44-FZ, EIS, Purchases from a single supplier, Request for quotations, Request for proposals, Tender, NMCK, Procurement procedure, RNP, Articles, ETP

Since mid-2019, all procedures have been carried out on electronic trading platforms. In this regard, the old ways of purchasing will undergo changes. We recently wrote, and today we will tell you about what is a request for quotes in electronic form.

Legal basis

Changes to 44-FZ, mentioned above, were made Law of December 31, 2017 No. 504-FZ... He introduces, among other things, a new paragraph 3.1, which will deal with the request for quotations in electronic form.

This method of determining the supplier is still used only in the classical form, that is, it is carried out without the participation of the ETP. Let's see what will change when it is converted to electronic format.

Registration in ERUZ UIS
From January 1 2020 years to participate in trades under 44-ФЗ, 223-ФЗ and 615-ПП registration is required in the register of URUZ (Unified Register of Procurement Participants) on the EIS (Unified Information System) portal in the field of procurement zakupki.gov.ru.
We provide a service for registration in the ERUZ in the EIS:

Conditions for the procedure

Request for quotations in electronic form will be carried out using the functionality provided by the electronic trading platform... The criterion for evaluating applications is price, that is, the participant who offered the lowest price wins.

For an electronic request for quotes, the same conditions apply as for the classic one:

initial contract price - up to 500 thousand rubles;
the annual volume of such purchases - within 10% and not more than 100 million rubles.

Stages

Placing a notice

The notice is published in the EIS no later than in 5 days prior to the electronic request for quotations. It must contain the following information:

the address of the ETP that will conduct the request;
customer information;
purchase identification code;
a summary of the terms of the contract;
data on limitations and benefits;
an indication of the method of conducting the supplier;
the amount of security;
information regarding the procurement object;
information about the contract manager or responsible specialist customer;
information on how you can terminate the contract unilaterally;
a list of documents that the participant must submit and the requirements that he must meet;
draft contract (attached to the notice).

Submission of applications

Since the procedure is carried out on the ETP, the participant submitting the application must be accredited there. In addition, it must be registered in the EIS.

Registration in the EIS will become mandatory for all suppliers from 2019.

As part of the application, the participant submits:

consent to the execution of the contract - the supply of goods, the performance of work, the provision of services;
information about yourself, including contacts;
confirmation of compliance with the customer's requirements (declaration), that the participant is a small business entity or has the right to receive any other advantage specified in the purchase.

The participant submits the formed application through Personal Area... The operator checks the application and, if everything is in order, sends it to the customer. ETP can reject the application by several reasons:

late submission;
non-compliance with requirements;
if one supplier has sent 2 applications;
there is no price offer in the application or the price is equal to zero;
the price in the application exceeds the NMCK;
the supplier is included in the RNP.

Under the new rules, the presence of a participant in the RNP will be checked by the trading operator, and not by the customer.

ETP may reject a participant's application within 1 hour after serving... In this case, the operator is obliged to indicate the reason.

Consideration of applications

Within the next day after the deadline for accepting applications, the customer must consider them. As a result, he will either accept the application for participation, or not. There are few reasons for rejection:

failure of the participant to provide the necessary data;
provision of incomplete or inaccurate data.

It is prohibited to reject the application for other reasons.

Based on the results of the consideration, a protocol is drawn up, signed and sent to the trading operator.

Choosing a winner

In the next step, the operator ranks all orders accepted by the customer by price. To summarize the request for quotations in electronic form, the operator has only 1 hour from the moment when the protocol was received from the customer. During this time, you need to form a protocol and place it on the ETP and in the EIS.

The winner is the participant whose proposal contained lowest price... It is with him that the customer will conclude a contract.

Is the customer obliged to accept quotation bids in in electronic format sent to Email customer, before the introduction of a unified information system?
Is it possible to indicate in the notification that only paper applications are accepted?

Unfortunately, the current legislation does not allow to give an unambiguous answer to the question asked... Making a decision regarding a specific situation will depend on the position of the regulatory authorities and courts operating in the customer's region. Let us explain in more detail.

By virtue of Part 1 of Art. 5 of the Law on contract system within the framework of relations regulated by this law, it is allowed to exchange electronic documents stipulated by the legislation of the Russian Federation and other regulatory legal acts on the contractual system in the field of procurement, between participants in the contractual system in the field of procurement, including filing applications for participation in determining a supplier, contractor , the contractor (hereinafter referred to as the counterparty), the final proposals. In this case, these applications, final proposals and documents must be signed with an enhanced electronic signature and submitted using a unified information system. However, to date, the EIS has not been put into operation, therefore, submit an application in the form electronic document using this system is objectively impossible. At the same time, the transitional provisions of the Law on the Contract System for all cases of procurement established only a temporary procedure for posting information that must be placed in the EIS (part 2 of article 112 of the Law on the Constitutional Court). Transitional provisions are provided for electronic filing procedures only for electronic auctions- they are conducted according to the old rules (part 10 of article 112 of the Law on the Constitutional Court). Provisions according to which, prior to the introduction of the EIS into operation, electronic documents must be exchanged between procurement participants and customers in other cases, regulations do not contain.

In connection with the above, the Ministry of Economic Development of Russia in a letter dated 06.05.2014 No. 10070-EE / D28i explained that the Law on the Constitutional Court does not provide for filing applications in the form of an electronic document via e-mail. In addition, filing applications via e-mail does not allow ensuring the security, inviolability and confidentiality of such applications and their consideration only after opening access to them in set time, which contradicts the provisions of Part 4 of Art. 77 of the Law on the Constitutional Court. Therefore, before the EIS is put into operation, the submission of applications in the form of an electronic document is unacceptable (see also paragraph 67 of the letter of the Ministry of Economic Development of Russia No. D28I-1889 dated September 30, 2014). However, we recall that the Ministry of Economic Development of Russia is not endowed with the competence to clarify legislation Russian Federation.

As for the FAS Russia, which monitors compliance with the legislation on the contract system and provides legal entities and individuals with clarifications on issues within its competence (subclause 5.3.1.12 clause 5, subclause 6.3 clause 6 of the Regulation on the Federal Antimonopoly Service, approved by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of June 30, 2004 No. 331), then its position on the issue of submitting a quotation application in the form of an electronic document is ambiguous.
So, in the decision of the FAS Administration for the Novosibirsk Region dated 05/12/2014 No. 08-01-147, it is indicated that submitting a quotation application to the email address specified by the customer in the notification is the proper way to submit an application in electronic form. In another case, the territorial body of the FAS Russia indicated that the Law on the Constitutional Court does not provide for such a method of submitting a quotation application in electronic form, as submitting it to an e-mail address. Accordingly, by placing a notice of a request for quotations containing information on the possibility of submitting bids of procurement participants to the customer's email address, and not through the EIS, the customer violated the requirements of the Law on the Constitutional Court (decision of the Omsk OFAS Russia dated March 25, 2014 in case No. 03-10.1 / 90 -2014).

At the same time, we note that Part 5.2 of Art. 112 of the Law on the Contract System establishes that an electronic document that is signed with an electronic signature, the verification key of which is contained in the electronic signature verification key certificate issued federal body executive power exercising law enforcement functions for cash services for the execution of budgets of the budgetary system of the Russian Federation is recognized as an electronic document signed with an enhanced unqualified electronic signature, for the purposes of this Law during the validity period of the specified certificate, but no later than the date of commissioning of the EIS. In other words, the Law on the Contract System directly permits the submission of documents with electronic signatures during the transitional period, and this rule is applied for the purposes of the Law on the CC in general, and not only for the purpose of conducting electronic auctions. In addition, an exhaustive list of grounds for rejecting a quotation order, contained in Part 7 of Art. 78 of the Law on the Constitutional Court, does not contain such a basis for rejecting an application for participation in the determination of counterparties, as “filing an application in the form of an electronic document without using the EIS”.

At the same time, clause 2 of part 1 of Art. 73 of the Law on the Constitutional Court it is established that the notice of the request for quotations must contain the application form for participation in the request for quotations, including submitted in the form of an electronic document. In accordance with the requirements established by Part 2 of Art. 77 of the Law on the Constitutional Court, an application for participation in the request for quotations is submitted to the customer at writing in a sealed envelope that does not allow viewing the content of such an application before opening the envelope, or in the form of an electronic document before the date and time of opening the envelopes with applications for participation in the request for quotations and opening access to applications for participation in the request for quotations submitted in the form of electronic documents specified in notification of the request for quotations. In other words, the Law on the Contract System establishes the possibility of filing an application in two forms: in writing or in the form of an electronic document. Accordingly, the establishment of only one application form in the notice of the request for quotations can be regarded by the regulatory authorities as a violation of the Law on the Contract System. Thus, the OFAS in the Vologda Oblast in its decision indicated that competition implies rivalry between economic entities, and the customer, when carrying out procedures, should not give preference to some participants over others. Since Russia is a single economic space, in the case of accepting quotation bids on paper, an advantage is given to some participants over others: a participant from the same region has more chances to apply than a participant from another region. In connection with the above, OFAS notes that since the procurement participant does not have the opportunity to register on the official website and submit an application through it, but at the same time, it is necessary to comply with the legislation of the Russian Federation on the contract system, be guided by the goals and principles of procurement activities, it is necessary to provide an opportunity participants to submit applications electronically to the customer's e-mail address prior to the commissioning of the unified information system. However, the procedure for fulfilling this obligation is more a technical issue than a legal one.

Due to the fact that the position of the FAS Russia on the issue of submitting quotation bids by e-mail is very contradictory, it is unfortunately not possible to give an unambiguous answer to the question.

To participate in an order placed through request for quotations, you must submit quotation application.

According to part 2 of article 46 of the Law of the Russian Federation, a quotation bid is submitted by a participant in an order placement to a customer, an authorized body in writing or in the form of an electronic document.

Submission of a quotation application by facsimile communication is not provided for by the Law.

Submission of quotation bids on paper.

The application can be submitted in the form mailing or by courier.

A plus this approach- EDS is not required
Minuses:
- If it is not possible to deliver the application in person or by courier, then when sending a letter by mail, the application may not reach the Customer within the specified deadlines for submitting applications, and will not be accepted for consideration.
- Large compared to electronically labor, time and financial costs.

Submission of applications in the form of an electronic document.

This type of application does not mean that the application can be simply sent by e-mail.
To submit a quotation application, you must:
1. The presence of an Electronic Digital Signature (EDS).
2. Availability software allowing you to sign electronic documents with your EDS. For example, there are add-ins over the MS Word program that allow you to sign documents Microsoft Word.

The generated document can be sent to the Customer in several ways:
1. On electronic media (CD, flash card) by courier.
2. By email. But in this case, it is necessary to make sure whether the letter reached the Customer, and whether the application was accepted (although, by law, the customer must send a notification of the receipt of the application, but the letter may "get lost" or not reach the customer).

The advantages of this method are obvious. This is an opportunity to apply for as soon as possible, almost instant workflow. Application submission becomes less labor-intensive.

Of the minuses, it is worth noting the necessary presence of an EDS, as well as more high risk emergence conflict situations related to the refusal to consider an application filed in this way for some (not entirely legal) reasons.

The provisions of Part 2 of Art. 24 of Federal Law No. 44-FZ of 05.04.2013 "On the contract system in the field of procurement of goods, works, services to meet state and municipal needs" (hereinafter - FZ No. 44) defines an exhaustive list of competitive methods for determining a supplier (contractor, contractor), which can be used by customers in their procurement. Among the above methods of procurement, it is indicated request for quotes.

In this article, which is more focused on procurement participants who want to understand the issues of participation in the request for quotations and in the preparation of their first application, the main cases and features of the request for quotations will be explained in detail, as well as given step by step algorithm participation in this method of procurement, starting from the search for purchases on a topic of interest to the conclusion of a contract.

Art. 72 FZ No. 44 under request for quotes means a method for determining a supplier (contractor, performer), in which information about goods, works or services purchased to meet state or municipal needs is communicated to an unlimited number of persons by placing a notice of a request for quotations in a unified information system (hereinafter - EIS), and the winner of the request quotes the procurement participant who has offered the lowest contract price is recognized.

Request for quotations is one of the simplest and most popular procurement methods for both customers and procurement participants, and there are a number of objective reasons for this.

Benefits of requesting a quote for a customer:

short terms of the procurement (the entire procurement procedure, together with the publication of the notice, the formation of the protocol and the signing of the contract, can be carried out in 12-16 working days);
one-piece;
does not require the development of voluminous procurement documentation;
no need to clarify the provisions of the notice;
minimum time spent on consideration of applications (as opposed to tenders, electronic auction and request for proposals);
formation of just one protocol based on the results of determining the supplier (contractor, performer).

Benefits of participation in the request for quotations for the procurement participant:

in the application except detailed information the supplied goods do not need to be attached constituent documents, extract from tax office(Unified State Register of Legal Entities / EGRIP), a decision to approve or conclude a major transaction, etc .;
it is not required to stitch, number the sheets of the application;
you do not need to purchase reinforced equipment from an accredited certification center electronic signature to submit an application in writing;
you do not need to provide security for the application;
do not apply anti-dumping measures if the contract price is reduced by more than 25%.

Talking about the benefits this method definition of the supplier (contractor, performer), do not forget about his disadvantages. In the request for quotations, the main criterion for choosing the winner is the lowest price offer (provided that the procurement participant's application meets the requirements of the notification), no other evaluation criteria are used. Obviously, this is a rather dangerous approach that can lead in practice to the emergence of serious problems at the customer at the stage of fulfillment of obligations under the contract on the part of the supplier (contractor, performer), since a low price is not always a guarantee of delivery of goods proper quality, performance of work and provision of services through the use of quality materials, etc.

The form for submitting a quotation application is determined at the discretion of the procurement participant, but in fact, until the EIS begins to function, customers do not accept applications for a request for quotations in the form of an electronic document, which is most often made an appropriate note in the notice of the procurement.

Note.

The customer is not allowed to require the participant to provide other documents and information, with the exception of the above.

Documents attached to a quotation application can be drawn up as attachments to the application. If copies of documents are provided, they should be properly certified.

This is recommended to avoid opening the envelope earlier. the deadline, for example, the secretary of the customer's organization, who, as a rule, deals with issues of incoming and outgoing correspondence.

Note. It is not necessary to indicate the name of the procurement participant on the envelope with the quotation bid, since participation in the procurement procedure presupposes the inability to view the contents of the bid until the moment of opening. Therefore, it is recommended to observe confidentiality in this matter before the opening of the envelopes with applications by the commission for the procurement of envelopes.

Step 3: the procedure for accepting applications

A quotation application can be sent to the customer's address by post or delivered in person to the address indicated in the notification. It should be borne in mind that if the representative of the procurement participant personally delivers the quotation, then he must have available passport and power of attorney for the right to submit an application on behalf of the procurement participant.

Moreover, in accordance with Part 3 of Art. 77 ФЗ № 44, the application must be registered by the customer in the registration log of applications. Refusal to accept and register an envelope with such an application, which does not indicate information about the person who submitted it, and the requirement to provide this information from the customer is not allowed.

The legislator obliges the customer to ensure the safety of envelopes with submitted applications, their security, inviolability and confidentiality. In addition, the customer is obliged to ensure that applications are considered only after the envelopes with such applications are opened. Persons who store envelopes with quotation bids shall not be entitled to damage these envelopes until they are opened. For such a violation of the requirements, the guilty persons are liable under the law.

According to the general rules, applications for participation in the request for quotations, submitted after the deadline for submission of applications, specified in the notice, are not considered and are returned on the day of their receipt persons who have submitted such applications.

Acceptance of applications is terminated when the deadline for opening the envelopes with applications for participation in the request for quotations.

Step 4: change and withdraw the application

Modify and revoke quotation application the procurement participant is not entitled, unless the customer has made changes to the notice. Thus, if the procurement participant has such a need, one should be guided by the norms established in Part 1 of Art. 77 ФЗ № 44.

Note. If the procurement participant has a need to revoke the application, and the customer did not make changes to the procurement notice, then in this case, you can use the rule specified in Part 4 of Art. 78 of the Federal Law No. 44, according to which, in the event of establishing the fact that one participant in the request for quotations has submitted two or more applications for participation in the request for quotations, provided that such applications submitted earlier by this participant are not withdrawn, all applications to participate in the request for quotations submitted by this participant, are not considered and returned to him.

Step 5: making a purchasing decision and determining a winner

Opening all received envelopes with quotation bids, as well as consideration and evaluation of such applications is carried out in one day.

The Quotation Commission opens envelopes with applications for participation in the request for quotations at the time and place specified in the notice. The procurement participants who submitted bids or their representatives have the right to be present at the opening procedure. In their absence, the autopsy will be carried out as planned.

Immediately before opening envelopes with bids, the Quotation Commission is obliged to announce to the participants in the request for quotations who are present at the opening, about the additional possibility of filing applications. Such an action is aimed at providing an additional chance to participate in the request for quotes to those participants who did not have time to submit applications within the time frame established by the notification.

When opening envelopes with bids, the Quotation Commission announces the following information:

information about the place, date, time of the envelope opening procedure;
name (for a legal entity), last name, first name, patronymic (if any) (for an individual);
the mailing address of each participant in the request for quotations who submitted the application;
proposals for the price of the contract specified in the bids;
other information required by the customer in accordance with the notice of the request for quotations.

When opening envelopes with applications the customer is obliged to make an audio recording of the opening of the envelopes. Any participant in the request for quotations who is present at the opening of the envelopes, also has the right to carry out audio and video recording of the opening of these envelopes.

The winner request for quotations in accordance with Part 6 of Art. 78 Federal Law No. 44, a participant in the request for quotations is recognized who submitted an application that meets all the requirements established in the notification, and in which it is indicated lowest price product, work or service.

If the lowest price of a product, work or service is offered by several participants, then the winner is the participant whose application for participation in the request for quotations was received. previously other bids offering the same price.

All grounds for rejection of quotation bids are defined in Part 7 of Art. 78 ФЗ № 44. The Procurement Commission does not consider and rejects applications if:

applications do not meet the requirements, set in the notification;
price offered in bids product, work or service exceeds NMCK, specified in the notice;
the participant in the request for quotations did not provide documents and information, provided for by Part 3 of Art. 73 FZ No. 44.

Reject applications on other grounds not provided for by law, is prohibited.

Based on the results of consideration and evaluation of applications a protocol is drawn up. The formed protocol of consideration and evaluation of applications is signed by all members of the commission present at the meeting and on the day of its signing, it is placed in the EIS.

Thus, the procurement participant should monitor the results of the request for quotations on the Official website www.zakupki.gov.ru, i.e. follow the placement of the protocol to find out who won the procurement.

Note that according to Part 10 of Art. 78 ФЗ № 44, any participant in the request for quotations who submitted an application for participation, after posting the protocol of consideration and evaluation of applications on the website www.zakupki.gov.ru, has the right to send to the customer in writing or in the form of an electronic document request for clarification of the results consideration and evaluation of applications for participation in the request for quotations. In turn, the customer is obliged to provide the participant who submitted the request with the appropriate explanations in writing or in the form of an electronic document within 2 working days from the date of receipt of the specified request.

According to general rules, the protocol of consideration and evaluation of applications is drawn up in two copies, one of which remains with the customer, the other within 2 working days from the date of signing the protocol is given to the winner request for quotations with the attachment of the draft contract, which is compiled by including the conditions execution of a contract, stipulated by the notice, and the price proposed by the winner in the quotation application.

Step 6: contracting

In accordance with Part 13 of Art. 78 ФЗ № 44 the contract based on the results of the request for quotations can be concluded not earlier than in 7 days from the date of placement in the EIS of the protocol of consideration and evaluation of applications and no later than 20 days from the date of signing the specified protocol.

It is important to understand that a contract in accordance with the provisions of Federal Law No. 44 must be concluded on the conditions stipulated by the notification, at the price proposed in the winner's application request for quotations or in the application for participation in the request for quotations of the participant of the request for quotations with whom the contract is concluded in case of evasion of such a winner from the conclusion of the contract.

If the purchase notice provided for the need to provide ensuring the execution of the contract, then it should be remembered that simultaneously with the signed contract, the procurement winner or the participant with whom the contract is concluded in the event of the winner's evasion, is obliged to provide to the customer a document confirming the security of obligations under the contract. As such a document, in accordance with Part 3 of Art. 96 ФЗ № 44 may act bank guarantee or payment order, confirming deposit Money to the customer's account in the established amount.

If, after the customer has sent the draft contract for signature to the winner of the procurement, the winner has not submitted a signed contract or a document confirming the security of obligations under the contract within the time specified in the notification, then such a winner is recognized evaded contract(part 11 of article 78 of the Federal Law No. 44).

If the winner of the request for quotations is recognized as having evaded the conclusion of the contract, the customer may, at his discretion go to court with a claim for damages, caused by evading a contract, and conclude a contract with a participant request for quotes, offering the same like the winner of the request for quotation, contract price, or in the absence of such a participant with a participant whose contract price offer contains best condition at the contract price following the request for quotations proposed by the winner, if the contract price does not exceed the NMCK specified in the notice of the request for quotations.

If a similar offer follows from the customer to the participants specified above, then conclusion of a contract for them is required. In case of evasion of these participants from the conclusion of the contract the customer has the right to go to court with a claim for damages, caused by evasion of the conclusion of the contract, and re-request for quotations.

At the same time, refusal to conclude a contract for the winner and the procurement participant, who was offered to conclude a contract in the event of the winner's evasion, is fraught with both participants inclusion in the register of unscrupulous information providers how about legal entity so and about individuals(about the founders, members of the collegial executive body), acting on the side of such a procurement participant.

Recognition of the request for quotations invalid

If, based on the results of the procurement, the request for quotations is declared invalid, then in accordance with Part 1 of Art. 79 FZ No. 44 customer signs a contract with sole supplier(contractor, performer) according to clause 25, part 1 of Art. 93 FZ No. 44.

The main cases of recognition of the request for quotations invalid include the following cases:

1) if at the end of the deadline for submission of applications for participation in the request for quotations, only one application, at the same time, such an application was recognized as complying with the requirements of Federal Law No. 44 and the requirements specified in the notification;

2) if, based on the results of consideration of applications for participation in the request for quotations only one application is considered compliant the requirements of Federal Law No. 44 and the requirements specified in the notification.

Thus, in the event that there is a single bid recognized by the procurement commission as meeting the requirements, the conclusion of a contract for both parties is mandatory, despite the status of the procurement “failed request for quotation”.

Also, the request for quotations is recognized as invalid if:

quotation commission all submitted applications were rejected;
no applications submitted for the procurement procedure.

If, based on the results of consideration of quotation bids by the commission, all submitted bids are rejected, then the customer extends the application deadline to participate in the request for quotations for 4 working days and within 1 business day after the expiration date of the period for filing such applications, places in the EIS notice of extension applications.

We hope that, having read this article, a novice participant in the procurement process of the supplier's company (contractor, performer) will be able to properly prepare his first quotation bid, which will meet all the requirements of the current legislation.

In addition, the Unified Center for Public Procurement Consulting recommends that potential procurement participants, for their part, always carefully read the provisions of Federal Law No. 44 in the current edition, which regulate the procedure for conducting and participating in a request for quotations, before preparing an application. Perhaps, any amendments were made to the law in this part, and knowledge of this will help to correctly prepare an application, thereby reducing the risks of its rejection by the procurement commission.
