2013: The structures of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Defense quarreled over the bill for the IT project

At the end of August 2013, the NPO Spetstekhnika and Svyaz of the Ministry of Internal Affairs will try to challenge the decision of the court, which ordered the organization to return part of the amount paid to it by the Central Research Institute of the Ministry of Defense for work as part of a project to create a state system for automated control of the movement of nuclear materials and radioactive substances in Russia.

By order of the Central Research Institute of the Ministry of Defense, NPO Spetstekhnika and Svyaz carried out an integral part of the work on creating a project for this system. As follows from the court documents in the case, according to the agreement concluded between the organizations, the Central Research Institute was supposed to pay the contractor an amount of about 7.6 million rubles. for work when documenting the amount of actual costs.

The terms of the contract also included an advance payment to the contractor for the work in the amount of 80% of the agreed estimated contract price. In accordance with them, the Central Research Institute transferred an advance payment of 6.08 million rubles to NPO Spetstekhnika and Svyaz.

After the work acceptance certificate was signed, NPO Spetstekhnika and Svyaz turned to the Central Research Institute with a request to pay for the work performed within the contract price for a total amount of about 7.12 million rubles. and at the same time documented the amount of actual costs. After payment from the customer did not follow, NPO "Spetstekhnika and Svyaz" tried to recover it through the court.

In court, representatives of the Central Research Institute of the Ministry of Defense said that the initial protocol for agreeing on a price of about 7.6 million rubles, on the basis of which the contractor demanded payment, was not agreed with the "4984 military representative office" of their department, and therefore is invalid.

According to them, subsequently this representative office checked the actual costs of work under the contract and, following the results of the audit, agreed on a price protocol for a lower amount - about 3.85 million rubles. In this regard, the Central Research Institute of the Ministry of Defense filed a counterclaim against the NGO Spetstekhnika and Svyaz demanding the return of the amount overpaid in advance of about 2.22 million rubles.

"Under such circumstances, as seen from the materials of the case, the actual cost of the work performed by the plaintiff under the contract amounted to 3.85 million rubles," the court decided and did not find legal grounds to satisfy the claims filed by the NGO Spetstekhnika and Svyaz.
