In this case, approval of the conclusion of a contract with a single supplier (contractor, performer) with the control body in the field of procurement is not required.

What to do if the auction did not take place

Important

The only application is the procedure Laws on electronic trading FZ-44 and FZ-223 are constantly supplemented and coordinated with others regulations. In 2014, additional amendments were adopted to No. 498-FZ and Art. 25 No. 44-FZ, within the framework of which the issue of the terms of the failed auction was considered in more detail. The grounds are determined by Art. 71, parts 1-3.1 No. 44-FZ.

Provided that the work of the site was under consideration single application to participate in the auction, she is considered the winner. The key feature of declaring an auction invalid for this reason is the admission of only one participant to participate in it. The customer may enter into a contract agreement with a single participant.

The conditions under which a contract can be signed should be taken into account. This is possible only with that participant (Article 70 of Federal Law-44) whose application fully meets the requirements.

What to do if the purchase did not take place

If in the future a repeat competition does not take place for the same reasons (Part 2 of Article 55), then the customer has the right to carry out the procedure by requesting proposals in order to reduce the deadline for submitting applications to 5 working days or in another way at the discretion of the customer. If the procurement does not take place, the sole supplier enters into a contract if its application meets the requirements of the law and documentation. In this case, the customer must obtain approval from the FAS (clause 25, part 1, article 93). This group will not include the case when, based on the results of the prequalification selection of a two-stage competition, only one participant is recognized as meeting the requirements (Part 10, Article 57). The customer makes the purchase again, due to the fact that it is not possible to discuss the characteristics of the order object with several suppliers.

Author: Cherdantseva Tatyana October 20, 2017 44-FZ provides not only for competitive bidding for price reductions, but also for cases when the order is declared invalid. We will analyze the grounds for recognizing a public procurement as failed, the consequences, as well as the actions of the customer in such a situation. Grounds for recognizing a purchase as failed In most cases, when the phrase “the purchase did not take place” is announced, participants have the impression that either there are no proposals for the tender, or all applications for participation in it have been rejected.
However, there are many more cases where a purchase is declared unsuccessful. Consider this for different stages procedures. All bases are collected in the table. Submission of applications Review Conclusion of contract 1. There are no proposals.
2. Only one application has been submitted.

Contact E-mail: This site was created to help Customers working in different institutions, but who are united by one thing - No. 44-FZ and No. 223-FZ... After all, since the entry into force of Federal Law No. 44-FZ of 04/05/2013 “On the contract system in the field of procurement of goods, works, services to meet state and municipal needs” has already arisen and accumulated among most people working in the field of procurement. a large number of questions to which they would like to receive an answer. So the site www.help-tend.ru provides them with this opportunity. All your questions can be easily asked, or you can already find the answer on our website.

Any failed procedure Procurement is another headache for the contract manager. It’s no secret how much time and effort it takes to prepare technical specifications, draw up auction documentation, publication on the website, agonizing wait for submitted applications. But, even if applications have been submitted, the auction may still not take place.

What about others?

Statistics show that rejection of applications for the first parts most often occurs during procurement for the supply of goods and performance of work. Namely, the characteristics of the goods supplied (or used in the performance of work) do not correspond to the parameters specified in the technical specifications.

As a rule, applications for the second parts are rejected when purchasing services. Because The main package of documentation from the procurement participant is contained in the second part of the application, and in the first part, only consent to participate in the electronic auction on the conditions stipulated by the auction documentation is sufficient.

3. No one came to bargain. And this happens too - applications have been submitted, the first parts of applications have been reviewed and allowed to participate in the electronic auction. Everyone is waiting for the auction to begin. But at the desired hour, not a single price offer is received. Alas and ah.

The customer can endlessly wonder “How? Why? Have you forgotten about us? This situation turns out to be advantageous for the procurement participant who first submitted an application to participate in the auction. In this case, the principle “who gets up first, gets the slippers” applies.

The operator of the electronic platform sends to the customer both parts of the applications of all participating participants. The customer reviews them and makes a decision on whether these applications comply with the requirements of the auction documentation. The contract is concluded with the participant who submitted an application that meets the requirements of the auction documentation earlier than others. After the publication of the protocol for consideration of applications, the auction moves to the stage of concluding a contract.

4. The auction did not take place at all. If not a single application was submitted to participate in the electronic auction or all submitted applications do not meet the documentation requirements, the auction will also be declared invalid.

The law states that in this case, the customer makes changes to the schedule and carries out this purchase, but through a request for proposals, or carries out a new purchase. If the customer chooses the first option, then changing the procurement object is unacceptable. A new purchasing item must be created in the schedule by requesting proposals. The procurement object remains the same; the procurement period is subject to mandatory changes.

The customer changed his mind.

If there is no longer a need for this purchase, then the Customer makes changes to the schedule (purchase plan) and carries out a new purchase: perhaps not spent cash the customer will decide to use it for other purposes.

Ten days under PGZ were canceled, but not for everyone.

Whichever of these two paths the Customer chooses, he will still have to wait 10 days after making changes to the PPZ before publishing the notice. But before making changes to the documentation, it is necessary to analyze what is written in the auction, since no one wanted to participate in it.

The reasons can be completely different - the initial (maximum) price of the contract is underestimated, it is not drawn up correctly technical task, the contract execution period is critically short, or a potential participant in placing an order simply missed your auction in the entire flow of information on the electronic platform. Whatever the reasons, the funds will still have to be used and the purchase must be carried out by the customer.

There will still be a contract.

In the first three cases, a failed auction will still lead the customer to conclude a contract in accordance with clause 25.1, part 1 of Art. 93 Federal Law No. 44-FZ.

In this case, the price of the contract should not be higher than the initial (maximum) price, and the terms of its conclusion are regulated by Art. 83.2 Federal Law No. 44-FZ.

As part of the request for proposals after failed auction It is, however, prohibited to change the procurement object (however, it is formally possible, but not recommended, to change its cost, as well as the deadlines for execution). The notice to the Unified Information System must be submitted by the customer no later than 5 days (calendar) before the day of the request for proposals. At the same time, according to 44-FZ, the customer has the right to independently send invitations to participate in the procurement process to those persons who, in his opinion, are capable of fulfilling the terms of the contract. However, these persons in this case must be indispensable counterparties of the customer for at least 18 months before the date of request for similar supplies. The auction did not take place if all applications were rejected at the stage of consideration of the first parts. In theory, this is hardly possible, but in reality, anything can happen in electronic trading. Accordingly, in this case the previous paragraph on the request for proposals is applicable.

If the electronic auction is declared invalid

Attention

The only application is the procedure for action. The laws on electronic trading FZ-44 and FZ-223 are constantly supplemented and coordinated with other regulations. In 2014, additional amendments were adopted to No. 498-FZ and Art. 25 No. 44-FZ, within the framework of which the issue of the terms of the failed auction was considered in more detail. The grounds are determined by Art. 71, parts 1-3.1 No. 44-FZ.

Provided that the only application for participation in the auction was under consideration at the site, it is considered to be the winning one. The key feature of declaring an auction invalid for this reason is the admission of only one participant to participate in it. The customer may enter into a contract agreement with a single participant.
The conditions under which a contract can be signed should be taken into account. This is possible only with that participant (Article 70 of Federal Law-44) whose application fully meets the requirements.
This document should reflect the following information:

• Title of the document;
• place, time and date of its preparation;
• list of members of the auction commission;
• name of the failed auction;
• information about the customer;
• auction object;
• the reason for declaring the auction invalid;
• information about the site where the protocol will be placed.

So, Art. 71 of Law No. 44 defines 5 possible situations in which the auction is declared invalid. The same article defines the order of actions that the customer must take after the event receives the specified status.
Federal Law “On the privatization of state and municipal property” (as amended and supplemented) if the auction for the sale of state or municipal property is declared invalid, then the sale of the specified property is carried out through a public offer. If the auction does not take place, the sole auction participant, no later than twenty days after the day of the auction, has the right to conclude a purchase and sale agreement or a lease agreement for the auctioned item. land plot, and the organ state power or the local government body, by whose decision the auction was held, is obliged to conclude an agreement with the only auction participant at the starting price of the auction.

The auction was declared invalid; one application was submitted under Federal Law 44

Based on the above, concluding an agreement with a single participant failed trades does not comply with the requirements of civil law, and also contradicts the essence of the auction itself. In addition, in accordance with established judicial practice, submitting an application to participate in the auction does not mean concluding an agreement with the auction organizer by accepting a public offer. A contract is a two- or multilateral transaction that implies the emergence of rights and obligations for all its parties.

If we assume that the notice of the auction organizer is an offer to conclude an agreement with the subject of the auction, then the application of a potential participant should indeed be considered acceptance. But the bidder does not bear any obligations to conduct the auction, since providing the required documents and making a deposit are his rights, but not his obligations.

Failed electronic auction. Failed auction in electronic form.

• The concept of “failed electronic auction” means the absence of bidding when placing a specific order. In this case, it is not at all necessary to imply that the contract (for this order) will not be concluded. For example, only 1 URZ showed up for the auction, it turns out that there will be no bidding, this URZ will not play with itself at the auction. It turns out. That the electronic auction (UAEF) was declared invalid, and the state. the contract will be concluded with this (the only one that applied) RZ.

A list of situations in which electronic auctions are declared invalid, but government contracts are still concluded.

• Only 1 URZ submitted an application (see above).

• Only 1 URZ was admitted to the UAEF. His application was found compliant, the rest were rejected.

• Several URZs were admitted, but none of the URZs made bids at the auction. In this case, the winner is the URZ who submitted his application before everyone else. A contract is concluded with him.

Consequences of declaring an electronic auction invalid.

• There is one participant.

• Concluding a contract with this participant.

• No participants or applications.

• Repeated auction.

• Replacement of an order.

Cases of declaring an electronic auction invalid.

• No applications.

• All applications (all URZ) were rejected.

• 1 participant allowed.

• There were no offers during the bidding.

• If only 1 (one) participant is admitted to the auction, a contract is concluded with him.

• If several RRPs are admitted to the auction at once, but no one has made “moves,” the contract is concluded with the RRP that submitted its bid before everyone else.

• If there were no applications or all applications were rejected, but the order is processed again.

Repeated auction in electronic form.

• Implies a procedure for re-placing an order if the initial auction is declared invalid, and there is no one to conclude a contract with.

• Rules and actions when re-auction- the same as with the original one.

Bidding for each exhibited item of bidding is considered invalid if:

a) less than two participants participated in the auction;

b) none of the bidders during an auction open according to the form for submitting proposals for the price or the amount of rent, after three times announcing the starting price or the initial amount of rent, raised a ticket;

c) none of the bidders during a competition or auction closed according to the form for submitting proposals on the price or amount of rent, in accordance with the decision of the auction organizer, was recognized as the winner;

d) the winner of the auction avoided signing the protocol on the results of the auction, concluding a purchase and sale agreement or renting a land plot.

The auction organizer is obliged, within three banking days from the date of signing the protocol on the results of the auction, to return the deposit made by the participants in the failed auction. The deposit made by the winning bidder will not be returned to him. If the auction is declared invalid, the auction organizer has the right to announce re-execution bidding However, their terms and conditions may be changed. The auction organizer can reduce the starting price of a land plot or the initial rental amount and reduce the “auction step” by no more than 15 percent without re-valuation. If the auction organizer is a specialized organization, the terms of the competition, the starting price or the initial amount of rent, the “auction step” may be changed in the manner established for their approval.

As for state and municipal property, the requirements of the law apply here - Part 1 of Article 23 of the Federal Law of December 21, 2001 No. 178-FZ “On the privatization of state and municipal property” (with amendments and additions) if the auction for the sale state or municipal property is declared invalid, then the said property is sold through a public offer.

If the auction does not take place, the only participant in the auction, no later than twenty days after the day of the auction, has the right to conclude a purchase and sale agreement or a lease agreement for the land plot put up for auction, and the state authority or local government body, by whose decision the auction was held, is obliged to conclude an agreement with a single auction participant at the starting auction price.

Information about the auction results is published by the auction organizer within three days from the date of signing the protocol on the auction results in periodicals in which the auction was reported, and is posted on the official website of the Russian Federation on the Internet.

It is not allowed to conclude an agreement based on the results of the auction or in the event that the auction is declared invalid due to the participation of less than two people in the auction, earlier than ten days from the date of posting information about the results of the auction on the official website of the Russian Federation on the Internet.

Since, if the auction is declared invalid, the winner of such auction is not determined, the conclusion of an agreement with the only participant in the failed auction is contrary to the requirement of Part 1 of Art. 447 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, due to the fact that such a participant is not the person who won the auction, i.e. the person who received the right to conclude the contract that was the subject of these auctions.

Based on the foregoing, the conclusion of an agreement with the only participant in the failed auction does not comply with the requirements of civil law, and also contradicts the essence of the auction itself. In addition, in accordance with established judicial practice, submitting an application to participate in the auction does not mean concluding an agreement with the auction organizer by accepting a public offer.

A contract is a two- or multilateral transaction that implies the emergence of rights and obligations for all its parties.

If we assume that the notice of the auction organizer is an offer to conclude an agreement with the subject of the auction, then the application of a potential participant should indeed be considered acceptance. But the bidder does not bear any obligations to conduct the auction, since providing the required documents and making a deposit are his rights, but not his obligations. By these actions he only exercises his right to participate in the auction. The applicant who has submitted an application and paid the deposit cannot be forced to participate in the auction itself and has the right to refuse to participate in the auction at any time.

In addition, in accordance with Article 438 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, acceptance must be complete and unconditional. Consequently, if the response contains additional or different conditions from the offer, then it cannot be recognized as acceptance.

Thus, in order for a participant’s application to be recognized as acceptance, it must contain conditions identical to those specified in the tender notice, i.e. The contract price proposed in the participant’s application must completely coincide with the contract price (minimum or maximum) specified in the notice. Otherwise, recognition of such an application as acceptance will be contrary to civil law.

If such a contract for the sale and purchase of state or municipal property is concluded based on the results of a failed auction, the official may be brought to criminal liability on the grounds of a crime under Art. 286 “Exceeding official powers” ​​or Art. 293 “Negligence” of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.
