Advantages of Prozorro Market
The Prozorro Market electronic catalogue is available to military units from all branches of Ukraine’s Defence Forces that make purchases using decentralised budget funds.
It is intended primarily to meet specific and urgent needs of military units. A service member selects the required category and product, while DOT, as the centralised procurement organisation, administers the process—from establishing requirements to qualifying suppliers.
In April 2026, DPA DOT obtained the status of a centralised procurement organisation (CPO). This enabled military units to purchase defence goods using decentralised budget funds through Prozorro Market, which is administered by the Agency.
The Ministry of Defence noted that this approach significantly simplifies the procurement process for the military by shortening procurement times, reducing the administrative and bureaucratic burden, and minimising risks when selecting suppliers.
"What military units previously had to organise independently is now handled by the Agency. In particular, DOT takes responsibility for conducting market consultations, developing and standardising technical requirements, establishing qualification criteria, and selecting and vetting suppliers. Military units must have a simple and transparent way to purchase what they need using decentralised budget funds without spending time on complex procurement procedures. As a CPO, the Agency assumes the part of the work that each military unit previously had to perform independently. We are gradually expanding Prozorro Market so that it can meet an increasing number of the military’s standard needs," said DPA DOT Director Arsen Zhumadilov.
