OREANDA-NEWS. On April 20, 2007 the Federal Antimonopoly Service (FAS Russia) sustained a complaint of "OKB "Spektr" CJSC against the actions undertaken by the Tender Commission of MChS Russia in an open bidding for a state contract on equipment supply, reported the press-centre of  FAS Russia.
According to the claimant, the Tender Commission unreasonably rejected the bid of "OKB "Spektr" CJSC on the grounds that the bid did not meet the requirements specified in the tender documentation.
FAS Russia established, however, that the tender documentation did not contain mandatory requirements to the goods quality and technical specification, which did not allow matching the supplied equipment with the tender documentation requirements. Therefore, it constituted a breach of Part 3 Article 22 of the Federal Law "On State and Municipal Procurement of Goods, Works and Services".
As a result, FAS Russia found that the complaint of "OKB "Spektr" CJSC against the actions undertaken by the MChS Russia Tender Commission in an open bidding was justified, and proposed that the ordering party should reconsider the bids in accordance with the Federal Law "On Procurement…".
