Purchases of medicines and medical products may be excluded from the calculation of the annual volume of purchases among SMEs and SONOS
A bill has been submitted to the State Duma for consideration, which proposes to supplement Part 1.1 of Article 30 of Federal Law No. 44-FZ dated April 5, 2013 "On the contract system in the procurement of goods, works, services for state and municipal needs" with a new paragraph 4.1, according to which, based on the calculation of the total annual volume of purchases when determining the volume purchases carried out among SMEs, SONOS, exclude purchases of medicines for medical use and medical devices (Draft Federal Law No. 84920-8).
It is assumed that these changes will come into force from the date of the official publication of the relevant federal law.
Recall that according to Part 1 of Article 30 of Law No. 44-FZ, customers are required to make purchases in the amount of at least 25% of the total annual volume of purchases, calculated taking into account Part 1.1 of Article 30 of Law No. 44-FZ, with the provision of advantages of SONO and SMP.
