FAS: joint purchases can be carried out even by state customers not from neighboring districts of the region
The Office also points out that the common goal for customers is not enough to conduct joint purchases. The main condition for them is the purchase of the same goods, works, services.
Under the same goods, works, services should be understood goods that have uniform generic features or make up a kit. This definition is contained in the review of the Supreme Court.
FAS reminded that it is impossible to include goods, works, services, technologically and functionally unrelated to one procurement object. For example, the supply of dairy and meat products.
Clarifications of the state body concern purchases of food products. However, we believe that the role of procurement does not play a role.
