From January to September, more than 140,000 bidding sessions took place on the Moscow supplier portal. Customer savings from lower starting prices during mini-auctions exceeded six billion rubles. Maria Bagreeva, Deputy Mayor of Moscow, Head of the Department of Economic Policy and City Development.
"Quotation sessions are an effective tool that helps government customers save budget funds. Over the first three quarters of 2025, 140,700 quotation sessions were successfully held on the supplier portal. Their total volume reached almost 48 billion rubles, 26 percent higher than the same period in 2024. Lower starting prices allowed state and municipal customers to save 6.1 billion rubles—11 percent more than the previous year. On average, seven entrepreneurs participate in one mini-auction, and the starting price is reduced by 14 percent. Construction, medical, household, and information technology goods were the most frequently purchased during quotation sessions. The total transaction volume in these categories amounted to 10.4 billion rubles—about a quarter of the total," said Maria Bagreeva.
Moscow-based bidders can purchase goods worth up to five million rubles, and works and services worth up to three million rubles, using quotation sessions. Mini-auctions last for three, six, or 24 hours. During these sessions, suppliers compete with each other, gradually lowering the starting price of the contract.

The largest number of contracts concluded during the quotation sessions were with suppliers from Moscow, the Moscow Region, and St. Petersburg. They accounted for 80,700 transactions—57 percent of the total—and the value of these contracts amounted to 22.6 billion rubles," noted the head of the Moscow Department of Competition Policy.
