Law ZRU-472 modernised the Uzbek procurement regime aligning with international best practice including the UNCITRAL Model Law on Public Procurement and World Bank procurement principles. The Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Uzbekistan through the Department of Public Procurement is the central regulatory authority responsible for procurement regulation, oversight, and procurement guidance. The Xarid web-portal (xarid.uzex.uz) operated by the Uzbek Republican Currency Exchange (UZEX) is the mandatory federal e-procurement platform for in-scope procurement. The Anti-Monopoly Committee has supplier debarment authority for anti-competitive procurement misconduct. Procurement methods established by Law ZRU-472 art. 32 to 53 comprise (a) Tender (Public Tender, the default open public procedure for high-value acquisitions above prescribed thresholds), (b) Konkurs (Competition for consulting services), (c) Aukcion (Electronic Reverse Auction, for standardised goods), (d) Iz Edinogo Postavshchika (Single Source / sole-source under prescribed exceptions in art. 49 including emergency, sole supplier for technical reasons, prior failed tendering, prescribed-class exemptions, and small-value below thresholds), (e) Zaprashivanie Tsenovykh Predlozheniy (Request for Quotations, for medium-value), (f) Selektivnyy Otbor (Selective Selection, with prequalification), and (g) Sistema Elektronnogo Magazina (Electronic Shop System, for catalogued small-value items). The Chamber of Accounts of the Republic of Uzbekistan conducts ex-post procurement audit. Uzbekistan is NOT a party to the WTO Government Procurement Agreement (GPA) but is in WTO accession process.
