PRACTICAL IMPLEMENTATION OF THE LEGISLATION NORMS OF COOPERATIVE PROCUREMENT IN THE RYAZAN REGION

In order to increase the efficiency of state procurement, the cooperative procurement has been recently activity implemented. Such type of procurement is carefully considered in a separate article of the Federal Law No. 44-FZ “On Contract systems in the sphere of procurement of goods, services and works for provisioning governmental and municipal needs”, dated 05.04.2013. According to art. 25 of the Law, competitive tenders and auctions are conducted in case two or more customers’ demand for identical goods, services and works. However, The Unified Procurement Information System is daily flooded by a great number of customers’ notices of procurement for similar (identical) products and mass-production goods. In addition, in contrast to “individual” procurement, cooperative procurement is characterized by a larger scope of purchased goods, services and works, and, correspondently, higher value. This encourages competition and allows to involve more producers and major suppliers to the procurement, as possible risks of improper performance of contract obligations are minimized. The current legislation on the contact systems does not put any constraints on the nomenclature of goods, services and works purchased in cooperative tenders and the initial (maximum) price of the contract concluded on the final results of cooperative activities. The principles of organizing cooperative tenders and auctions make it possible to considerably reduce the administrative burden on the customers and finally ensure substantial budget savings. However, high economic efficiency is hindered by considerable expenses, connected with organizing procurement. In this view, trading strategies, implemented in the Ryazan region, definitely deserve careful attention. These strategies are aimed at reducing time, labour and financial expenditures, at conducting cooperative tenders and auctions by means of digitizing. The present article provides description and results of applying trading strategies in the Ryazan region. The method, described in the article, is currently important and can be successfully implemented in other subjects of the Russian Federation while setting a new course for improving cooperative procurement.
