The customer copied into the documentation the provisions of the Law N 44-FZ on cases when it is allowed to change the essential terms of the contract. Among them were provisions that did not apply to this purchase. For example, that the contract can be changed by adjusting the regulated prices, although the price of the disputed purchase was not regulated.
The courts supported the inspectors: by including untrue conditions, the customer misleads the bidders.
