The Russian Government has approved an action plan for the implementation of the Concept of Improving Procurement to meet state and Municipal needs of small volume for the period up to 2027. The decree approving the documents was signed by the Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Mikhail Mishustin.
This concept was approved by the government in June 2024. It concerns the procurement, the amount of which does not exceed 600 thousand rubles, the Cabinet recalled.
"The activities of the first roadmap cover the implementation of the concept as a whole. The second roadmap is devoted to the creation and maintenance of a catalog containing a description of specific goods, the purchase of which is carried out for state and municipal needs in a simplified manner," the message says.
The government noted that the roadmaps included the unification of the procedure for conducting small purchases in electronic form, the creation and maintenance of a single catalog of goods, the establishment of uniform requirements for the functioning of information systems used for small purchases.
According to the first action plan, the preparation of a unified small purchase model should be completed by October 2024. The Ministry of Finance, the Federal Antimonopoly Service and the Federal Treasury will provide a report to the government on this topic. By the same date, agreed proposals on the requirements for information systems used for procurement should be submitted.
In accordance with the second roadmap, a single catalog of specific products should appear in April 2025. "With its help, it will be easier for customers to navigate, and they will be able to choose the best price offer," the Cabinet of Ministers explained.
