Particulars of documents submission for participation in public procurement of “hazardous” works has been clarified

Russian Ministry of Economic Development in the lettre de cabinet dated 27.01.2017 # D28i-336 clarifies that procurement party shall submit, as part of the application, the certificate of admission to the works under general contracting or furnish tolerances for types of work, affecting safety of capital construction, depending on the language in the procurement documentation.

The Ministry of Economic Development has earlier repeatedly expressed the similar opinion (in lettre de cabinet dated 14.09.2016 # D28i-2545).

The Ministry lead-up is based on the provisions of the Russian Federation Town Planning Code and List of types of work, affecting safety of capital construction. The List also includes construction planning works, i.e., general contractor works.

Taking into account Ministry of Economic Development recommendations the governmental customer has the right to set requirements of submission only certificate of admission to the works under general contracting. In this case, exactly his name shall be mentioned in the application of the procurement party.

If in this case the procurement party tries to present certificate of admission to specific types of work, the customer shall not accept the document, since according to FAS requiring certificate of admission to specific types of work from procurement party is illegal.
