At the same time, cooperation processes are organized on the basis of the Single Portal of Electronic Cooperation of the Republic, in the sections on procurement, localization and cooperation relations, on the official website of the society, as well as other procurement portals.

As a result, in January-March 2022, through the electronic cooperation portal, Uzbekneftegaz JSC signed 472 contracts totalling 206.8 billion soums, covering about 100 domestic producers in all regions of the republic, the Republic of Karakalpakstan and the city of Tashkent.
