This article explores the recent reforms in Uzbekistan’s public procurement system, emphasizing the integrationof environmental criteria and the promotion of domestic producers. The study is based on the analysis of ofcial
documents, data from the Ekoplatforma portal, and international literature on sustainable procurement. Results show
that public procurement has achieved higher efciency, with average savings of 12.6 percent of initial contract values,
while gradually moving toward environmentally sustainable practices. The discussion highlights the importance of green
procurement in stimulating innovation, reducing import dependency, and ensuring ecological balance. Comparative insights
from the European Union and South Korea are presented as international benchmarks, while Uzbekistan’s experience
demonstrates increasing convergence with global trends. The research concludes that the public procurement system
in Uzbekistan is evolving into a dual-purpose mechanism, ensuring economic efciency while supporting environmental
sustainability and the objectives of the “Uzbekistan–2030” strategy.
