How to identify the unfair supplier?

According to the Article 19 of the 94th Federal law "On placing the orders for state and municipal needs" unfair suppliers are included in special register maintained by the Anti-Monopoly Service.

There are two reasons for entering in the mentioned register of unfair suppliers. First, if the auction winner refuses to sign the contract. In this case, the customer must notify the Federal Antimonopoly Service (FAS) for further verification and unfair supplier gets into the registry in case of validation. The second reason is significant violation of contract terms. In this case, the customer terminates the contract in court, and refers to the OFAS only after the court decision comes into force.

Information about the firm is in the Register of unfair suppliers (RUS) for two years from the entry date. The company has no right to participate in the bidding for this period of time, and only expiration could be the reason for the removal from the register.

In the future the requirements of keeping the Register are planned to be tightened. Now founders and directors of organizations included in the registry often start a new business or change tax number (INN) and continue their activities. Therefore, the FAS plans to add information on founders and directors to the registry. But as long as the change is not introduced, companies should take heed in order not to face the unfair suppliers while entering into agreements.
