Abstract
The article is devoted to a comprehensive study of the historical development of the public
procurement system in Russia, starting from the 17th century and leading up to modern legislative standards.
Key milestones in the formation of foundational principles of public procurement are examined, beginning with
Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich’s decree on food supply and the early examples of competitive approaches under
Peter I, through the reforms of the 18th and 19th centuries and the planned economy of the Soviet period, to
recent legislative changes represented by laws № 44-FZ and 223-FZ. Special attention is paid to the principles
of competition, transparency, anti-corruption measures, and the protection of state interests established
throughout history.
The article analyzes the development of risk management mechanisms in public procurement, the evolution
of contractor selection methods, and the introduction of digital and electronic forms of trading aimed at
reducing corruption and budget risks. The analysis suggests that the modern contract system requires further
improvement, proposing enhanced control mechanisms and innovative approaches for more efficient operation
and risk minimization in procurement processes, which is especially relevant in light of contemporary
challenges and the need to protect national interests.
