy. Kirill Purtov at the plenary session of the IV All-Russian Conference on Procurement in Sochi.
"Every seventh ruble in the Russian procurement system goes to Moscow customers, and the total volume of government procurement in the capital in 2025 has already exceeded 1.3 trillion rubles. The Moscow contracting system is a large and complex mechanism, and our goal is to speed up and simplify its operation. Robotization will be one of the tools for this in the near future. This involves the use of artificial intelligence to forecast the timing and volume of customer needs, taking into account data from existing contracts and warehouse inventory. The implementation of such technologies will improve planning accuracy, reduce costs, and optimize the workload on staff," noted Kirill Purtov.
In his speech, the Head of the Department also emphasized the development of the supplier portal—a platform for small-volume procurement. The portal helps customers quickly obtain high-quality goods, work, and services at competitive prices, while enabling suppliers from across Russia to develop their businesses and enter the interregional market. Krasnoyarsk Krai, the 43rd region, recently joined the platform.
The portal is actively developing additional services based on artificial intelligence. For example, neural network algorithms assist suppliers in filling out product cards, and a smart chatbot provides answers to the most common procurement questions.
The 4th All-Russian Procurement Conference is taking place in Sochi on October 2–3. The event is attended by heads of Russian regions, representatives of the Federal Antimonopoly Service, federal and regional executive authorities, state-owned companies, and expert communities.
