Important clarification from the Russian Ministry of Finance: the price of the contract in auctions "for the right to conclude"
The Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation has published clarifications regarding the determination of the contract price in the framework of electronic procedures conducted for the right to conclude a contract.
The key conclusion is that
if during such auctions the price is reduced to 0.5% of the initial maximum contract price (NMCC) or even lower, it is this price offered by the winner that is the final contract price. It is not considered conditional or technical.
What does this mean for the procurement participants?
The price fixed at the end of the auction is final. No subsequent recalculation to the NMCC or other value is performed.
All financial conditions are calculated from this price.: enforcement of the contract, the amount of penalties (fines, penalties) and other payments.
The procedure becomes more transparent and predictable. All financial obligations of the parties from the moment of conclusion of the contract are based on the price formed as a result of bidding.
