Ministry of Economy submitted a report on the results of monitoring of procurement of goods and services to state companies in the first half of 2016.

Ministry of Economic Development presented a report on the results of monitoring of procurement of goods and services to state companies in the first half of 2016. More than 96% of purchases made on a non-competitive basis, and the number of ways to determine the supplier has increased to 3800. Purchases from small and medium-sized businesses are adjusted to the implementation of the quota.
The monitoring results for the first half terrifying. Ministry of Economic Development showed that state-owned companies are evading the law and Government regulations. As a result, less than 4% of purchases from state-owned companies are competitive. And more than half - 51% are made from a single supplier.
The most interesting is the situation with the procurement from small and medium-sized businesses. To perform a 18% quota of the state company signed multibillion-dollar contracts on a noncompetitive basis in fact for tender procedures limit - no more than 200 million rubles. A procurement costs, as a result, many times higher than revenues, with which the company can be considered as SMEs. For example, "Gazprom" signed a contract with the sole supplier of the number of small and medium-sized businesses RDI NG "PETON" worth more than 50.3 billion rubles. And most interesting is that the Federal Law "On the development of small and medium enterprises in the Russian Federation" 209-FZ "PETON" can really be considered SMEs. Article 4 regulates that the subject of the status could change if the third consecutive year the company's revenue will be higher than the limit value. Accordingly, the state-owned paper carries 18% of the quota and the real small and medium business is again not an inheritance.
As a result, we have a vicious circle: the Ministry of Economic Development makes the laws, and state-owned companies are looking for ways to circumvent them. Out of this situation, only one - the tightening of the procurement law. Online agencies have presented some amendments to the 223-FZ. It is proposed to allow the Corporation to small and medium-sized businesses to complain to the Federal Antimonopoly Service for violations at the auction, and if state-owned companies do not come to the limit of purchases from SMEs or publish false information about them, their end of the year will be partially transferred under the law on public procurement 44-FZ.
