The most popular trading platforms. Association of Electronic Trading Platforms

If you want to take part in any tender for the supply of goods (works, services), then you, as a participant in the competition, must submit an application. An application is a package of documents compiled in accordance with the customer’s requirements, which the latter describes in the tender documentation - we will talk about what an application should usually include in the following articles. The application can be submitted either on paper or in in electronic format– the requirement for the type of application is always included in the competition documentation.

Brief information about submitting applications

There is always a clause in the tender documentation about where this documentation is published and how the application is submitted. Typically, if a procurement is published only on the portal zakupki.gov.ru, then the application is submitted in paper form. This means you fill everything out necessary forms, make copies of the required documents, collect them into one application, draw up an envelope and deliver it to the customer’s address (send by express mail or courier). Sometimes the customer asks to attach a disk with a recorded electronic version of the documents to the paper application.

If the purchase is published not only on zakupki.gov.ru, but also on one of the electronic trading platforms (ETP), then the application is submitted to this ETP in electronic form. There is no need to send an envelope with a paper version anywhere. This method of submitting applications is very convenient, as it allows you to work with customers located in other regions of the country, and also significantly saves time and reduces financial expenses. The development of electronic document management itself is intended to simplify the exchange of documents between two business entities.

What is an electronic trading platform

ETP is a set of information and technical means, allowing tenders to be conducted electronically. Simply put, an ETP is a special website that has specially developed functionality that allows customers to hold competitions and suppliers to participate in them.

To work on any ETP, you must be registered and accredited for it. If you do not do this, you will not be able to participate in competitions - you simply will not have access to the functionality of the site. We will tell you how to get accredited for the ETP and obtain an electronic digital signature for this in the upcoming articles. Once accreditation is completed, you will be able to log into your Personal Area, make the necessary settings and begin direct work on the ETP.

If you do not register on the site, you will only be able to view competitions: you can say that you will have access in “reading mode”.

An ETP client who has been registered can become either a customer or a supplier. Today, ETP provides full tender support services for each of the parties, from the preparation and publication of tender documentation to the signing of the contract. What does this mean?

Modern ETPs can be integrated with information system customer. This allows customers not only to announce and conduct tenders, but also to analyze compliance with their procurement policies and exercise control. The advantage of working with an ETP for the customer is the opportunity to reduce their operating costs, since the platform itself is responsible for conducting the bidding procedure and ensuring the corresponding operations on the ETP.

For ETP providers, platforms offer services for setting up software at the workplace, obtaining an electronic digital signature, and issuing bank guarantees required as security for an application or fulfillment of obligations under a concluded contract. The main function of the ETP in relation to suppliers remains providing access to information about requests for proposals announced on the site and the ability to submit an application for any of them.

Why are electronic tenders preferable for both sides of the process? A few points worth noting here:

  • All actions are carried out using a computer connected to the Internet - this is a great saving of time and costs for both participants and customers;
  • Procurement is carried out on a competitive basis, the customer chooses the best commercial offer, that is, he has the opportunity to reduce his purchasing costs and save money;
  • To hold a competition, the customer must sufficiently accurately determine his need - as a result, the accuracy of planning the needs of the customer enterprise increases;
  • The procurement process carried out using the ETP functionality is quite transparent, the impact human factor here significantly reduced;
  • Suppliers can search for supplies they are interested in and new clients without leaving the office and without spending money on advertising - all the information is in the ETP, you just need to find the competitions that suit you.

Federal tender sites

There are quite a lot of existing electronic trading platforms, but all of them can be divided into two groups - federal electronic trading platforms and commercial electronic trading platforms. Federal ETPs are platforms that are specially selected by the authorities for conducting tenders in the field of public procurement. This means that any government customer at any level is obliged to publish their competitions only on these selected platforms.

There are currently five such sites:

  • Sberbank-AST sberbank-ast.ru is a subsidiary of Sberbank, conducts government procurement and corporate auctions;
  • Unified electronic trading platform (Roseltorg) roseltorg.ru - established by the Government of Moscow and the Bank of Moscow, conducts government procurement for large constituent entities of the Russian Federation (Moscow, St. Petersburg, the Republic of Bashkortostan, etc.), for large departments (Ministry of Defense, MSCh), for large corporate customers;
  • "RTS-tender" rts-tender.ru - works with government customers of the Siberian Federal District, as well as some federal departments, for corporate customers it provides the opportunity to conduct tenders through integration with a partner - the "OTS-tender" platform;
  • MICEX "Government Procurement" etp-micex.ru - works in the field of government procurement with the Federal Treasury, Federal service for defense orders, by some constituent entities of the Russian Federation, for corporate customers it provides the opportunity to conduct tenders through integration with a partner - the Fabrikant.ru platform;
  • All-Russian e-commerce system ZakazRF etp.zakazrf.ru/ - initially works with government customers different levels according to rep. Tatarstan now provides the opportunity to conduct bidding for a large group of other customers.

If you want to work with competitions in the field of public procurement, then you should pay attention to these five platforms. In this case, you will need to make an electronic digital signature with the scope of application “Government Order” - it will work on any of the listed systems.

Commercial tender sites

Commercial ETPs are platforms where other customers publish their competitions: legal and individuals, including individual entrepreneurs. Commercial ETPs have their own classification: they can be specialized or multidisciplinary. There is only one customer working at a specialized ETP, who created the ETP directly for himself. There are many customers represented on the multi-profile ETP, and the list of requested goods and services is not limited.

The number of commercial platforms is greater than the federal ones; information about most of them can be found on the website of the Association of Electronic Trading Platforms, which includes the main representatives of this group of electronic trading platforms.

Among the main commercial ETPs are:

  • B2B-center b2b-center.ru - the platform works with customers in various sectors of the economy, including metallurgy, chemistry, nuclear energy, agro-industrial complex, housing and communal services and aviation;
  • Otc.ru - the system works in partnership with RTS-tender and includes platforms in different directions OTC-tender, OTC-market, OTC-agro, OTC-finance and others;
  • Electro-torgi.ru electro-torgi.ru - the platform is focused on procedures for the sale of seized property and bankrupt property, as well as on conducting auctions that fall under the scope of Law No. 223-FZ;
  • TP "Fabrikant" fabrikant.ru - conducts tenders for purchases in the nuclear industry, shipbuilding, tenders for enterprises of the Norilsk Nickel group, purchases under 223-FZ;
  • ETP Gazprombank (ETP GPB) etpgpb.ru is a subsidiary of Gazprombank created for the organization’s clients. It has three sectors of work with procurement: the sector of the Gazprom group of companies, the sector of other corporate customers and the sector of bidding for the sale of illiquid property.

The listed ETPs are only a small part of the existing trading platforms on which you can work. Distinctive feature working on commercial sites is that registration and participation in competitions here are paid. Not all commercial platforms require a registration fee; large electronic trading platforms allow suppliers to register for free. Almost everyone charges a fee for submitting applications to competitions, with the exception of competitions for a certain list of customers.

How to choose a work site

To choose an ETP for work, you need to determine the purpose of your participation in competitions. If you are going to participate only in procurement related to government procurement, then the federal ETP should become the object of your attention. The issued signature key works on each of them; if necessary, you can register and work in all five systems.

When choosing a site, you should also take into account where the customers you are interested in work. If, for example, you are focused on working with customers in different sectors of the economy, then you can try your hand at the B2B-center, if you are interested in customers of the Gazprom Group - Gazprombank ETP. You should not strive to work on all sites at once, especially if you offer a specific product - choose the ETP where your potential customers work and who really need your product or services.

When choosing a platform, evaluate the ease of working with it and the financial costs that you will incur if you register on a commercial ETP. Currently, commercial platforms have several payment options for providing access services to work with electronic competitions:

  • The annual subscription fee is differentiated by the number of competitions in which you intend to take part, or by the amount of competitions for which you are going to submit applications: the greater the amount of competitions in which you want to participate, the greater the fee for working on the site;
  • Fee for each competition – subscription fee is absent for a year, but a fee is charged for each submitted application: some sites charge a fee from all participants who submitted an application, others - only from the winner, and the rest return the blocked money.

There are other options for paying for ETP services; before registering and starting work on any of them, it is recommended that you familiarize yourself with the financial regulations.

The list of electronic trading platforms that carry out electronic procurement for various commercial organizations is quite large. It is quite natural that it includes all the ETPs listed above, which are engaged not only in the implementation of trading under 44-FZ and 223-FZ.

Moreover, it is safe to say that the sites with the largest volumes of government procurement almost always top the ranking of commercial auctions.

This can be explained quite simply - to customers who in this case represent various commercial organizations and companies with state participation, but not subject to the above laws, are much more convenient and easier to work with well-known and long-established trading platforms.

In addition, it is precisely such ETPs as ETP GPB, Sberbank-AST, B2B-Center and the like that have the most a large number of registered suppliers, which is a serious argument in favor of working with them.

At the same time, the list of commercial ETPs includes a wide variety of trading platforms, some of which are universal, some are sectoral, and others are clearly tied to a particular region. Such a variety of ETP allows any customer and supplier to choose the most suitable trading platform for them. The most well-known commercial ETPs include:

Electronic trading platforms are like dating sites for entrepreneurs. Many sites are focused on large companies and the public sector, while small and medium-sized businesses bypass them. "Secret" has selected services that offer convenient solutions for procurement specifically for small companies.

Supl.biz

Price: free (basic tariff)

Company database: 1 000 000

Geography: Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Ukraine

Savings on purchases of up to 40% – this is the benefit Supl.biz promises its users. The platform is aimed at small and medium-sized businesses. Participating in auctions here is easier than on sites where government procurement and orders from other large companies are placed: to place an order, you just need to provide your name and email address. Customer requests do not reach suitable suppliers immediately, but after verification by the manager. There are more than a million companies in the performer database, some of them are not added to the site themselves, they are added by the site’s moderators - they call companies with a suitable activity profile and offer to register them in the system. According to statistics from Supl.biz, on average, one order receives about five offers from suppliers, and the first response comes within five minutes. It is not necessary to communicate with performers through the website: all contacts are open, offers are duplicated on email.

“I need newspaper printing”, “I need selfie sticks”, “I’m looking for a sugar supplier” - these are typical orders on this site. Most in demand printing Services(21%), supply of auto parts (19%) and production of business souvenirs (7%). Basic functionality is free, but expanding capabilities requires a fee from 2,900 rubles to 5,900 rubles per month. For customers, more advanced tariffs offer notifications to all eligible performers for the task (and not 20% as in the basic version), supplier verification, telephone notifications, a personal manager and other functions. Paid subscribers from among suppliers will be able to receive contacts of all companies (and not just those whose orders they respond to), highlight their commercial offers, create original design your profile pages. Performers can buy impressions of advertising banners, which can be targeted to customers in a specific region and field of activity (500-700 rubles per 1000 impressions, depending on the location).

Transactions.ru

Price: for free

Company database: 28 000

Geography: Russia

Large companies, together with representatives of small and medium-sized businesses, place orders on Sdelki.ru: for example, Lukoil and Gazprom make requests for the purchase of equipment for their branches. At the same time, the registration procedure is not bureaucratic, and working with the platform is free. Suppliers can not only add their offers manually, but also upload a YML file (Yandex Market Language - a format designed for adding products to Yandex.Market). To make purchases and sales for the entire company, it is not necessary to be under one account - the service allows you to add an unlimited number of employees. Each of them will be a separate user acting on behalf of the company.

Within an hour after submitting the application, the manager assigns the order to the appropriate category, and the advertisement goes to potential performers in their personal account on the website and is duplicated by email. All suppliers are verified by the service, they can be assessed by rating: it consists of the number of partners and company employees added on the site, as well as reviews of partners.

The service is suitable for companies that need goods and services in the fields of motor transport, construction or industry. Wall tiles, Miter saw, tire stand, cast iron radiator– requests for the purchase of such goods are most often found on the site. However, in other areas, too, most likely, you will be able to find the right contractor: about 900 thousand offers from suppliers have been published on Sdelki.ru. They sell both consumer goods and services - from checking real estate before concluding a purchase and sale agreement to drawing up a business plan.

Now the platform can be used for free, but in the summer Sdelki.ru plans to introduce tariffs, leaving the free basic option. Suppliers can pay separately to have their offers at the top of the list of products or highlighted in color (300 rubles for two weeks).

B2B-Center

Price: 1000 rubles per month (with participation in auctions up to 500,000 rubles)

Company database: 211 000

Geography: Russia and 93 countries of the world

This is not one resource, but a whole system of industry, regional and corporate trading platforms, mainly designed for orders from large private and public companies - their purchases reach hundreds of billions of rubles. For example, the energy company RusHydro carried out 8,708 procedures worth 326.8 billion rubles here, and the mining company Mechel performed 74,161 procedures worth 473.7 billion rubles.

However, small businesses also have their own option - the “Small Purchase” tariff, which does not require a connection fee and costs 1,000 rubles per month. In this case, it is possible to participate in the auction only with an announced price of up to 500,000 rubles. No additional expenses will be required: suppliers do not pay for winning the tender, and securing the application (from 0.5% to 5%, according to the law) is not mandatory and is done only at the request of customers. According to B2B-Center estimates, up to 30% of the platform’s users are small and medium-sized businesses, although at first glance the platform’s functionality seems redundant for small companies.

You will have to participate in the auction like an adult; there are almost no concessions for small businesses. First of all, you will need to meet a number of system requirements: for example, it is recommended to work if you have operating system Windows XP and in the Internet Explorer browser so that the electronic digital signature (EDS) is displayed correctly. To register, you must enter the details and addresses of the company, and participation in the auction is possible only after concluding an agreement, paying the invoice and receiving an electronic digital signature, if the company is registered in Russia. Here, for the “Small Purchase” tariff, an exception is made: users can participate in the request for prices and proposals without an electronic signature, unless the customer requires it.

To conduct bidding, you will have to understand various procedures: open competition, competitive negotiations, rebidding, and so on - 43 types in total. Each application corresponds to one procedure. Customers do not have to burden themselves with holding auctions, but instead look for goods and services in the site’s catalogue.

Unified electronic trading platform “Commercial procurement”

Price: for free

Company database: 145 000

Geography: Russia

The Unified Electronic Trading Platform (UETP) is one of the largest Russian electronic trading operators (first in transparency rating). The EETP has separate services for government and commercial procurement. If you are already registered in the “Government Procurement” segment, then you can participate in commercial bidding with this account. It is impossible to participate in tenders without an electronic signature - it is required for accreditation of both the customer and the supplier. Performers will need to transfer funds to secure the application to an account opened in the system. This money (from 0.5% to 5%, but not less than 5,900 rubles) is blocked for one working day for all bidders until a contract is concluded with the winner. You can also provide a bank guarantee to secure your application.

The bidding scheme, as is customary on large sites, is multi-level and differentiated, so registration only as a customer for small and medium-sized businesses may not be justified. However, in the last six months there have been more opportunities to find suppliers from your own size segment: since October 2014, the EETP has introduced relaxations for small businesses. Thus, winners of auctions with an initial contract price of no more than 100 thousand rubles may not pay for the victory (usually 5,900 rubles are transferred to the site’s account). Payment for the transaction does not take place through the platform - the EETP only ensures that the procedure is carried out, and suppliers and customers enter into a contract and themselves determine how they will pay.

The list of electronic trading platforms that carry out electronic procurement for various commercial organizations is quite large. It is quite natural that it includes all the ETPs listed above, which are engaged not only in the implementation of trading under 44-FZ and 223-FZ.

Moreover, it is safe to say that the sites with the largest volumes of government procurement almost always top the ranking of commercial auctions.

This can be explained quite simply - for customers, who in this case are various commercial organizations and companies with state participation, but not subject to the above laws, it is much more convenient and easier to work with well-known and long-established trading platforms.

In addition, it is precisely such ETPs as ETP GPB, Sberbank-AST, B2B-Center and the like that have the largest number of registered suppliers, which is a serious argument in favor of working with them.

At the same time, the list of commercial ETPs includes a wide variety of trading platforms, some of which are universal, some are industry-specific, and others are clearly tied to a particular region. Such a variety of ETP allows any customer and supplier to choose the most suitable trading platform for them. The most well-known commercial ETPs include:
