A Decree No. 967 of the Government of the Russian Federation dd. 14.08.2017 "On the specifics of procurement of single-use (use) medical items from chloride plastics to ensure state and municipal needs", was adopted On August 14, 2017, which enters into force on August 25, 2017.

The approved Decree establishes the characteristics of the procurement by the federal state budgetary institutions and the state budgetary institutions of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, providing medical assistance under the program of state guarantees for the free provision of medical assistance and single-use medical items made of PVC-plastics to the citizens.

The Government has set the following innovations for these customers:

• to supply disposable medical items made of PVC-plastics, which entered the list (hereinafter - items from the list) will only be available for the organizations from the Special Register. It will be available on the website of the Ministry of Industry and United information-computing center;
• if the goods from the list are produced abroad, the clients will have to limit their admission to procurement;
• the Commission will review all applications, including all second parts of the bids to be submitted by the participants of the electronic auction;
• the initial maximum price will need to be calculated according to the joint methodology of the Ministry of Public Health and the Ministry of Industry and Trade. This document has not yet been adopted;
• it will not be possible to purchase items from the list at the same time with those, not included in it.

Under the new regulations, if at least one application complies with the procurement documents, the client will have to reject all the rest. The "correct" application should, however, offer the supply of goods from the list. It should be sent by a supplier, which iss in the special registry.
