The Treasury named the most frequent mistakes in public procurement in the second half of 2020

24 June 2021, Thursday

The Treasury has released a review of violations in the financial and budgetary sphere for the second half of 2020. Among them are errors in public procurement. The customers made a significant part of them when calculating the NMCC and executing the contract. Let's focus on the main mistakes.
Violations in the calculation of the NMCC
Most of the errors are related to the use of incorrect price information. So, when calculating the NMCC, it is not necessary to use:
offers, contracts and information with the characteristics of the goods (work, services) and (or) delivery conditions that are not the same as in the purchase;
offers with delivery terms that are not comparable to the planned purchase (for example, in terms of the deadlines for fulfilling obligations or the list of works).
Violations in the performance of the contract
Among the shortcomings in the execution of the contract, the following can be distinguished: they
unreasonably changed the terms of the contract (for example, they established an advance payment);
did not hold the supplier liable for violation of the terms of the contract (for example, for late delivery of goods);
they calculated the penalty incorrectly: they made an arithmetic error or an error in calculating the number of days of delay.
In addition, the agency drew attention to violations in the execution of the contract: they
accepted and paid for goods that are not in the contract;
accepted and paid for the outstanding work;
accepted goods that do not comply with the terms of the contract (for example, a different remaining shelf life, a different country of origin);
the acceptance period was violated (for example, in the contract it was 3 working days from the delivery date, but the customer signed the acceptance document only 15 working days after delivery).
