The study of the role of tender systems in the activities of agricultural enterprises intersects two key areas of interest: economics and agriculture. This important research helps understand how agricultural enterprises conduct procurement, which is a vital aspect of their operations. Understanding the processes of tender procurement will shed light on the factors influencing supplier selection, cost optimization, and how to improve the competitiveness of agricultural enterprises. From a practical perspective, such research provides an opportunity to enhance procurement management processes in the agricultural sector. It can contribute to the development of effective strategies and tools aimed at ensuring the quality of products and services at optimal prices. Additionally, studying tender systems allows for identifying challenges in the procurement process and seeking ways to address them.
Research Objective: The aim of the study is to analyze the impact of software tools for conducting tender procurements on the activities of agricultural enterprises.
Research Methods: The research is based on a comprehensive approach, utilizing both quantitative and qualitative analysis methods, including statistical analysis and systems analysis methods to analyze the interrelationships between different types of tender systems.
Results: The results of the study on the role of tender systems in the activities of agricultural enterprises indicate their significance and wide-ranging impact on business. Various types of procurement, including the procurement of raw materials, equipment, services, and other resources used in agriculture, have been thoroughly examined. It has been found that the diversity of tender procedures enables agricultural enterprises to effectively select suppliers and optimize procurement costs.
Additionally, the study examines a software model aimed at automating the processes of managing tender procurements for agricultural enterprises. This software tool assists enterprises in effectively managing all stages of tender procedures, including planning, document preparation, proposal evaluation, contract management, and reporting.
The mentioned software model takes into account the specificity of agriculture and the needs of agricultural enterprises, providing them with an effective tool for managing tender procedures. This allows enterprises to make the procurement process more transparent, efficient, and compliant with modern management standards. Such an approach contributes to enhancing the competitiveness of agricultural enterprises and their stable development in the contemporary market environment.
