On April 6, 2021, the Department of the Federal Antimonopoly Service (FAS) in the Republic of Bashkortostan announced the participation of the regional Ministry of Health in collusion in the procurement of light ventilation devices (IVL).
According to the supervisory authority, the state institution and commercial enterprise (LLC Technical info"") entered into an illegal agreement when purchasing four IVL devices for the Republican Children's Clinical Hospital and the City Children's Clinical Hospital No. 17 of Ufa. The purchase cost amounted to 10.4 million rubles with a price of one piece of equipment of 2.6 million rubles.
According to the FAS, during the execution of the contract, IVL devices for adults and children were delivered directly from the manufacturer's factory, through two intermediaries, as a result of which the price for the devices under the contract exceeded the manufacturer's price by 180%.
According to Kommersant, Tehinfo delivered to the region four Aventa M devices produced by Ural Instrument-Making Plant JSC. At the same time, as noted in the decision of the OFAS, the manufacturer in May 2018 sold these devices to a certain company - the department does not disclose its name - for 3.7 million rubles. And in November of the same year, this company asked the plant to ship the equipment to Ufa, indicating the number of the state order on the marking, and the logistics management of the Ministry of Health of Bashkiria as a customer and Tekhinto as a supplier. At the plant, according to the OFAS, the price of the Aventa M apparatus was determined at an average of 1.6 million rubles.
The Ministry of Health of Bashkiria believes that the reason for the 180 percent mark-up on IVL devices, which was reported by the Department of the Federal Antimonopoly Service in the region, was the variation in prices in 2018.
According to SPARK-Interfax, LLC Tehinfo, registered in St. Petersburg, is in liquidation by April 2021.[1]
