The Government Resolution # 979 dd. September 15, 2015 introduces changes to the Government Resolution # 865 dd.

KPMG will shortly distribute a separate alert addressing the key points of the updated Rules, which enter into force on October 1, 2015.
The Ministry for Economic Development prepared the Draft Federal Law “On Amendments to the Federal Law #44-FZ dd. April 5, 2013 “On Contractual System in the Sphere of Goods, Works and Services Procurement for State and Municipal Needs”.
The Draft Law proposes introducing an obligatory requirement for the customer to pay for particular stages of the contract execution within 30 days starting from the date of signing the acceptance document for the goods supplied / works performed / services rendered.
Currently the payment due date is specified for private customers only, while the state and municipal customers are entitled to defer the payment up to 120 days.
The Draft Law also empowers the Government to determine the types of activity for which the minimal term of the contract execution by the supplier (contractor, provider) should be established. This rule is supposed to decrease the number of collusions between customers and suppliers by means of fixing a non-typically short contract execution term, as a result of which the only one supplier (usually, affiliated with the customer), is able to perform the contract within the timeframe set.
The proposed amendments are aimed at minimizing the risks for suppliers involved in the state and municipal procurements, as well as ensuring fair competition between the procurements participants.
