For that purpose, the author reveals the importance of the problem of effectiveness of procurement procedures for the Russian system of public procurement. With the help of methods of scientific cognition, first of all, the dialectical method, the system of public procurement in interrelation and development was considered. The paper also uses the specific methods of scientific knowledge, including: system and structural, formal and logical, as well as special and legal methods of normative interpretation and comparative law. Results: it is pointed out that there are a number of public procurement objectives that can be identified and that pursue some or even most public procurement systems.
