OREANDA-NEWS.  September 14, 2012. “From 1st October 2012, all information about competitive bidding will be placed on a single portal zakupki.gov.ru”, said the Head of FAS Department for Control over Housing & Utilities, Construction and Natural Resources, Vadim Solovyov speaking at the Russia – EC Round Table on “Compliance with Competition Conditions Granting State Aid in Russia and the EC” , reported the press-centre of FAS Russia. 

In his report “A New Transparent Approach to Allocating State Property”, Vadim Solovyov talked about No.223-FZ Federal Law “On Procurement of Goods, Works and Services by Certain Types of Legal Entities” that had come into force. The Law establishes the general principles of procurement for state-run companies, holders of natural monopolies and regulated organizations.

Today FAS undertakes efforts to refine zakupki.gov.ru, keep the Register of unfair suppliers, and an “electronic” list (the list of procurement that will only take place in the electronic form), introduce sanctions to the Code on Administrative Violations and determine the complaints procedures.

The Head of the specialized Department of FAS Russia pointed out: “We have devised and submitted for consideration amendments to the Code on Administrative Violations that establish liability for violating the rules of competitive bidding in the form of administrative fines”.

“Now it is necessary to ensure unified procedures of electronic auctions for providing state property, land and natural resources, and introduce procedures of administrative appeals regarding the actions of the authorities exercising permissive – conciliation powers in construction and land relations”, summed up Vadim Solovyov.
