The supplier sued the Tyumen authorities for 961 million rubles for the slow adoption of MRI scanners

In early February 2022, the Arbitration Court of the Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug (Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug) recovered 387.4 million rubles from the Capital Construction Department (UKS) of the Tyumen Region in favor of Delrus-DVRC for the supply of medical equipment (MRI scanners and endoscopic complexes) for an unfinished hospital in Nizhnevartovsk. In addition, court expenses in the amount of 206 thousand rubles were recovered from the department.

As follows from the court decision published in the arbitration file cabinet, the company from Vladivostok "Delrus-DVRC" demanded that the UKS accept two Signa tomographs and pay for their supply. The third person was the Nizhnevartovsk District Clinical Hospital. Delivery expired in the summer of 2021, but then the hospital was not ready to accept the equipment.

The supplier sued the Tyumen authorities for 961 million rubles for the slow adoption of MRI scanners

In June 2021, the UKS refused to accept the equipment purchased and prepared for delivery by the distributor under the pretext of disrupting the terms of contract work for the construction of the clinic building. The companies applied to UCS for acceptance of the equipment and amendments to the contracts to adjust the terms of their execution, but were refused both in the acceptance of the equipment and in the conclusion of additional agreements.

Then Delrus filed a lawsuit against the UKS in the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug Arbitration Court. At the end of December 2021 and in February 2022, the court ruled on two claims, satisfying the company's claims in one case completely, in the other - partially. The court ordered the Capital Construction Department (UKS) of the Tyumen Region to accept the supplied equipment and pay for contracts totaling 961 million rubles.

By February 2022, the Nizhnevartovsk Central District Hospital with 1,100 seats has been under construction for more than 11 years, including at the expense of the Tyumen Region budget under the Cooperation program. It is planned to put the new medical facility into operation in the second quarter of 2022.^[1][2]
