Any organizations, individual entrepreneurs and individuals can participate in tenders and conclude transactions on the sites of trading platforms.

Types and types of electronic trading platforms

• Official (federal), they are also called B2G (business-to-government). Here are tenders from customers - budget organizations.

• Electronic commercial sites - B2B (business-to-business). Here, customers are business organizations. They differ depending on who organizes and supports them: buyers or, conversely, suppliers, or website owners are their intermediaries. This type of site is more common than the first two.

• The sites where individuals buy and sell are C2C (consumer-to-consumer).

• On B2C (business-to-consumer) electronic platforms, a company, a legal entity, trades mainly with private individuals.

• Specialized, for example, a platform for the sale of property of debtors (bankrupts) or operating within a specific sector of the economy.

Legal entities, operators of electronic trading floors can be participants in the existing unified system in the field of public procurement, if they possess the necessary equipment and facilities that allow them to conduct tenders. They receive the appropriate authority, fulfill all the necessary requirements, and then officially interact with the state website for public procurement.
