The Ukrainian Sea Ports Authority has launched a new system for risk management and procurement monitoring.

This was announced on the official website of the authority.

"The new system enables automated analysis of tender procedures using risk indicators and control parameters, allowing potential violations to be detected at early stages, before contracts are signed," the statement reads.

"This internal procurement oversight is another step towards preventing corruption risks and increasing the transparency of public spending," emphasizes the USPA.

"The risk management system in procurement provides the ability to identify weak points before they escalate into problems," adds the maritime authority.

The system was developed in collaboration with the European Union Anti-Corruption Initiative (EUACI). It is reported that EUACI is a leading anti-corruption program in Ukraine, funded by the European Union and implemented by the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The USPA also notes that all procurements are conducted through the electronic system Prozorro in accordance with current legislation, and the launch of the risk management system will provide an additional layer of control and monitoring.
