What are advantages of ProZorro
13
• Law initial cost
• Law implementation and
maintenance cost
• Better services, incl. training &
legal support, due to
competition among platform
providers
• Higher suppliers competition due to
involvement of existing pools of
suppliers registered on commercial
platforms
• Higher resistance to corruption due
to distribution of risk among various
actors
• Additional statistical & risk-
management tools
• Application of Open Contracting
Data Standard
• Alignment with international
legislation standards
