In the table of fines under 44-FZ below, you can determine exactly what liability is provided for violating a specific provision of the Federal Law.

current legislation in the field of public procurement, it is envisaged whole line procedures for competitive selection of suppliers. However, in certain cases, the use of non-competitive methods is also allowed.

The conclusion of an agreement (or contract) between the customer and the contractor carries the goal of thoroughly working out the conditions on which both parties will interact in the future. He, ideally, should provide for all conceivable scenarios for the development of events, up to the possibility of breaking this very agreement. Federal Law No. 44 of the Russian Federation "On the contract system in the field of procurement of goods, works, services to ensure public and municipal needs» provides for three ways to terminate the contract.

According to the procedure prescribed by law electronic auction, to participate in it, the supplier sends the customer an application consisting of two parts. The first part of the application contains the supplier's consent to fulfill the terms of the state contract in accordance with the notice and auction documentation, as well as a description of the goods, works, services. In the process of consideration of the first parts of applications, a list of participants admitted to participate in the auction is formed. After the end of the auction, the customer considers the second parts of the bids.

In accordance with Law No. 44-FZ, the supplier confirms its participation in electronic auction to conclude a government contract by sending an application to the customer. Application for participation in the auction is submitted in in electronic format and contains two parts, which are simultaneously sent to the operator of the electronic electronic trading platform.

Law No. 44-FZ establishes several different ways to competitively determine suppliers. One of the ways to search for contractors under government contracts under this law is a request for quotations.

An electronic auction is undoubtedly the most popular competitive procedure among those carried out within the framework of the Federal Law of April 05, 2013 No. 44-FZ “On the contract system in the field of procurement of goods, works, services to meet state and municipal needs”. Her distinctive feature is the versatility that allows you to apply this method in almost any situation.

What is contract enforcement? Enforcement of the contract is one of the essential elements cooperation between the customer and the supplier within the framework of the contract system regulated by the provisions of the Federal Law No. 44-FZ. This is a kind of pledge or some kind of guarantee that the supplier will fulfill his part of the conditions in good faith, on time and in full.

One of the mechanisms that prevent unfair participation of suppliers in tenders and auctions for the supply of goods, performance of work and provision of services in accordance with the requirements of the law on the contract system No. 44-FZ is the provision of application security.

Major changes in the open competition.

The phrase that the customer conducts an open tender in all cases, except for exceptions, was removed from Article 48 of Law No. 44-FZ.

Competitive application:

  1. In the application, all participants indicate the postal address, and not just the legal entity, as it was before.
  2. In the application, the participant submits documents that are provided for by regulatory legal acts according to the assigned regime. If the participant does not submit documents, the application is equated to an offer with foreign goods, works or services of foreign persons.

protocols.

Removed the requirement that the protocol for the consideration and evaluation of applications single application the customer is obliged to attach the proposal of the participant on the object of procurement, the unit price, the name of the country of origin of the goods.

Main changes in the electronic auction

From July 1, 2018, the norms of Law No. 44-FZ, which regulate the document flow and the procedure for concluding a contract during an electronic auction, become invalid. This is due to the fact that now an article on electronic procurement has appeared in the law (Articles 24.1, 60 and 70 of Law No. 44-FZ).

Auction bid.

Changed the procedure for submitting an application for an auction.
In the first part of the application, the participant agrees to supply goods, perform work, provide services on the terms of the documentation. They added that consent is submitted through an electronic platform. In the event that you purchase goods or works and services for which the participant uses the goods. Then in the first part the participant prescribes:
  • the country of origin of the goods, only if the customer has established a national regime;
  • specific product indicators and trademark, if any. Information is included in the application if there is no trademark in the documentation or if the participant offers a product with a trademark different from the trademark in the documentation.
In the second part:
  • The postal address is indicated by all participants, and not just the legal entity, as it was before.
  • If in the second part the participant does not submit documents under the national regime, the application will be equated to an application with foreign goods, works, services of foreign persons.
We added one more reason when the operator will return the application - if the information about the participant is in the register of dishonest suppliers. Condition - the customer has limited in the documentation on the procurement of participants from the RNP.

The application no longer has a serial number, but an identification number. Such a number is assigned to the application and reported to the participant by the operator of the electronic site. The identification number is indicated in the protocols.

The bulk of the amendments to Law No. 223-FZ were made by Federal Law No. 505-FZ of December 31, 2017. For a full overview of the changes, read later in the recommendation.

Procurement methods

The two main changes are expanding the list of competitive purchases and establishing rules for electronic purchases. Read more about innovations.

ADDED COMPETITIVE PURCHASING

TO competition and auction added request for proposals and request for quotations. These methods of competitive procurement are called bidding. The customer has the right to conduct all competitive methods on the electronic platform, as well as in a closed form. The list is not exhaustive - the customer has the right to write in the procurement regulation other methods in addition to four, established by law No. 223-FZ.
The procurement is competitive if the customer simultaneously complies with three conditions:
  1. Publishes procurement information in the EIS or sends invitations to potential participants.
  2. Provides competition for the right to conclude a contract based on the results of the purchase.
  3. Describes the subject of the procurement, taking into account the requirements listed below.
Customers choose the methods of non-competitive purchases independently, including purchase from a single supplier.

DETERMINED THE ORDER OF COMPETITIVE PURCHASES

In order to conduct a competitive purchase, the customer publishes a notice and documentation in the EIS. There is no need to publish documentation when requesting quotations. The customer prescribes the requirements for the bids of participants in the documentation, and when requesting quotations - in the notice.
Applicants are entitled to submit only one application, and in case of a multi-lot purchase - one application for each lot. Before the customer completes the acceptance of applications, the participant has the right to change or withdraw the application.
Any participant has the right to ask for clarification of the notice and documentation. It is necessary to publish the response in the EIS within three working days from the date the request was received. The customer has the right not to respond to requests received later than three working days before the deadline for submitting applications. It is impossible to change the essence of the documentation with clarifications.
The customer has the right to cancel the purchase before it completes accepting bids. The decision to cancel must be published in the EIS.
To select a supplier, the customer creates a purchasing commission. Procurement records must be kept for at least three years.

HAVE ESTABLISHED REQUIREMENTS FOR PURCHASING FROM A SUPPLIER

Customers will publish information about the purchase from the single supplier in the EIS only if they provide for such an obligation in the procurement regulation. It is also necessary to write in the regulation the procedure for such a purchase and complete list cases when the customer has the right to conclude a contract with the supplier. A recommendation will help to conduct purchases from a single supplier and other non-competitive procedures.

DESCRIBED THE PROCEDURE OF PURCHASING IN ELECTRONIC FORM

With e-procurement, the entire document flow will take place on electronic platforms. Through the EP, participants will submit applications, send requests for clarifications to the documentation, and customers will publish clarifications in the EIS, gain access to applications, and form draft protocols. The operation of the electronic platform will be provided by the operator. The documents are signed by the customer, participant and operator of the electronic site with an enhanced qualified electronic signature. To participate in the procurement, the participant will be accredited to the EP.
To change or withdraw the application, the participant sends a notification to the operator of the electronic site. This can be done no later than the date on which the acceptance of applications ends. For more information on e-procurement, see the recommendation.

REGULATED CLOSED PURCHASES

Customers have the right to conduct any competitive procurement by a closed method. A closed form is chosen if the procurement information is a state secret or the information is not published in the EIS by decision of the Government or the Government's coordinating body for procurement within investment projects.
Information about a closed procurement is not published in the EIS. The customer sends invitations to participate in the procurement to at least two possible participants. The participant submits the application in a sealed envelope. How to conduct closed purchases in electronic form, the Government will determine.

Supplier selection

Customers will be required to describe the subject of the purchase according to the rules. The terms for the publication of the notice were tied to the methods of procurement. What else has changed, read on.

THE RULES FOR DESCRIPTION OF THE SUBJECT OF PROCUREMENT WERE APPROVED

Customers will describe the object of procurement according to the rules that are similar to the provisions of Law No. 44-FZ. It is necessary to write functional, technical, qualitative and operational characteristics of a product, work or service.
It will not be possible to indicate trademarks, service marks, trade names, patents, utility models, industrial designs, country of origin of goods. Exception - there is no other way to accurately describe the product. In this case, the phrase "or equivalent" must be used. It is not necessary to indicate equivalence in cases where the customer buys:
  • goods and it is necessary to ensure compatibility with the goods that the customer already has;
  • spare parts for machines and equipment that the customer already has;
  • goods in order to fulfill a contract under Law No. 44-FZ;
  • goods, works or services under international agreements or contracts of customers under Law No. 223-FZ, which provide for specific brands of goods.


HAVE CHANGED THE RULES FOR NWDC

The initial (maximum) price of the contract in the notice and documentation, the customers will indicate in one of three ways:
  1. initial (maximum) contract price (NMTsD);
  2. price formula and the maximum value of the contract price;
  3. the price of a unit of goods, work or service and the maximum value of the price of the contract.


HAVE ESTABLISHED REQUIREMENTS FOR SECURING APPLICATIONS

If the customer requires to secure the application, then the conditions must be written in the notice and documentation. How to secure the application, the customer will prescribe in the procurement regulations. This can be a cash deposit, a bank guarantee and other ways to Civil Code. The participant himself chooses a method from those established by the customer.
In addition to a bank guarantee and a pledge, it is possible to secure obligations with a penalty, retention of a thing, a surety, a deposit, a security deposit or in another way (clause 1 of article 329 of the Civil Code).
The customer has the right to establish security if the initial (maximum) price of the contract exceeds 5 million rubles. The size of the bid security shall not exceed 5 percent of NWDC.
The customer will not return the security if the winner of the purchase does not conclude an agreement or does not provide the security of the agreement (if it is provided for in the notice).

  • the order in which the customer summarizes the results of the procurement (procurement stages);
  • description of the procurement object in accordance with the rules described above.
Changed the content of the documentation. Customers will additionally indicate:
  • requirements for participants and subcontractors in the procurement of works for the design, construction, modernization and repair of especially dangerous, technically complex capital construction facilities and products related to the use of nuclear energy;
  • description of the subject of procurement in accordance with the rules described above.
In addition, the notice and documentation must include the rules for calculating NMTsD. Read more about what to write in the notice and in the documentation.
Will change the order in which amendments are made to the notice and documentation. If the customer changes the notice and documentation, it is necessary that after the publication of the amendments, at least half of the deadline for submitting bids according to the procurement regulations must remain. Let's say they published a notice of an auction on July 2. Applications are accepted for 15 calendar days, that is, until July 18. On the 16th the documentation was changed. It is necessary to extend the period by at least 8 calendar days, that is, until July 26.

THE TERMS OF PUBLICATION OF NOTIFICATIONS HAVE BEEN CHANGED

The terms in which customers will publish a notice in the EIS depend on the method of procurement. It is necessary to count the period from the date of publication of the notice to the date when you complete accepting applications, and when requesting proposals - when you make the request. The terms for purchases from SMEs and for purchases on a general basis are different.
Purchasing method Minimum term for general purchases Minimum term when purchasing from SMEs
Competition 15 calendar days Seven calendar days for NMTsD up to 30 million rubles, 15 calendar days for NMTsD above 30 million rubles.
Auction
Request for proposals seven business days Five working days, NMTsD should not exceed 15 million rubles.
Quote request Five business days Four working days, NMTsD should not exceed 7 million rubles.

Now the customer must give participants at least 20 calendar days to submit applications. The rule is valid only for the contest and auction. The terms for competitive purchases, which are not bidding, are set by the customer in the regulation (part 2 of article 3 of Law No. 223-FZ).

ESTABLISHED REQUIREMENTS FOR THE CONTENT OF PROTOCOLS

Customers will draw up two types of protocols: for each stage of the procurement and for the results of supplier selection (final protocol).

DETERMINED THE PROCEDURE FOR CONCLUDING THE AGREEMENT

The parties will conclude an agreement no earlier than 10 and no later than 20 calendar days from the date when the customer published the final protocol in the EIS. Another period applies if the participant has appealed the purchase to the FAS or if the customer needs the approval of the governing body. In this case, the parties sign the contract no later than five working days from the date when the customer received approval or the antimonopoly body made a decision.
Based on the results of competitive procurement, the customer will be able to conclude contracts with several participants in the cases provided for in the procurement regulations. For example, a contract with several contractors for research and development.

Rules for purchasing from SMEs

Purchases among small and medium-sized businesses will be carried out by customers only in electronic form. When purchasing from SMEs, the customer has the right to hold a tender in stages, at which:
  • discuss with the participants the characteristics of the products in order to clarify them;
  • will discuss the proposals of the participants in order to clarify the characteristics of the products;
  • review and evaluate applications;
  • will conduct a qualifying selection;
  • compare additional price offers of participants.
If the customer includes stages, he is obliged to follow the sequence described above. The time frame for each stage should be described in the documentation. Each stage can be included in the purchase only once.
In the auction and in the request for proposals, the customer has the right to include the stage of qualification selection, the terms of which must be written in the documentation. When requesting quotations, customers will not conduct a qualifying selection.
The participant has the right to provide security for the application in the form of a cash deposit or a bank guarantee. Other forms of security for procurement among SMEs are not provided. At the same time, the applicant does not deposit money into the account of the customer, but into a special account, which he opens in a bank from the list of the Ministry of Finance.
Applications for tender, auction and request for proposals will consist of two parts and a price offer. In the first part, the SME describes the products. In the second - indicates information about himself, describes consumer properties products, gives other conditions for the execution of the contract.
The contract between the customer and the SME entity will be concluded on the electronic platform. The winner has the right to send the protocol of disagreements to the customer - also through the electronic platform. Read more about e-procurement from SMEs in the recommendation.

Work procedure according to 44-FZ

Customers who have not fulfilled their purchase obligations from SMEs work under Law No. 44-FZ. From July 1, violators will not apply all the provisions of Law No. 44-FZ, but only:
  • justify the price of the contract;
  • choose the method of purchase;
  • purchase goods, works and services from SMP and SONO;
  • make demands on participants;
  • evaluate applications;
  • create a purchasing commission;
  • choose a supplier;
  • send information about participants to the FAS for inclusion in the register of unscrupulous suppliers;
  • conclude contracts with suppliers in accordance with the rules of part 1 of article 93 of Law No. 44-FZ.
The customer works according to Law No. 44-FZ, if he did not fulfill the obligation to purchase products from SMEs in the amount determined by the Government, did not publish a report on procurement from SMEs in the EIS, or published an unreliable report. Similar rules for working under Law No. 44-FZ from December 31, 2017 are valid for customers who have not approved and published the procurement regulation in the EIS.

Requirements for operators of an electronic platform

The operation of the electronic platform will be provided by the operator. An ES operator can only be a legal entity in the form of a limited liability company or a non-public joint-stock company. In the authorized capital of a legal entity, the share of foreign citizens or stateless persons, foreign legal entities should not exceed 25 percent. The operator must own the electronic platform, including the equipment and programs necessary for the operation of the ES.
The operator of the electronic platform ensures the secrecy of the documents that it receives from the participant and transfers to the customer. Negotiations between the customer and the operator of the electronic platform are prohibited, but only if such negotiations create advantages for any of the participants or confidential information is disclosed.
The requirements for site operators when purchasing from SMEs are different. Such sites will operate in accordance with the rules of Law No. 44-FZ, taking into account additional requirements to be established by the government. Now there are six sites, but the exact list will be determined by the Government.

Procurement reporting

From July 1, 2018, there is no need to publish monthly reports on purchases from small and medium-sized businesses. In the UIS, customers post information on the number and cost of contracts based on the results of all purchases, purchases from a single supplier, as well as contracts with a single supplier based on the results of a failed purchase.

The procedure for judicial appeal

The participant has the right to appeal in court any actions of the customer. The SME Corporation, regional governments and organizations created by them will be able to file a complaint only if the customer:
  • conducts procurement in violation of Law No. 223-FZ or the procurement regulation;
  • made requirements to the participants that were not provided for by the procurement documentation;
  • did not approve and did not publish the procurement regulation in the EIS and did not conduct the procurement in accordance with the rules of Law No. 44-FZ;
  • did not publish the annual report on procurement from SMEs in the EIS or posted false information.
The SME Corporation, regional authorities and organizations created by them can only file a complaint against customers who are assessed and monitored. Now there is only one restriction - you can appeal against the actions of the customer in relation to the SME.
They will introduce a new basis for a complaint to the FAS - a violation of Law No. 223-FZ by an operator of an electronic site. Only the procurement participant is entitled to apply to the antimonopoly body on this basis.

Purchases for investment projects

The new procurement rules for investment projects are subject to the simultaneous observance of two conditions:
  1. The customer implements an investment project with state support, while the project included a list of investment projects.
  2. The cost of the investment project is at least 500 million rubles.
The rule will not apply to the following customers:
  • state corporations;
  • state companies;
The government will be given the right to oblige a legal entity to publish lists of promising needs for engineering products. At the same time, the customer has the right to buy products from the list only after he provides information to the coordinating body of the Government.
The changes come into effect on June 30, 2018.

Procurement with approved NWDC

The government will establish lists of goods with the initial (maximum) price of the contract. If the customer has planned a higher price, then he must coordinate the purchase with the coordinating body of the Government. Purchasing, in agreement with the coordinating body, it is also necessary to purchase works, services and rent if the counterparty will use goods from the list.
The rules apply to the following customers:
  • state corporations;
  • state companies;
  • economic companies, in the authorized capital of which the share of the state participation exceeds 50 percent;
  • subsidiary business companies, in the authorized capital of which more than 50 percent belongs to the listed legal entities.
