2017: Reorganization

In November 2017, the capital's mayor's office transformed the state unitary enterprise "NIiPI of the General Plan of Moscow" from a unitary enterprise into a state autonomous institution. This follows from the publicly available data on the institute in the Unified State Register of Legal Entities (USRUL).

The legal address of the institute has not changed: 2nd Brestskaya St., d. 2/14. Oksana Garmash, appointed in September last year, remained the director. The new official short name was "GAU" Institute of the General Plan of Moscow. "

The main goal of the reorganization is that the Moscow mayor's office will be able to transfer a significant part of the orders to the institute without conducting the necessary competitive procedures. One of the developers of the capital's general plan told RBC about this on condition of anonymity. According to him, participation in tenders turned into financial losses for NIiPI. Allegedly, the institute "often had to reduce the cost of work when other participants began to dump."
