Over three years, the average payment period for government contracts in Moscow has decreased by more than 40 percent and now amounts to four working days. This increases the efficiency of procurement and contributes to the growth of the attractiveness of government orders for Moscow businesses. This was reported by Maria Bagreeva, Deputy Mayor of Moscow, Head of the Moscow Department of Economic Policy and Development.

“The payment deadline for government contracts established by federal law is seven working days since 2022. In Moscow, by the end of 2024, it was reduced to an average of four working days. This was achieved thanks to the efficient operation of the contract system and the high level of digitalization of processes. Now entrepreneurs receive funds for delivered goods and performed work and services faster, which contributes to even greater involvement of businesses in government procurement and an increase in the volume of contracts concluded. Thus, in the first quarter of 2025, the city signed contracts with capital suppliers under 44-FZ for 345.3 billion rubles, which is more than 60 percent higher than the figure for the first quarter of 2022,” said Maria Bagreeva.

The Moscow City Department for Competition Policy is conducting comprehensive work to attract entrepreneurs to the public procurement system. Reducing payment terms for contracts is just one of the tools for solving this problem.

“The introduction of convenient electronic services and standard documentation contributes to the reduction of the main stages of the procurement cycle. In turn, the acceleration of processes increases the level of involvement of entrepreneurs in working with government procurement. Today, there are 24 suppliers per customer in the capital’s contract system, which ensures a high level of competition and enables state and municipal institutions to promptly receive high-quality goods, works and services,” noted the head of the Moscow City Department for Competition Policy Kirill Purtov.

Moscow’s contract system consistently demonstrates high efficiency. Capital is in the lead in the National Procurement Transparency Rating. Thanks to the standardization of procedures, the introduction of digital technologies and the involvement of small businesses, Moscow state procurement ensures savings at all stages of the process.
