ABSTRACT
Institutional modernization of the system of the Russian government and consistent goal-oriented municipal procurement have increased its transparency in recent years. The measures taken provided creation of the most transparent information system in the world presented by the All-Russian website of government procurements by using a systems approach (www.zakupki.gov.ru). However, it demands quantitative verification through an assessment of the influence of transparency on purchase efficiency. Processing of the survey results of people who are studying at the pilot center of government procurements of the Southern Federal University, with use of the SPSS program, revealed a strong dependence between efficiency of electronic auctions and receiving information on results of the held auction (i.e., transparency) by all interested persons, and also other dependences.
