They plan to change the payment procedure for state contracts, the rules for establishing their provision and calculating the NMCC
Among other things, they proposed speeding up payment for contracts, temporarily not applying the requirement to ensure their execution, prohibiting the use of foreign currency in the calculation of NMCC, clarifying procedural deadlines. The draft was adopted in the third reading on April 6. Read more in the review.
Payment of contracts
They want to adjust the settlement period for all contracts (clauses "b" of clause 6 of Article 2 of the draft on p. 16, clauses "b" of clause 8 of Article 2 of the draft on p. 16-18). It will be:
no more than 15 working days if the purchase was announced from January 1 to April 30, 2022 inclusive;
no more than 7 working days if it was announced from May 1, 2022;
For some cases, other deadlines have been provided. So, the deadline will be no more than 10 working days if the acceptance is issued without an EIS.
The deadline is still counted from the date when the customer signed the acceptance document.
Contract enforcement
It is planned to allow customers until the end of the year, in most cases, not to establish a requirement to ensure the performance of the contract, warranty obligations (subclause "d" of clause 23 of Article 2 of the draft on page 27).
NMCC
When determining and justifying the NMCC, they plan to introduce a ban on the use of foreign currency. Such a ban will not affect customers who operate on the territory of a foreign state (clause "b" of clause 3 of Article 2 of the draft on page 14).
Procedural deadlines
In particular, they offered to clarify:
the deadline for sending the draft contract to the winner of the electronic request for quotations. The customer will do this no later than one working day, which follows the day of posting the final protocol in the EIS (paragraph 16 of Article 2 of the draft on page 21);
the deadline for sending an application for the inclusion of information in the RNP in connection with the unilateral refusal of the customer to fulfill the contract. The customer will do this no later than two working days following the date of entry into force of the customer's decision on unilateral refusal (clause "a" of clause 19 of Article 2 of the draft on page 22).
