Violations in public procurement of the Novosibirsk region. Identification of violations by the Chamber of Control and Accounts. Types of violations. A responsibility. Risks, losses.
Violations worth about a billion rubles were revealed in public procurements in the Novosibirsk Region, reports Continent Siberia.
The Chamber of Control and Accounts of the Novosibirsk Region summed up the audit of public procurements made in the region last year, revealing more than 200 violations and shortcomings worth more than 800 million rubles. Most of which are violations in determining the maximum price of the contract, poor and improper performance of work, did not publish information on the execution and payment of contracts, failure to present a penalty for the timely execution of contracts.
Violations in acquisition and construction, including in the implementation of national projects, remain a serious problem. For example, work actually begins before the signing of the contract, there are facts of acceptance and payment for equipment not installed, there are still cases of overstating the initial price of contracts.
In addition, experts of the Chamber of Control and Accounts pointed to violations in the acquisition of housing for various categories of citizens, in procurement in the field of information and communication technologies, and traditional cases of "split" purchases. As the last example, the experts cited the applications of the regional Ministry of Labor. In 2019, the maximum amount of purchases from one supplier was increased to 300 thousand rubles, in 2020 to 600 thousand rubles. However, this measure did not lead to the end of the "separation" of purchases. Now large contracts are divided into amounts up to 600 thousand rubles. At the same time, the auditors point out that the antimonopoly authorities, in most cases, do not consider the "separation" of purchases an offense.
Vitaly Vetrov, managing partner of the law firm Vetrov and Partners, will comment on the identification of violations in public procurement.
The described situation is usual for any region. In some cases, they are the basis for contesting the results of tenders and concluded contracts, in other cases, the basis for holding accountable for the existence of anticompetitive agreements. But regardless of this, violations are always risks that lead or can lead to losses in business and reduce its profitability. And here is the question. How consciously the business itself understands the existing risks, whether it manages them qualitatively.
