Special conditions for the execution of public procurement contracts approved for mobilized entrepreneurs
On October 15, 2022, Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin signed Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 1838
The essential terms of contracts to meet federal needs - the terms, price, types and volumes of work (services) can be changed if the suppliers for them are companies whose employees are called up for service as part of partial mobilization. The decision will also affect mobilized individual entrepreneurs. The innovation applies to all contracts that will be concluded before the end of 2023.
Similar changes were recommended by the Government to be adopted by regional and local authorities regarding contracts to meet state and municipal needs.
If, due to mobilization, the company or individual entrepreneur cannot ensure the timely execution of the contract, the penalties that they would have to pay will be written off. In addition, such business representatives will not be included in the register of unscrupulous suppliers.
The signed resolution is part of a plan of priority measures to ensure the work of the Russian economy in conditions of partial mobilization. Mikhail Mishustin announced his approval on October 10 as part of an operational meeting with deputy prime ministers.
The signed document amends the Government Decree of December 25, 2018 No. 1663.
