This article investigates the scope of public procurement in Brazil and Russia, its basis, developments, and limits and the role of governing officials in light of this kind of competition. By examining the governing legislation and the practical experience of the countries, we identify the successes and problems with public tenders, which directly contribute to the success or failure of a contract. The E-marketplace is analyzed as a formula that brings speed and efficiency to acquisitions, which has long been implemented in several countries. Briefly, we examine the procedures of the countries involved by comparing their systems. Based on the Russian experience, there is a possibility of seeking an evolution for public contracts carried out in Brazil, especially through the insertion of digital platforms for the acquisition of common goods and services.
