Purchases and auctions. Provide an application for participation

This is the purchase by the government of goods, works or services.

Government procurement is the same market for goods and services with one caveat: the buyers are state, regional and municipal enterprises and organizations. They also need ordinary paper clips and pencils, medical supplies, office furniture or their own website. They need to maintain and restore buildings, remove garbage and install Internet and telephony.

Simply put, government procurement exists in every field and in every region. They are interesting to business because the state is a good partner. The supplier can be a legal entity, an individual entrepreneur or individual. Money for government procurement is included in the budget, so you are guaranteed to be paid for the goods delivered or the service performed.

Why participate in government procurement?

This is a good market.

Government organizations are a significant part of our economy. According to the FAS, the state's share in Russia's GDP has doubled in 10 years. In 2005 it was 35%, and in 2015 - 70%.

In addition, it increases the level of trust in your company and has a good effect on your reputation. Therefore, such a significant layer of the economy should not be overlooked.

I don't understand anything about government procurement. How to participate in them?

Government purchases come in different volumes. If the cost of purchases is more than 100 thousand rubles, information about them is posted on the website zakupki.gov.ru. Look for a suitable competition, submit an application and participate in the electronic auction. This is not an easy process, but if you want to compete for a significant part of the market, then it’s worth figuring it out. The main thing is to be patient.

There is an easier way to participate in government procurement, without competitions and auctions. It is of interest to small and medium-sized businesses due to the simplified participation procedure and small contract amounts. It looks like this: you offer your product or service to a government agency, and it selects a supplier and enters into a contract.

This procurement option is possible if their cost does not exceed 100 thousand rubles (or 400 thousand rubles if the purchase is made educational organizations or cultural institutions: zoos, planetariums, recreation parks, theaters, philharmonic societies, libraries, and so on). Such purchases are called small volume purchases.

How to participate in small volume purchases?

The fact is that, according to No. 44-FZ, which regulates government procurement, information about small-volume purchases need not be published anywhere. It is believed that they are insignificant and holding auctions for such amounts is inappropriate. Therefore, government customers usually look for goods without competition (often choosing not the best profitable proposition and inefficiently spending budget money), and entrepreneurs cannot offer their services.

Moscow took a different path. To save budget and attract small and medium-sized businesses to government procurement, the city leadership created a single supplier portal. Not a single state or municipal institution in Moscow can conclude a small-volume procurement contract without going through the website. If we draw an analogy, you cannot buy bread without going to the store to buy it.

The Moscow supplier portal is focused specifically on small-volume purchases of up to 100 thousand rubles (or 400 thousand rubles if the purchase is made by cultural institutions or educational organizations). In addition, the portal hosts non-competitive purchases of medicines based on decisions of medical commissions.

And what is the Moscow supplier portal?

This is an online platform on which the city posts information about small-scale purchases and provides small businesses with access to the market for goods and services with a turnover of about 20 billion rubles per year.

Individual entrepreneurs and small businesses participate in government procurement in Moscow without auctions or unnecessary hassles. Anyone can post an offer on the portal, and city customers (there are more than 2.5 thousand of them) choose the best offer. Essentially, this is a store where you place your goods or services, offering them to the government.

Government procurement on the website takes place electronically. View orders and offer your services to state and municipal organizations and institutions without leaving your home.

The trick of the portal is that all procurement data is open and everything is transparent. You can see:

  • Procurement plans of government agencies and institutions for the coming year (in the “Plans” section).
  • Offers and prices of competitors (in the “Offers” section).
  • Transaction history for each registered supplier or customer (in the “Purchases” section).
  • Concluded contracts (in the “Contracts” section).

In the field of small-scale government procurement, clear and understandable rules have appeared that any entrepreneur can study. The chance of receiving a government order in such a system is much higher: you study the market and offer the best option from those available. At the same time, you do not reduce the price below the market price, do not work at a loss, but sell the product or service at a fair price.

This is just a semblance of honest procurement, isn’t it?

No, purchases are carried out honestly, without acquaintances and cronyism. 93% of entrepreneurs registered on the website received government orders and became suppliers.

Integrity is achieved through transparency, openness, electronic document management and clear procedures. It is precisely for this purpose that all data on previous contracts is open on the portal. Everything can be traced and, if something is dishonest, you can contact the FAS. Violations are fraught with heavy fines and criminal liability.

This is a cool solution for government procurement, which is used in the EU and other developed countries. For example, the top five leading countries in the corruption perception index in 2016 included Denmark, New Zealand, Finland, Sweden and Switzerland, which adhere to similar principles in public procurement.

If you still don’t believe in the integrity of procurement on the portal, the numbers speak for themselves: in 2016, Moscow saved about 37 billion rubles on government procurement, topping the National Procurement Transparency Rating.

Tender (bidding)

Tender (tender - offer) - a competitive form of selection of proposals for the supply of goods, provision of services or performance of work according to conditions previously announced in the documentation, within a specified time frame, on the principles of competition, fairness and efficiency. The contract is concluded with the winner of the tender - the participant who submitted a proposal that meets the requirements of the documentation, which offers the best conditions.

The term “tender”, used in everyday speech, can be an analogue of the Russian terms competition or auction, as well as other competitive procedures, for example, request for quotations, request for proposals. Trades in Russian Federation are divided into open and closed, can be carried out in one or two stages, in the form of a competition or auction. Bidding carried out for government needs within the framework of government orders is carried out only in one stage.

Legislation on the placement of state and municipal orders (Federal Law of July 21, 2005 No. 94-FZ “On the placement of orders for the supply of goods, performance of work, provision of services for state and municipal needs”) also provides for other methods of procurement that are not tenders - this is a request for price quotes - which can be used for small volumes of purchases (less than 500,000 rubles), as well as purchases from a single source, used in cases specifically specified in Russian legislation.

Russian legislation

On July 21, 2005, Federal Law No. 94-FZ “On placing orders for the supply of goods, performance of work, and provision of services for state and municipal needs” was issued, which came into force on January 1, 2006. This law regulates all state and municipal procurement in the Russian Federation, and also introduces a number of mandatory requirements for the publication of information about ongoing procurement on the Internet.

Law 94-FZ does not contain the term “tender”, since it is borrowed from in English by tracing (borrowing the structure of an element of a foreign language) without translating it and reflecting the true meaning of the word. Instead, a more correct term is used, which is present in the legislation of the Russian Federation - open competition. The law also defines such types of procurement as request for quotation, open auction, open auction in electronic form, pre-selection, exchange trading.

On July 24, 2007, Federal Law No. 218-FZ “On Amendments to the Federal Law “On Placing Orders for the Supply of Goods, Performance of Work, and Provision of Services for State and Municipal Needs” was adopted. This law introduced significant changes to the procedures for placing government orders, the list of grounds for procurement using the “single supplier” method was expanded, the procedure for calculating deadlines was changed (from calendar days to working days), etc. Subsequently, Federal Laws No. 257-FZ of November 8, 2007, No. 160-FZ of July 23 were adopted. 2008, No. 225-FZ dated December 1, 2008, No. 308-FZ dated December 30, 2008, No. 323-FZ dated December 30, 2008, No. 68-FZ dated April 28, 2009, No. 93-FZ dated May 8, 2009 and No. 144- Federal Law dated July 1, 2009, No. 147-FZ dated July 17, 2009, No. 155-FZ dated July 17, 2009, and No. 164-FZ dated July 17, 2009, introducing numerous clarifications and amendments to the law. The current version contains amendments that entered into force on July 17 2009 with the release of Law No. 164-FZ (Article 7). Based on materials from ru.wikipedia.org

Types of government procurement

  • With bidding
    • Competitions
      • Open competition
      • Closed competition
    • Auctions
      • Open auction
      • Closed auction
      • Electronic auction

Open competition

The most common method of competitive procurement is an open tender, in which any supplier can participate. Notice of an open competition is published in specialized publications, on the customer’s website, and in the media. The open competition procedure lasts at least a month and requires large resources (preparation of competition documentation, evaluation of applications, etc.).

The competition is held by the customer or his authorized representative. All requirements for the subject of procurement and suppliers, as well as the criteria for selecting the winner and the tender procedure are set out in the tender documentation. Participants in the competition submit applications completed in accordance with the requirements. If only one application is submitted to the competition, it is considered invalid.

During the public procedure for opening bids, the tender participants and their price proposals are announced. The competition commission evaluates all applications and determines the winner - the participant who submitted the most advantageous offer. Negotiations are being held with him to conclude a contract.

If negotiations reach a dead end, the tender organizer conducts them with the supplier who made the next most profitable offer.

Closed competition

The rules for a closed competition are the same as for an open competition. The difference lies in the choice of participants. While any eligible supplier can participate in an open tender, an invitation to participate in a closed tender is not published. Only those suppliers invited by the customer can participate in it. Information about the results of a closed competition is also not published.

A closed competition is held in the following cases:

  • products are available only from a limited number of suppliers or a limited number of suppliers have qualifications that suit the customer;
  • products are purchased for security needs or the purchase is confidential;
  • the time and expense that will be required to review and evaluate large quantity competitive bids are incommensurate with the cost of purchased products.

Open auction

An open auction allows you to implement government orders by submitting an application via the Internet. A government contract providing for the provision of goods, works or services is called a lot. The main criterion for determining the winner of any auction is the price. Therefore, the winner of the auction is the person who offers the most low price state or municipal contract.

Notice of an open auction is published in the official printed edition and is posted on the official website no less than twenty days before the deadline for submitting applications for participation in the auction. In cases specified by law, notice of an open auction may be reduced to seven working days before the deadline for filing applications.

Bids at an auction can be discrete (with a certain step) or continuous. An auction may consist of several rounds, at each of which participants have the opportunity to place a new bid. If no new bids are made at the end of the round, the auction ends.

To confirm the seriousness of the intentions of auction participants, they usually take a non-refundable cash deposit, deposit or other security for bids.

Closed auction

Like competitions, auctions can be open or closed. However, if in closed tenders the rules are exactly the same as in open ones, but a limited number of suppliers are allowed to participate, then in closed auctions there are no such restrictions. The only difference between closed auctions is that auctioneers do not know the bids of other participants, since they are submitted in sealed envelopes, whereas in open auctions each bid becomes known to all participants.

Notice of a closed auction, auction documentation, changes made to it, as well as explanations of auction documentation are not subject to publication in the media or posting on the Internet. The customer, the authorized body, no later than twenty days before the deadline for submitting applications for participation in the auction, sends in writing invitations to take part in a closed auction to persons who meet the requirements of the law, have access to information constituting state secrets, and are able to supply goods , performance of work, provision of services that are the subject of the auction.

Closed auctions are most often used to reduce the customer’s risks, primarily associated with possible collusion among participants. However, the price for this is reduced efficiency.

Electronic auction

An open auction in electronic form (OAEF) is an auction in electronic form on the website of electronic trading platforms accredited by the Ministry economic development RF. Its procedure is regulated by Chapter 3.1. Federal Law No. 94-FZ and government regulations.

Notice of the auction, as well as other information about the progress and results of the auction, is posted directly on electronic platforms.

From July 1, 2010, federal government customers, and from January 1, 2011 - customers from constituent entities of the Russian Federation and municipal customers are required to conduct open auctions in electronic form. In such conditions, it is not known until the end of the auction who is bidding, which ensures competition and reduces the possibility of corruption.

Accredited electronic trading platforms (ETP) for government orders

According to the decision of the Russian Ministry of Economic Development, by January 1, 2010, five electronic trading platforms were selected:

  • CJSC "Sberbank-AST";
  • OJSC "Unified Electronic Trading Platform";
  • State Unitary Enterprise "Agency for government order Republic of Tatarstan";
  • CJSC Moscow Interbank Currency Exchange;

Advantages of electronic auctions

In addition to saving budget funds and reducing the risk of corruption, the UAEF provides wide access to government orders for small and medium-sized enterprises, expanding markets for the goods they produce and services they provide. Among the advantages of electronic auctions, compared to conventional auctions and competitions, are the following:

  • Short deadlines;
  • Saving budget funds on organizing and conducting tenders;
  • Transparency and openness of the procurement process;
  • Fair competition, excluding non-price methods of struggle;
  • Equal rights for all suppliers of goods, works and services;
  • Participation in auctions is possible from anywhere in the world, without leaving your office;
  • High level of security and protection, use of electronic digital signatures;
  • Accessibility for representatives of medium and small businesses who previously could not enter the area of ​​public procurement.
Regulations for holding open auctions in electronic form:
  • To participate in the auction, you need to register on the electronic trading platform and on the day of the auction, go to the auction website using identification tools or digital signature.
  • The auction is for price reduction. If the price drops to zero, then it will go up.
  • At the start of the auction, the participant can make a price offer within the current auction step, not exceeding the initial (maximum) contract price, using a special form on the website.
  • A participant can submit price proposals multiple times.
  • Bidding is considered completed if, after 10 minutes from the start of bidding or the last price offer, no proposal has been received from the participant providing a lower price.
  • The winner is the participant who offers the lowest contract price.
  • The participant who made the next best price offer after the winner is also identified.
  • The system automatically generates a protocol with trading results within a few minutes.
  • No bidding
    • Request price quotes
      • limit on amount: up to 500 thousand rubles. per quarter for goods/works/services of the same name
      • restriction on goods: there must be an existing market for goods/works/services, customer requirements must be quite general
      • limit on amount: up to 100 thousand rubles. per quarter for goods/works/services of the same name

Request for quotation

A request for quotation is a method of placing an order in which information about the needs for goods, works, and services for state or municipal needs is communicated to an unlimited number of people by posting a notice of a request for quotation on the official website. The procedure for requesting quotes is regulated by Chapter 4 federal law No. 94-FZ dated July 21, 2005.

This method is usually used in cases where we are talking about serial, standard products, for example, computers, office supplies, fuels and lubricants, some types of construction work, rental premises, etc. The winner is the participant who offers the lowest price contract.

The limit for placing an order by requesting quotations at the maximum contract price should not exceed 500,000 rubles.

The method of requesting quotations is the simplest and fastest of the competitive procedures. In this case, there is no need to develop tender documentation and application evaluation criteria, and since most often it is purchased serial production, the assessment of quotation bids, taking into account all approvals, occurs in approximately 1-7 days.

The disadvantage of the method of requesting quotes is the ability of interested parties to influence the outcome of the purchase, because All proposed prices are known to the organizers before the deadline for accepting applications.

Placing an order with a single supplier

In sole source procurement, the customer submits a contract proposal and negotiates with only one supplier.

Purchasing from one supplier is used in the following cases:

  • when the product is provided by only one supplier or the equipment is patented and can only be purchased from a single source, and there is no equivalent substitute;
  • when extending the concluded contract, if it provided for such an opportunity;
  • if the contractor needs to purchase key items from a specific supplier as a guarantee of contract performance;
  • in emergency circumstances (liquidation of the consequences of natural disasters);
  • if there were no suitable proposals during the procurement using the competitive method.
It is advisable to purchase products from one supplier for small purchase amounts, when the customer’s costs for searching and selecting suppliers are much greater than the price of the purchased products.

Government procurement - we start and win

Are you familiar with the expression “Supplier to the Court of His Imperial Majesty”? This title was given to merchants who constantly supplied goods for the imperial needs. Being a supplier to the yard was very honorable; such status spoke for itself and served as the best guarantee and advertisement of goods and services.

Getting the title of yard supplier was very difficult. Just to file a petition against him, the merchant had to supply goods or works of his own production to the court “at relatively low prices” for 10 years, have no complaints from consumers, and participate in industrial exhibitions. At the end of the 19th century, there were only about 40 court suppliers, and among them were not only Russian merchants, but also foreigners.

It is much easier for today's applicants for supplies for government needs, although, of course, they will have to try hard to obtain such an order. But still, any businessman has a chance to receive a government order.

Are you going to participate in government procurement? Open a current account in a reliable bank. Many banks offer favorable conditions for opening and maintaining a current account. You can view the offers here.

What is government procurement?

State procurements is a system for placing orders for the supply of goods, performance of work or provision of services for municipal or state needs. Government procurement was introduced by law dated July 21, 2005 No. 94-FZ, which became invalid on January 1, 2014.

Currently, the procedure for government procurement is regulated by Law No. 44-FZ dated 04/05/2013 “On the contract system in the field of procurement of goods, works, and services to meet state and municipal needs,” but on some electronic trading platforms there are still references to Law No. 94-FZ. Such a contract system involves a competitive selection of suppliers of goods and services, which allows the state to obtain the most favorable conditions for supplies and reduce corruption in public procurement through a system of “kickbacks”, although, of course, it is too early to talk about its complete eradication in this area.

The range of state or municipal orders is very wide, among them there are many small ones, not exceeding 1 million rubles. This makes it possible for not only large suppliers, but also small businesses, including individual entrepreneurs, to participate in government procurement. For suppliers who are also socially oriented non-profit organizations, there is a special quota - customers are required to make at least 15% of the total annual volume of government procurement from them (Article 30 of Law No. 44-FZ). The number of state and municipal customers on official websites exceeds 250 thousand, hundreds of new orders for hundreds are announced every day

Where are government procurements carried out?

Let's assume you are carrying out construction work; as of 01/04/2019, 1,581 tenders were open for this position.

By clicking on one of the advertisements, you can go to the auction page itself, which contains full information about its implementation.

Procurement methods under 44-FZ

Article 24 of this law gives the concept “ ways to determine the supplier”, that is, exactly how government procurement can take place. These methods are divided into competitive and non-competitive. Non-competitive methods include procurement from a single supplier (contractor, performer), while competitive methods have the following classification:

At open methods In public procurement, information about them is communicated by the customer to an unlimited number of persons, and uniform requirements are imposed on procurement participants. Closed methods supplier definition is the sending of invitations to participate in a competition or auction to a limited number of persons who meet the customer’s requirements.

Closed methods are used in the following cases:

  • information on government procurement is a state secret;
  • a contract is concluded for services for insurance, transportation and protection of valuables of the State Fund, museum objects and museum collections and other items of important historical, artistic or cultural significance;
  • a contract is concluded for cleaning services and driver services to support the activities of judges and bailiffs.

Today, the most popular methods of conducting government procurement within the framework of 44-FZ are an electronic auction, an open competition and procurement from a single supplier. As an example, let’s look at how an electronic auction works.

Stages of an electronic auction

1.Get an electronic signature

A mandatory condition for participation in the auction is the presence of an electronic signature. It must be obtained from an accredited certification center; read more about this in the article.

2.Pass accreditation of participants

To participate in electronic trading, the participant must be accredited on the site. Scanned documents must be attached to the application for accreditation.

For legal entities This:

  • extract from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities and copies of constituent documents;
  • Copies of documents confirming the authority of the head;
  • power of attorney to carry out actions on the site on behalf of the participant;
  • decision on approval or execution of transactions based on the results of electronic auction indicating the maximum amount of such a transaction.

Individual entrepreneurs submit a copy of an extract from the Unified State Register of Individual Entrepreneurs and a copy of identification documents.

3.Provide an application for participation

Securing the application is a mandatory condition for participation in the auction. This is, in fact, a deposit in the amount of 0.5% to 5% of the contract amount, which is blocked on the participant’s personal account. Securing the application is also possible in the form of, and some sites offer loans for these purposes.

The blocking is lifted, that is, the deposit amount is returned, if:

  • the application was withdrawn by the participant before the deadline for submitting applications;
  • based on the results of consideration, the application was rejected;
  • the second part of the application is found to be inappropriate;
  • a contract was concluded with the participant based on his application.

The deposit amount will not be returned if the participant recognized as the winner avoids concluding the contract or if the second part of the application is found to be non-conforming for the third time within one quarter.

4.Apply for participation

The application is submitted on the site through a special interface. The application consists of two parts. The first part of the application includes only the participant’s consent and information about the goods, works, and services offered for delivery. To ensure anonymity, the first part does not contain information about the name of the participant.

The second part of the application includes:

  • TIN and name of the organization or full name of the individual entrepreneur indicating passport details;
  • documents confirming the auction participant’s compliance with the requirements of Article 31 of Law No. 44-FZ (the participant should not have debts on taxes and fees, convictions for economic crimes, conflicts of interest between the procurement participant and the customer, etc.);
  • copies of documents confirming the compliance of goods, work or services with the requirements established in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation;
  • decision to approve or complete a major transaction;
  • documents confirming the right of the auction participant to receive benefits (for institutions of the penal system and organizations of disabled people);
  • declaration of the participant’s affiliation with small businesses or socially oriented non-profit organizations.

Electronic operator trading platform transfers to the customer the first parts of applications, which he must consider and admit to bidding, or, conversely, reject. Admission may be denied due to unreliable information about the product, work or service required by the auction documentation or due to its absence at all.

5.Participation in electronic trading

At the appointed time, the participant enters his personal account on the site and submits his price proposals. The auction takes place in two stages:

  1. Bidding stage (primary time). Participants' proposals are submitted within the auction step (0.5% - 5% of the initial maximum contract price), as well as regardless of the “auction step”, subject to certain requirements. The time for accepting proposals is 10 minutes from the start of the auction, as well as 10 minutes after the receipt of the last proposal for the contract price.
  2. Bidding closing stage. At this stage, price proposals can be submitted by all auction participants, except for the one who offered the best price or the same price at the bidding stage.

6. Signing a contract with the auction winner

The winner receives a draft contract from the customer, which must be reviewed and signed by his electronic signature or send a protocol of disagreements (if errors or inconsistencies with the requirements of auction documentation and legislation are found in the draft contract). If within the regulated period (no more than 13 days) the contract was not signed or a protocol of disagreements was not sent, then the customer is automatically notified of the participant’s evasion from concluding the contract. In this case, the amount of the security application is not returned to the auction participant.

Where can I get training in government procurement procedures?

Law No. 44-FZ is not just voluminous (about 180 pages per Word format), but also difficult to understand, so mastering the government procurement procedure on your own is problematic. We have already said above that information is published on government platforms in the form step by step instructions. You can get full training, but for a certain amount of money, at the special Sberbank-AST.

In addition, a Unified Government Order Center has been created in Moscow, within which representatives of small and medium-sized businesses can receive free information support, which includes:

  • seminars, round tables, forums, face-to-face, correspondence and online consultations;
  • kit teaching materials, memos, instructions.
