Public customer can simultaneously provide benefits to organizations of disabled people and small businesses
This opinion was expressed by the Ministry of Finance. If the customer purchases goods from the list that presumes benefits for organizations of disabled people, he has the right to establish advantages alongside with them for SMPs and SONKOs, the state agency believes.
We believe that these actions can limit competition and it is better not to admit them. In such a procurement, not all organizations of disabled people, to whom customers should give benefits, can take part. Among them there are all-Russian public organizations of disabled people, as well as commercial organizations created by them that meet a number of conditions. The first are SONCO. The latter can be SMPs only if they meet certain requirements.
