A participant in the purchase of cleaning services for premises and territories complained that the customer did not establish additional requirements. Since January 1, these services are included in the list of cases when such requirements are needed.
The inspectors did not find any violations:

The winner did not sign the contract on time and did not provide its security. The customer recognized him as evading.
The controllers did not include the information in the RNP, because the winner:
did not fulfill his obligations on time, since the authorized person was on a business trip. In the supporting documents there are dates that fell during the signing of the contract;
signed a contract and provided collateral as soon as the opportunity arose;

The customer purchased products, including bananas, oranges. The winner of the purchase offered foreign products, and one of the participants — Russian.
The contract was concluded at a price 15% lower than the one offered. There is such a rule in the conditions of admission of foreign goods.
The winner complained to the Federal Antimonopoly Service that it is illegal to apply a reduction coefficient:
the object of purchase includes, among other things, fruits that do not grow in the EAEU countries. This means that the information about the country of the other participant's goods is incorrect. The customer should have made sure of this, for example, to request information from authorized organizations;
it is impossible to reduce the price, because everyone offered foreign goods.

The customer in the draft contract established the amount of penalties above their value according to Law No. 44-FZ. The controllers recognized this as a violation.
The first and appellate instances supported the customer. In support of their position, they referred, among other things, to the review of judicial practice, which they approved before the amendment of Part 7 of Article 34 of Law No. 44-FZ: until May 12, 2019, the lower limit of liability in the form of penalties was normal.
In the review, the Judicial Board of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation, with reference to the norm of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation on the possibility of increasing the amount of the penalty, decided that penalties higher than under Law No. 44-FZ are permissible. The amendment of Part 7 of Article 34 of Law No. 44-FZ does not affect this possibility.
