Abstract. The article is devoted to the study of the effectiveness of the Prozorro electronic public procurement system in the process of fighting corruption in our country. The value of transparency and openness in the process of purchasing transactions with state funds is substantiated. The importance and relevance of the development and operation of this platform for the economy of Ukraine and for the prevention and reduction of the number of corruption offenses are outlined. The article analyzes the specifics of the development history and the legal basis of the Prozorro electronic system. The evaluation of this public procurement service by international institutions, in particular the World Bank and representatives of the US authorities, was analyzed.

The main advantages of the functioning of the Prozorro platform in modern Ukrainian society are highlighted, in particular, the creation of a high-quality competitive environment, the reduction of the level of corruption, the improvement of procurement efficiency, the saving of public funds and time, ease of use, openness, the ability to access the system from anywhere in Ukraine and without unnecessary paper bureaucracy. The profitability statistics of tenders conducted through the studied electronic service were analyzed. The article substantiates the relevance of creating the Prozorro+ platform in the realities of martial law, which helps in receiving and providing humanitarian aid.

The importance of the integration of the Prozorro system and the National Agency for the Prevention of Corruption was outlined, as a result of which the Unified State Register of persons who committed corruption or corruption-related offenses was created. The importance of connecting to the search and analytical system "007" was analyzed, which helps to search and track data from open sources about the use of budget funds by the state for this or that tender. Ways to improve the functioning of the Prozorro electronic system as a tool for preventing corruption offenses have been determined.
