Electronic procurement under the Law N 223-FL can be not carried out on electronic platform

The law N 223-FL does not require to conduct procurement electronically on electronic platform. The Ministry of Economic Development specifies that the customer himself solves, whether to spend them thus.

I expressed similar opinion before FAS: electronically the customer establishes a purchase order in regulations on purchase independently.

It is possible to draw a conclusion: as there is no normative definition of electronic procurement, customers can carry out it by an exchange of electronic documents, without using electronic platform.

Now the State Duma considers the project (http://asozd2.duma.gov.ru/main.nsf/%28SpravkaNew%29?OpenAgent&RN=821534-6&02) about modification of the Law N 223-FL. It is offered to consider electronic purchase which the operator of an electronic trading platform provides on the website on the Internet.
