Результаты и обсуждение. Исследование вопросов подготовки специалиста в сфере государственных закупок представляется актуальным и востребованным. Сфера государственных закупок товаров, работ или услуг – обособленная область профессиональной деятельности по обеспечению нужд государственных и муниципальных учреждений, организаций, министерств и ведомств, а также нужд госкомпаний на основе и с соблюдением установленных процедур. В соответствии с законодательством РФ специалисты несут персональную ответственность за качество выполняемых ими должностных обязанностей и соблюдение установленных требований.

Специалист в сфере государственных закупок обязан обладать предметно-ориентированными знаниями в сфере экономики и юриспруденции, а также навыками организации и ведения переговоров, подготовки и размещения заявок, и прежде всего с использованием электронных ресурсов. Подготовка квалифицированного в сфере государственных закупок специалиста требует разработки профильной образовательной программы обучения и создания необходимого качества образовательной среды: современная материально-техническая база, новейшее учебно-методическое обеспечение, профессиональный кадровый состав преподавательских работников. Подготовка по профилю «Специалист в сфере государственных закупок» наиболее обоснована в системе высшего образования, уровень подготовки – магистратура, что соответствует седьмому и восьмому квалификационным уровням подготовки. Подготовку целесообразно осуществляться в рамках двух направлений: «Государственное и муниципальное управление» и «Профессиональное обучение (по отраслям)». Важность подготовки в рамках направления «Профессиональное обучение (по отраслям)» связана с необходимостью формирования профессиональных педагогических кадров, спрос на которые, как показал анализ запросов, как некоммерческих, так и коммерческих организаций, возрастает.
