Easing in public procurement: the draft optimization amendments were submitted to the State Duma
They suggested not to apply methodological recommendations when determining the initial maximum contract price. They may be allowed to conclude a contract with a second participant if the customer refused the contract, but the winner was not included in the Register of Unscrupulous Suppliers due to force majeure. They want to increase the price threshold for a number of electronic procedures. Read more in the review.
Earlier, at a meeting of the Federation Council, they discussed, among other things, a moratorium on the application of certain provisions of Law No. 44 (p. 152-155 of the transcript of the meeting). There are no such provisions in the current version of the draft.
Justification of the initial maximum contract price. The customers were asked not to take into account methodological recommendations when determining the initial maximum contract price. They want to exclude the current requirements of Law No. 44 (paragraph 1 of Article 1 of the draft).
Termination of the contract. They plan to allow signing a contract with the second participant if the customer refused the contract, and the winner was not included in the Register of Unscrupulous suppliers, because he did not fulfill his obligations due to force majeure (clause 5 of Article 1 of the draft).
Electronic procedures. An electronic request for quotations will be able to be carried out at the initial maximum contract price of no more than 10 million rubles. Now its limit is 3 million rubles. The restriction on the annual volume was proposed to be removed (paragraph 2 of Article 1 of the draft).
The price threshold for the "electronic store" is planned to be increased from 3 million to 5 million rubles. Such purchases will not be taken into account in the annual volume of small purchases, including in the field of culture and medicine, but will be limited to the amount of 100 million rubles per year (paragraphs "a" and "b" of paragraph 4 of Article 1 of the draft).
Turnkey construction procurement. The opportunity to conduct a turnkey purchase was offered to be retained until January 1, 2025. Also, customers will be able to set different advance amounts for individual stages of complex contracts, for example, not to pay it at the stage of design and survey work (clauses "a" and "b" of clause 7 of Article 1 of the project).
Medical procurement. For medical devices and medical nutrition, they want to allow specifying functional, technical and qualitative characteristics without an equivalent in the description of the object of purchase. Customers will apply the innovation if, according to the decision of the medical commission, the patient has medical indications, for example, individual intolerance (clause 3 of Article 1 of the draft).
Approval of the transaction with a single supplier. The term of consideration of the application can be reduced to 8 working days. Now the supervisors are responsible within 10 working days from the date following the day of receipt of the appeal (clause "b" of clause 4 of Article 1 of the draft).
