Disputes about entering a company in the Register of Unscrupulous Suppliers

The Register of Unscrupulous Suppliers records information on unscrupulous participants in state and corporate procurements. The inclusion of the company in the Register of Unscrupulous Suppliers deprives it of the right to subsequently participate in procurement for 2 years. Such a decision to include unscrupulous suppliers in the Register has a particularly strong effect on organizations engaged in licensed activities or activities requiring the receipt of a permit issued directly to the company.

It is important to note that according to Russian legislation in the case of both state and corporate procurements, filing an application for inclusion in the Register of Unscrupulous Suppliers is not a right, but an obligation of the customer, if there were facts that warrant such inclusion.

As a general rule of civil law, a contract can be terminated by agreement of the parties or by the decision of one of the parties in case of significant violation by the other party of obligations to fulfill the terms of the contract, as well as in cases directly established by applicable law.

The main legislative acts regulating the grounds for inclusion in the Register of unscrupulous suppliers are the Federal Law of April 5, 2013 N 44- FZ “On the contract system in the field of procurement of goods, works, services to meet state and municipal needs” and the Federal Law of July 18, 2011, N 223- FZ “On the procurement of goods, works, services by certain types of legal entities”.

According to the Federal Law 223-FZ, the Register of Unscrupulous Suppliers includes information on procurement participants who evaded the conclusion of contracts, as well as on suppliers with whom contracts were terminated by a court decision in connection with a significant violation of their terms of execution. According to the Law N 44-FZ, an additional condition to the above for inclusion in the Register of Unscrupulous Suppliers is the unilateral refusal of the customer to execute the contract due to a significant violation by the supplier (contractor) of the terms of the contract. Thus, in the framework of public procurement, there is a wider range of grounds for inclusion in the Register of Unscrupulous Suppliers.

Cases of termination of an agreement or contract by agreement of the parties according to Russian legislation are not grounds for inclusion in the Register of unscrupulous suppliers. In the current law enforcement practice, there are cases when additional grounds have been identified for invalidating the inclusion of procurement participants in the Register of Unscrupulous Suppliers. However, such cases always require additional legal assessment on an individual basis.
