The article examines the features and directions of procurement outsourcing digitalization in the Russian Federation amid the transformation of economic and institutional factors. The theoretical foundations of procurement outsourcing, key digital technologies, and the specifics of their implementation in Russian practice are considered. The effects of digital transformation are analyzed, including increased transparency, manageability, and efficiency of procurement processes, as well as identified limitations related to organizational digital maturity, the regulatory environment, and human capital factors. Based on the analysis of corporate case studies, the prospects for the development of digital procurement outsourcing are determined, including ecosystem formation, artificial intelligence adoption, process automation, and the integration of ESG principles into the strategic management of procurement activities in the long-term perspective of Russia’s digital economy and corporate sector development.
