ProZorro.Sale

ProZorro.Sale (Ukrainian: ПроЗорро.Продажі – transparent, clear sales of assets) is an electronic auction system designed to sell state property. Despite the name, it should not be confused with Prozorro – electronic procurement system. It was initiated by the Ministry of Economic Development and Trade of Ukraine, Transparency International Ukraine, the Deposit Guarantee Fund, the National Bank of Ukraine and the Ukrainian electronic platforms [1]. The goal of the system is a transparent, fast and effective sales of state and communal property, as well as fighting against corruption by the means of equal access to data, public control and the increasing number of potential buyers. This system was developed by the reputable international anti-corruption organization Transparency International Ukraine with a help of volunteers, NGOs, the business community and state bodies of Ukraine, the WNISEF fund, and other partners. During the pilot stage of the project, Transparency International Ukraine was administering the development of the system: ProZorro.Sale central database and some additional modules. Innovative technologies help to ensure the system’s transparency and monitoring: currently, there is an analytics module Qlik.

Later, it had to be transferred to state control.[2]In 2018 it was finally institutionalized and a state-owned enterprise ProZorro.Sale was created.[3]
