Abstract

Among the most highly sought measures of public support of businesses are various preferences to small-scale businesses as part of the public procurement of goods and services. In light of the new coronavirus pandemic there is an active discussion of the measures related to supporting the small- and medium-scale business entities with the use of the public procurement institution. However, taking such measures may presuppose significant inherent risks, including those related to potential or real limitation of competition. In their work the authors analyze the global experience of preferential programs for small- and medium-scale business entities through public procurement, as well as specific features peculiar to the Russian legal order which may be of importance during introduction of the said measures.
