The Gazprom Board of Directors tasked the Company's Management Committee to introduce the procedure for early publication on the official website www.gazprom.ru of the information relevant to the planned purchases for the needs of Gazprom and to the contracts signed.

The website will contain a list of items to be purchased by the Company on a tender basis throughout a year with the presumable procurement timeframe and method, terms of goods delivery, work performance and service rendering as well as requirements for the participants – in case of certain types of purchases.

Publication of the information about the planned tenders will allow Gazprom to expand a list of potential participants and the participants will be able to initiate preparation of the required documents in advance.
