The procedure for concluding a contract with the "second" participant in case of termination of the contract with the winner of the competitive procurement has been clarified

3 May 2023, Wednesday

In accordance with the new version of Part 17.1 of Article 95 of Law No. 44, if the customer unilaterally refuses to execute the contract, the contract with the "second" participant can still be concluded, even if the information about the counterparty is not included in the Register of Unscrupulous suppliers. This will be possible if the antimonopoly authority decides not to include the counterparty in the Register of Unscrupulous Suppliers due to the fact that the proper execution of the contract was impossible due to force majeure circumstances.

These changes will come into force on May 9, 2023.
