Electronic trading platforms. Electronic trading platforms: definition, types of platforms, functions Trading platforms for tenders

What is an electronic trading platform? Why is it needed, what types of electronic trading platforms are there? Electronic trading platforms(ETP) allow customers to organize electronic procurement procedures, and potential suppliers to participate in them, competing for the right to supply products to a given customer.

Another area of activity is providing auction organizers with the opportunity to sell the property being sold electronically - in this case, potential buyers are already competing for the right to purchase the property being sold. The procedures carried out at each ETP are described in detail in their operating regulations, and these regulations are usually posted in the public domain on the websites of electronic trading platforms. Neither the regulations nor the rules for conducting site procedures can contradict the law.

ETP is a necessary tool for conducting procurement in electronic form. This is a software and hardware complex that for the user looks like an Internet site, after registration on which authorized employees of a legal entity can, on behalf of this legal entity, announce purchases as a customer or participate in them as suppliers. Within the framework of current legislation, the platform provides users with a “line” of procurement methods, the algorithms of which are regulated by the regulations of this electronic platform and its internal rules.

The electronic platform is a procurement tool, and the platform operator is obliged to ensure the proper operation of this tool. At the same time, the operator of the electronic platform does not have the powers of a government body, nor the powers of an arbitrator, and therefore cannot and does not have the right to officially assess the legality of the actions of customers and suppliers, much less apply authority measures to them. When conducting a procurement in electronic form, as with any procurement, the powers to suppress illegal actions of the customer or supplier rest exclusively with state regulatory authorities and the court.

Each procurement involves three parties - the procurement organizer, procurement participants and the operator of the electronic platform. In this case, potential suppliers are procurement participants, the customer is the procurement organizer, and the person ensuring the functioning of the electronic trading platform is the operator of the electronic trading platform.

How to choose an ETP? An electronic trading platform is an easy, convenient way to access the purchasing procedures of large, promising customers. The advantages of ETP are obvious: procurement is open, public, transparent, there is objectivity in choosing the winner. It is also important that suppliers’ offers are anonymous for the customer.

If you want to become a supplier to government organizations, you need to choose one of the officially accredited platforms for government procurement:

ETP of the Agency for State Order of the Republic of Tatarstan (Zakaz RF)

All information on state tenders can be found on the website zakupki.gov.ru.

Private companies and companies with state participation, operating under 223-FZ, purchase either through their own (“captive”) sites (Aeroflot, Rosneft, Russian Railways, etc.), or through independent commercial electronic trading platforms (B2B-Center, Fabrikant ", ETP "Gazprombank", etc.).

To work at the ETP, you must be accredited. Depending on the ETP, registration may be paid or free.

For those wishing to take part in government orders, accreditation is free, but it is necessary to provide a number of documents, a list of which is indicated on the website of each operator. Also a necessary condition is the presence of an electronic digital signature that is valid on the selected trading platform.

After receiving the signature, you must provide the documents specified by the operator, certify them with digital signature and submit an application for accreditation in the correct format.

Pros and cons of different types of sites

Commercial ETP:

pros. Ease of use, smart selection of tenders for each supplier, additional services, including financial ones. For example, B2B-Center provides clients with a range of financial services: bank guarantee, security deposit, loans. There are non-financial services, such as consulting on procurement activities, legal support of tenders. Minuses. Availability of subscription fee. Purchases are only commercial and under 223-FZ (no government purchases under 44-FZ).

"Captive" ETP:

pros. Free for the supplier. Minuses. They are organized for one buyer, the activities of the site are not transparent for the supplier, you need to get used to the algorithms of work on each individual ETP. The simultaneous use of several ETPs is a scattering of the supplier's efforts.

State ETP:

pros: Many suppliers, uniform rules of procurement procedures (44-FZ)

Minuses: Minimum ease of use and services, hidden fees in the form of reserving funds from suppliers.

Modern Internet technologies allow a person not only to quickly and without intermediaries obtain the necessary information or information, but also to sell or, conversely, purchase products, household appliances, cosmetics, perfumes or toys without leaving home. This can be done in official online stores, ordering home delivery or picking up your purchase at a pick-up point; but the disadvantage of this method is the fixed price for each category, which the client cannot change.

However, there are also free online trading platforms for individuals, through which any user registered in the system can, or, conversely, purchase a brand new vehicle at a reasonable price. We will talk about the twelve most popular open online stores in Russia.

Amazon

The most famous trading platform, which was first an online bookstore, was created in the United States of America in 1994. Thanks to the reasonable approach of the developers, who initially did not set the goal of making Amazon a highly specialized site or limiting its operation to North America, the site literally turned into a universal online store in just two years. Now it presents about forty categories of goods for every taste and budget; According to official statistics, more than 18 million people visit Amazon every day.

Important: Amazon, like the other marketplaces listed below, is open not only to large copyright holders and manufacturers, but also to individuals. Simply put, any registered person can list their product here and find a buyer.

The mission of the site is exclusively the exchange of material assets for money. It will not be possible to find a part-time job on Amazon or a part-time job during the holidays - only if the applicant does not intend to sell anything himself.

Particular attention should be paid to the initial registration in the online store. The procedure is completely free, however, the requirements for the new seller are slightly exaggerated - in particular, you are required to indicate your legal address, and not your place of temporary or permanent registration.

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:
