New Regulation for State IT Systems: Discussion of CMU Resolution No. 205

The IT industry is one of the key drivers of digital transformation. Ukrainian tech companies are known globally for their high-quality products and services. At the same time, the public sector of digital services is still being formed, and its effectiveness depends on clear rules of the game. 

An important step in this direction was the adoption of CMU Resolution No. 205, ‘Some Issues of Creation, Administration and Operation of Informatization Facilities’ of 21 February 2025, which is intended to regulate the GovTech sector and facilitate Ukraine’s integration into the EU’s digital single market.

The Resolution aims to improve the efficiency, security and innovation of state information systems. It establishes uniform requirements for their creation, modernisation and administration and defines the procedure for localisation of software products within the National Informatisation Programme. The BRDO team contributed to the development of the draft resolution as part of the EU4DigitalUA project, funded by the European Union and implemented by FIAP.

On 20 March 2025, BRDO experts joined a discussion on the impact of new legislative rules on the digitalisation of government processes. The meeting was organised by the Digital Competence Centre (DCC) of the Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine, GovTech Alliance of Ukraine and the Academy of Electronic Governance with the support of the Kyiv Global Government Technology Centre.

The discussion participants outlined the key challenges for GovTech companies in developing digital solutions for the state and agreed to work together to develop solutions to address them. In particular, this concerns amendments to Resolution 205 and the Law ‘On the National Informatisation Programme’, as well as the creation of templates for technical and legal documentation for the transfer of software to the public sector. These steps will help to regulate the GovTech sector and promote the development of digital public services in Ukraine.

The GovTech Alliance of Ukraine (GTA UA) is a professional association of Ukrainian IT companies that develop and implement technology solutions for the public sector. The Alliance has already united 5 leading companies to develop Ukraine’s GovTech ecosystem, strengthen cooperation between the state and business, and promote the export of Ukrainian solutions abroad. GTA UA members include AMEDIA, Kitsoft, MK-consulting, Prozori Solutions and Strimco. The Better Regulation Delivery Office (BRDO) is a strategic partner of the Alliance.
