Intentional confusion in procurement documentation
Posted: Tue Jan 21, 2025 3:29 am
Some of the requirements for the purchased goods are specified in the technical specifications, and some are specified somewhere else, for example, in the draft contract. A supplier who is not very attentive risks being caught on the bait: he will submit an application without taking into account all the requirements, and it will be rejected. As a result, the "right" supplier who was warned will win.
Case study
A purchase is being made for the installation and maintenance peru telegram number database of a fire alarm. The technical documentation specifies the parameters of the equipment, types of sensors, etc. And the draft contract also specifies that the same supplier must supply a computer to connect the system with narrowly defined characteristics. Most suppliers were guided only by the description of the equipment, not noticing the additional requirement for the computer. As a result, their applications were rejected as not meeting the requirements of the documentation - and the right supplier won.

Hiding data
Another option to exploit the supplier's inattention is to format documents describing the requirements for the TRU so that some of the information is hidden (for example, by changing the cell size in Excel). This is impossible when working under 44-FZ, because all information is submitted through standardized forms. But for purchases under 223-FZ, such manipulation is not yet excluded.
