OREANDA-NEWS. January 28, 2007. The Federal Antimonopoly Service (FAS Russia) recognized that the United Commission of the Federal Agency for Water Resources violated Part 10 Article 28 of the Federal law "On Procurement of State and Municipal Goods, Works and Services", reported the press-centre of FAS Russia.

The case against the Commission was initiated upon complaints of "MEDTEKHNOSTROI" Ltd. and "Chisty Mir Company" Ltd. against the action undertaken by the Commission in the following open biddings "Performing services on operating the boiler house, the heating system, hot-water supply, cold-water supply, sewage and plumber equipment, the ventilation system and air conditioners, electric mains, lighting equipment, and electrical control units inside the Federal Agency's building in 2008", "Performing services on operating the communication center (the automatic telephone station), the cable communication network, telephone sets and fax machines, and supporting events and conferences organized in the conference hall and the meeting room in 2008" and "Performing services on operating the intruder and fire alarms systems, the automated fire-extinguishing unit, and the systems of television, video surveillance, 3-programme broadcasting, transmission and location, and the structured cabling system in 2008".

FAS Russia established that the tender documentation did not specify the procedures for allocating the scores on each of the criteria, which violated Part что 7 Article 65 of the state procurement law. Moreover, the bids evaluation and comparison protocol did not describe the procedures for bids evaluation and comparison, and does not give information on decision made by each member of the Commission on allocating the scores to the bids under each of the required criteria. Therefore, it violated Part 10 Article 28 of the state procurement law.

As the ordering party had already signed the government contract, FAS Russia did not issue a relevant determination to eliminate the violations. Petitioners can appeal the procurement outcome to a court of law.
