The Odesa Regional State Administration informs about the introduction of a new field in the Prozorro system, allowing buyers to justify the necessity of their purchases. This feature enables them to explain the need for a purchase in advance.

This will also assist the monitoring group preparing materials for the meetings of the 'Transparency and Accountability' working group to consider the buyers' arguments, and help the public understand the benefits of specific purchases.

This initiative will improve communication between buyers and society during wartime.

'Buyers now have a tool that allows them to explain the importance of their purchases to the public in advance. They may have justified needs, but they often must respond to criticism after the fact,' emphasized Mykola Tkachenko, the director of DP 'Prozorro.'
