OREANDA-NEWS. December 18, 2008. The Moscow Arbitration Court dismissed the claim of "Spetsproektstroi" Ltd. and confirmed legitimacy and relevance of the decision of the Federal Antimonopoly Service (FAS Russia) regarding the "Directorate of Integrated Customer" of the Kabardino-Balkaria Republic" State Enterprise for Operational Management of Public Property, reported the press-centre of FAS Russia.

Earlier FAS Russia initiated proceedings against the "Directorate of Integrated Customer" of the Kabardino-Balkaria Republic" State Enterprise for Operational Management of Public Property for violating the Federal Law "On State and Municipal Procurement of Goods, Works and Services".

The case was initiated upon a petition of "Spetsproektstroi" Ltd. The Petitioner stated that the "Directorate of Integrated Customer" had unlawfully rejected the company's bid for participating in the auction for constructing mudslide-and-avalanche protection facilities from the Azau meadow to Terekol settlement.

Having investigated the case, FAS Russia found the complaint ungrounded.

"Spetsproektstroi" Ltd. failed to include in its bid copies of the license for design and survey work, which constitutes legitimate grounds for rejecting the bid.

"Spetsproektstroi" Ltd. filed a claim to the Moscow Arbitration Court. The Court, however, confirmed the rightness of the position of the Antimonopoly Service regarding the "Directorate of Integrated Customer" of the Kabardino-Balkaria Republic".
