According to Kommersant, the largest state-owned companies intend to seek clarification from the government regarding the White House directives on anti-sanctions measures and the transfer of their competitive procurement to the “automated system of bidding for state defense orders” (AST GOZ), the same name as the electronic trading platform (ETP) of Sberbank. State-owned companies doubt its feasibility. Participants in the government procurement market do not understand what procurement procedures are limited new order, and oppose the monopolization of “secret” procurement.

Questions from state-owned companies and ETP operators, where legal entities with state participation place purchases within the framework of Law 223-FZ, were raised by a directive approved by First Deputy Prime Minister Igor Shuvalov on November 24 (see Kommersant on December 8). The document refers to the list of state-owned joint-stock companies approved by government decree No. 91-r dated January 23, 2003 (it includes Gazprom, Rosneft, Russian Railways, Rosseti, Rostelecom, etc.). However, in the annex to the directive (or its draft), which was at the disposal of Kommersant, a different list of 126 companies is indicated - of which only four are included in the 91-r list. Presumably, “list 126” is a list of legal entities whose transactions with state-owned companies should be anonymized, but there is no mechanism for calculating such transactions.

According to market participants, the instructions themselves are even more vaguely formulated. State Autonomous Okrug (from the list of order No. 91-r) must approve the possibility of non-disclosure of information about individual transactions within the framework of Federal Law-223 (counterparties will participate in them under numbers) and transfer all “competitive purchases” to the “automated state defense order bidding system.” This name coincides with the name of the Sberbank site - Automated System of State Defense Order Bidding LLC (AST GOZ), but the legal entity itself is not specified in the directive. Whether the order means that all currently open procurements should now be carried out in closed procedures, and whether sites selected by customers have the right to place them, remains unclear either to the customers themselves or to the ETP operators. The directive also does not contain any deadlines for its implementation by the boards of directors of state-owned joint stock companies. Amendments to the legislation regulating closed procurement in cases approved by the State Duma on December 6, adopted in the first reading, do not add clarity either. federal law or the government - they must undergo a special ETP, for the selection of which special requirements must be approved, but the law has yet to be adopted.

According to Kommersant, state-owned companies have already tried to unofficially obtain clarification of the directive from the FAS and the Ministry of Finance, but have not received a response. Therefore, they intend to jointly appeal to the government, including with a proposal to enable all ETPs to provide state-owned companies with services similar to the state defense procurement platform. The sites can be rebuilt in a month, their managers say.

Kommersant’s sources fear that the requirements will be developed to monopolize the market for the AST GOZ, noting that the head of Sberbank German Gref had previously proposed monopolizing this infrastructure.

At the same time, AST GOZ, according to them, has no trading experience - it works with a narrow circle of suppliers for the GOZ. Monopolization will not only lead to the liquidation of the ETP market (more than a hundred sites, purchases by state companies are estimated at 26 trillion rubles per year), but will also deprive customers of the choice of auction organizer.

AST GOZ and its founder Sberbank-AST do not comment on the directive. Executive Director of the ETPRF platform (serves Rostec, Transneft and Rosselkhozbank) Alexander Geller notes that an act that would interpret what “ automated system“tenders for state defense orders” do not exist, and the AST GOZ platform is not integrated with the Unified Information System for procurement, where it is necessary to publish at least notices about them. In addition, when switching to it, about 200 thousand suppliers will be forced to buy software from the Russian company Infotex (the State Defense Committee runs on it), spending about 2 billion rubles. The head of the Gazprombank site, Mikhail Konstantinov, confirmed to Kommersant that the existing ETPs can ensure the information security of customers, and to close information about purchases, it is enough not to publish the winner and the amount. The head of ETP Fabrikant, Sergei Gabestro, is also against the monopoly. “Competition encourages ETPs to develop new services, invest in the creation of new software products and improve the quality of services,” he says.

Anna Pushkarskaya, St. Petersburg

The AST GOZ procurement site began operating in 2017. It conducts closed procedures within the framework of state defense orders, and also places other large government orders. We will tell you further how to work on the specialized electronic platform AST GOZ.

Trading platform AST GOZ

In 2019, Government Decree No. 223 dated February 28, 2019 was issued. It approved the rules for conducting closed procedures at the AST GOZ site. It has been established that the Ministry of Defense, the FSB and the Foreign Intelligence Service, as well as the institutions subordinate to them, are required to conduct the following electronic procurements on the ETP: closed competition, closed competition with limited participation, closed two-stage competition and closed auction. The rules of procedure are prescribed in a separate provision. The new requirements must be applied from July 1, 2019.

Eight questions about the operation of the electronic platform for the supplier

Since 2019, the rules for the work of suppliers on electronic platforms have changed. All procurement methods under Law No. 44-FZ have become electronic, so both the functionality of the platforms and the actions of procurement participants on the sites have changed. There are now eight selected sites for government procurement and the rules for working on them are the same, despite some differences in regulations. In this issue, we asked questions about the work of the sites to Elena Kochetkova, head of the external communications service of TEK-Torg JSC.

Connection cost

Registration on the AST GOZ trading platform is free for both customers and suppliers. However, access to procurement is not possible without purchasing software ViPNet, you will have to pay about 10 thousand rubles for it.

Regulations

The operating regulations can be found in the “Documents” section. There are rules for working in the system, instructions, document templates, and workplace requirements.

The user manual describes the procedure for connecting to the AST GOZ. It describes in detail how to organize a secure communication channel from the procurement specialist’s workplace to the information resources of the AST GOZ electronic platform. Also in the section, see instructions on setting up a workstation for working with digital signature certificates, setting up an automated workstation, obtaining ViPNet software and key sets, installing ViPNet Clien software, connecting to a secure network, etc.

Let us dwell on the documents that the participant must develop and approve. These are regulations for the use of cryptographic information protection, an act of installation of cryptographic information protection, and a log of cryptographic information protection information. Document templates can be found in the “Home” - “Documentation” - “Instructions” section. In addition, the user is required to limit access to CIPF to a specific list of employees, as well as organize measures for anti-virus protection of computers.

To conduct a procurement with state secrets, enter the information into the plan and schedule and obtain approval from the FAS. Choose a supplier using closed methods. Maintain secrecy at all stages and do not publish information in the Unified Information System. Read more about how to conduct a procurement with state secrets and how you will be punished if you break secrecy.

How to work

Customers send invitations to participants to a closed procedure. How does this happen? The customer requests from the ETP operator information from the register that meets the criteria. The request must indicate the requirements for participants, including the availability of necessary permissions. AST GOZ responds to requests within an hour and provides data. Next, the customer generates a list of potential participants in the procedure, transfers them to the site operator, who, in turn, sends them invitations.

If special permits and admissions are not required to participate in the procurement, a list of potential participants is not compiled. The customer simply sends invitations to the AST GOZ operator and asks them to send closed electronic procedures to accredited participants.

If necessary, a notice is placed in the EIS. This must be done 1 business day before the date of sending the invitation to the operator of a specialized electronic platform.

Invitations are not sent to participants who:

• no accreditation;
• there is no entry in the register of participants in closed procedures;
• 3 months or less left until the end of accreditation;
• there is no license with the required degree of secrecy.

Documentation about the procedure is attached to the invitations. If a notice is posted, any participant who has read it has the right to request documentation from the AST GOZ operator. The request is processed within an hour. Only those participants who have received documentation can apply for the procedure. The application is submitted to the ETP operator, it is processed within an hour and a notification is sent to the participant. An application may not be accepted if:

• safety requirements are violated;
• 2 or more applications were submitted by one participant;
• the deadline for submitting applications has been missed;
• there are less than 3 months left until the end of the participant’s accreditation;
• the participant is on the register of unscrupulous suppliers.

What is AST GOZ?

Who can take part in the auction? What are the differences from other sites?

The bidding procedures themselves take place in accordance with 44 Federal Laws and 223 Federal Laws. Bidding is not much different from procurement conducted on open federal platforms. Participants can be legal entities, individuals registered in the Russian Federation, as well as individual entrepreneurs.

How difficult is it to take part in bidding for AST GOZ?

When taking part in bidding for state defense orders, you need to understand that the procedure is indeed not simple and takes more time than accreditation for any of the FETP. In addition to preparing documents, the difficulty lies in installing certified ViPNet Client software.

Attention! Incorrect installation and configuring ViPNet Client can harm the operation of the computer, and in the worst case, even lead to data loss beyond recovery.

You must carefully study the instructions that come with the software. Sometimes this can be difficult even for experienced users.

As a rule, to obtain accreditation for AST GOZ, bidders resort to the help of companies that specialize in such procedures. In particular, to us at Tender Easy Applications for accreditation for AST GOZ are received daily. We have already helped dozens of entrepreneurs successfully accredit on sites, so we can confidently talk about how the procedure goes.

What documents are included in the CIPF package requested by the site?

To ensure connection via a secure communication channel to the AST GOZ site, the user must provide a package of CIPF documents:

instructions for using the software in an organization;

software installation act;

CIPF accounting log (1 organization can purchase several software (! Software is purchased for installation on only 1 PC), all this must be reflected in the accounting log);

constituent documents.

What are the stages of the registration process for AST GOD?

What is AST GOZ?

AST GOZ is a specialized electronic platform for procurement in the field of state defense procurement and closed tenders.

How long does it take to get accredited for AST GOZ?

Here it is important to understand how experienced the user who is undergoing accreditation is.

I can only say about the time frame within which we register our clients. Even a month may not be enough for a not-so-sophisticated bidder to cope with the AST of the State Defense Order.

So, our time frame for completing all stages varies from 5 to 15 working days. Timeliness is most affected by efficiency feedback directly from the bidder: how he can quickly and competently prepare documents both for accreditation and for gaining access. The site’s deadlines are regulated, but as a rule the site not only complies with them, but also exceeds them.

For what reason can they refuse an accreditation for the AST State Defense Order?

The reason is the same as on other sites: poorly scanned documents, or documents that have lost their validity. It should be noted that when errors are corrected, the site allows the client to work again.

Re: Discussion: subsidiary site AST GOZ If you didn’t receive an invitation, then there’s no special show-off. Just keep in mind that the registration procedure there takes more than a month, so when the invitation arrives, it will be too late. I need the order that we worked with before in January called and said that we will now only be at AST GOZ. The schedule includes several purchases on your topic in March-April. Take note. And we immediately ran to register. Three weeks, the invoice has been paid, the status is - we are waiting for documents. The invitation comes to those, Dear, who have worked with these structures. Here we have three dozen contracts with USC Western Military District, Border Guards of St. Petersburg and Leningrad Region, Border Guards of Karelia. Anyone who has never worked with them will not receive invitations to procedures. We are 29.01.
