On May 15, 2024, the Treasury Support Center Russia summed up the auction for the supply of goods in order to develop a single cloud infrastructure.

In total, 6 companies participated in the tender, the fall in the initial price at the auction was 17%. At the same time, half of the applications were rejected due to non-compliance with the requirements of Art. 14 No. 44-FZ on the application of the national regime in procurement, follows from the protocol for summing up the results of the determination of the supplier. The refusal of the procurement commission was dictated by the fact that three out of six auction participants offered to supply "iron," which does not correspond to the parameters of a single register entry of the current register of equipment of domestic production of the Ministry of Industry and Trade.

Based on paragraph 5 of Part 1 of Art. 43, due to the absence of information and documents provided for in the PP-878 from the 10.07.2019 in the application for participation in the purchase, such an application is equal to the one that contains a proposal for the supply of imported goods. PP-878, which establishes a restriction on the admission in public procurement of radio electronic products of foreign origin (with the exception of the EAEU countries), also provides for the use by customers who carry out purchases in accordance with the 44-FZ of the "second extra" mechanism. This means that if there is at least one Russian manufacturer participating in the procurement, all foreign manufacturers are excluded from the procurement participants. Since the Treasury auction was attended by companies that pledged to supply "register" equipment with the characteristics specified in the terms of reference, such applications were rejected.

The Treasury is surprised to note this behavior of some market participants.

The purchased goods are not unique and at the moment in the register of the Ministry of Industry and Trade you can find several entries that contain the required characteristics of the purchased equipment. In the context of the transition of our country to import independence, attempts to enter the tender with "imported" goods in the hope that no one will come with the domestic one are a short-sighted policy of doing the company's business, commented TAdviser on the results of determining the supplier in the Federal Treasury.
