Fuel and Energy Complex-Torg: Justification of NMTs for customers under 223-FZ

2021: Launch of the service "Justification of NMTs"

On April 22, 2021, the operator of the federal electronic platform of TEK-Torg JSC announced the launch of a service to justify the initial maximum price for customers under 223-FZ. The online service "Substantiation of the NMC" is designed to facilitate the work of the organizers in preparation for procurement: it will quickly find reliable price information, automate the process of substantiating the NMC, reduce the time costs of the organizer for the procurement. The service is available for procurement organizers in the section "223-FZ and Commercial Procurement."

From April 16, 2021, with the entry into force of 86-FZ from 05.04.2021, it became mandatory for all companies operating under 223-FZ to justify the initial maximum price of the contract. Customers were given 90 days to make additions to the procurement provisions and clarify the procedure for substantiating the NMC. The customer has the right to determine the methods of justification of the NMC independently. The introduced working conditions required additional labor costs, because due to the lack of an up-to-date electronic NMC calculation tool for 223-FZ on the market, customers were forced to justify the initial maximum price in manual mode using e-mail. This increased the risk of error and made it possible to manipulate the price level.

The launch of the online service "Justification of NMC" in the section "223-FZ and Commercial Procurement" at the TEK-Torg ETP is the first step in automating the calculation of NMC. The service allows you to justify the initial maximum price in electronic form, analyze the market, select prices for the purchased item based on similar purchases already carried out, and collect commercial offers. Such capabilities ensure transparency and openness of the process of substantiating the NMC to the supervisory authorities, increase the efficiency of the procurement process, and allow to obtain market values ​ ​ of prices. The implementation of search algorithms throughout the database of the Unified Information System in the field of procurement makes it possible to select purchases of similar goods that can be used by the customer to substantiate the announced procurement.

The Personal Service Room interface allows you to generate requests. The user sets the item name in the search string, and the service selects the relevant contracts with the item within one second. The user can then specify the required quantity and unit of measure, if necessary, filter by QPC2 code, contract date, region, and price group. As part of the task, you can justify both one item and a list of several items. The list is compiled manually or loaded from an Excel file. The finished justification is uploaded in MS Excel or MS Word format.

One of the priority activities of TEK-Torg JSC is the development and implementation of electronic tools in the everyday practice of buyers, "comments Dmitry Sytin, General Director of TEK-Torg JSC. - Our goal is to save procurement specialists from routine processes, digitize and automate their key tasks. The electronic service for the justification of NMTs for 223-FZ is a tool demanded by the market. We start with basic functionality so that customers can avoid time-consuming processes when meeting the requirements of the legislation to justify the initial maximum price. The solution will be developed and in the near future will be supplemented with additional tools for market analysis, which will significantly increase the efficiency of the procurement departments of our customers,

In the next stage, tools will be introduced to determine the initial maximum price of goods by aggregating up-to-date data on the cost of goods, works, services received from suppliers, or based on information from the concluded customer contracts. The creation of a base of relevant prices will be carried out on the basis of several sources: customer purchases for ETP, customer contracts for the previous year, fuel and energy store, EIS.
