When making a purchase under 44-FZ, the customer is obliged to establish a requirement for securing an application if the purchase is carried out through a tender or auction 1 . Such a requirement should increase the responsibility of the procurement participant for the fulfillment of the obligations that he assumes when submitting an application: in particular, in case of his victory, for the obligation to sign a contract on the conditions established by the customer in the procurement documentation and the conditions of his application.

The form of security (payment by the procurement participant of a deposit of funds or provision of a bank guarantee) depends on the method of procurement - if an electronic auction is held, funds are deposited, if a tender or a closed auction is held, then the procurement participant himself chooses the option that is more convenient for him.

When holding a tender or a closed auction, funds may be deposited by the bidder to a special account specified by the customer in the procurement documentation.

A participant in an electronic auction must place funds on the personal account of the participant opened by the operator of the electronic site for conducting transactions to ensure participation in electronic auctions (when submitting an application for participation in the auction, the operator blocks funds on this account in the amount of the application security).

Of course, in comparison with a bank guarantee, the deposit of funds may be less attractive for the procurement participant, since in order to use this option, he needs to have free funds that he can temporarily withdraw from his circulation.

Recall that, depending on the decision of the customer and the conditions of a particular purchase, the amount of the application security can reach 5% of the initial (maximum) contract price and cannot be less than 0.5% 2 . Therefore, in practice, the introduction of funds is most often used by procurement participants only in the case where this cannot be avoided, namely when participating in an electronic auction. And that is why the issue of getting back the funds deposited as security for the application is relevant both for those participants who become the winners of the auction, and for those who lose the auction.

Certain “rules of the game” 3 are established in the legislation in this regard. Let's consider them taking into account the peculiarities of the used method of procurement.

Methods, procedures, terms and cases of return of the application security

The return of funds deposited as security for the application is carried out by transferring them by the customer to the account of the procurement participant during the tender and the closed auction, and during the electronic auction - by terminating their blocking by the operator of the electronic trading platform on the personal account opened by the platform for the procurement participant.

In the first case information about the account to which the customer must transfer money is contained in the payment order (its copy), which the participant in the tender or closed auction must provide as part of his application 4 . After the occurrence of one or another reason for the return of the security (see below), in principle, no separate actions are required from the procurement participant, although it probably does not hurt to send a letter to the customer with a request to return the security of the application 5 .

In the second case the procurement participant, after unlocking the funds on his personal account, can either leave these funds with the operator for their use when participating in other procurements, or receive them to his bank account in accordance with the regulations of a particular site.

For example, the relevant regulations of the Sberbank-AST site 6 establish that the withdrawal (refund) of funds is made on the basis of an instruction (application) of the participant, issued in the personal account on the electronic site. At the same time, the operator rejects an application for withdrawal (refund) of funds if the specified amount of funds exceeds the balance of free funds on the participant’s personal account - this may, in particular, happen if, after unlocking the funds, the participant submitted a new application for participation in a new electronic auction. The transfer of funds is made according to the details specified in the order (application), and in the absence of such - according to the details specified by the participant during accreditation on the electronic platform. Transfer term - within 3 working days from the date of receipt by the operator of the relevant instruction (application) from the participant. It should be noted that this period was not invented by the electronic platform, but is due to the relevant norm of legislation 7 .

Refunds to the account of the procurement participant during the tender and the closed auction must be made within 5 working days, and the termination of blocking of funds on the account during an electronic auction - within 1 business day from the date of occurrence of one of the following cases 8:

1. Signing of the protocol of consideration and evaluation of applications for participation in the tender, the protocol of summing up the results of the electronic auction or the protocol of the closed auction. But this provision applies only to those procurement participants who lost the auction. If the auction took place or, in accordance with the signed protocol, the contract is concluded with their only participant, then other cases apply to the winner (single participant) (see paragraphs 2 and 7 below). This protocol must be posted in the EIS for open procurement methods, or information about this decision must be addressed to the procurement participants for closed methods.
2. Conclusion of a contract with the winner of the auction (the only bidder). This provision applies only to the winner (the only bidder), because the function of securing the bid is precisely to motivate him to conclude a contract based on the results of the bidding. Note that the conclusion of the contract can take place no earlier than 10 days from the date of placement in the EIS of the protocol with the results of the auction 9 .
3. Cancellation by the customer of the auction. In this case, the return of the security is carried out in respect of all participants. Note that the decision to cancel the auction must be posted in the EIS on the day this decision is made (with open procurement methods), and also be immediately brought to the attention of the procurement participants who submitted the bids (if the customer has information to communicate with these participants); auctions are considered canceled from the moment the decision to cancel them is posted in the UIS 10 . With closed procurement methods, only targeted notification of procurement participants about the decision taken takes place.
4. Rejection of the bidder's bid. In this case, the return of the security is carried out specifically in relation to this participant. Note that the decision to reject the application must be recorded by the customer in the protocol, which is posted in the EIS (with open procurement methods) no later than the working day following the date of signing the protocol during an open tender 11 , or no later than the date of consideration of applications for participation in electronic auction 12 . With closed procurement methods, the corresponding protocol is not posted in the EIS, but only targeted notification of participants about the decision taken takes place. The situation is equated to the same case when the participant is suspended from participation in the auction or the customer refuses to conclude an agreement with him at any time before the conclusion of the contract due to the fact that the customer has revealed that the participant in the auction provided false information in his application regarding his compliance with the established requirements or violated the rules for the supply of vital and essential drugs 13 . We also point out that the legislation defines a special case when the rejection of the application of an electronic auction participant may, on the contrary, be the basis for refusing to return the application security to him (see below).
5. Withdrawal of the application by the procurement participant before the deadline for submission of applications. To do this, the procurement participant must send an appropriate notification to the customer or the operator of the electronic site, and the date of withdrawal will be the date the addressee receives this notification 14 . Note that if the notification is received by the addressee after the deadline for submitting bids, then such notification will be considered invalid, and therefore the procurement participant will not be able to count on a quick return of the security for his bid - it will occur on other grounds and, therefore, in other terms. In the notice of withdrawal of the application, it is recommended to separately draw the attention of the addressee to the need to return the security of the application (for example, see the sample notice of the withdrawal of an application for participation in an open tender in the Consultant Plus SPS (Contract System Guide)).
6. Receipt of an application for participation in the auction after the deadline for submission of applications. It should be noted that there may be difficulties with determining the date of receipt of such an application when using non-electronic procurement methods, since the legislation here requires the customer to register the receipt of those applications that he receives only before the specified deadline 15 . Therefore, the procurement participant is recommended to send his application in such a way (for example, by registered mail with notification) so that the deadline for receipt of the application can be documented regardless of when it arrives to the customer.
7. Receipt by the customer of the decision of the body authorized to exercise control in the field of procurement on refusal to agree on the conclusion of a contract with a single supplier, and in the case of an electronic auction - receipt by the operator of the electronic site from the customer of the said decision sent no later than the working day following the date of receipt by the customer said decision. Recall that in order to conclude a contract with the sole bidder as the sole supplier (with the exception of certain cases), the customer must obtain approval from the Federal Antimonopoly Service or the executive authority of the constituent entity of the Russian Federation (local government) authorized to exercise control in the field of procurement 16 . If there is no such agreement, then the contract following the results of the procurement is not concluded, and the procurement participant with whom the customer was going to conclude a contract as the only participant is returned the application security. Note that the case of holding an electronic auction just now falls into exceptions to this rule - according to its results, agreement in concluding a contract with a single supplier is not required.

In addition, the operator of the electronic site is obliged to stop blocking operations on the personal account opened for conducting operations to secure participation in the electronic auction of the procurement participant who did not participate in such an auction, in respect of funds in the amount of the security of the application for participation in it within 1 business day from the date of posting on the electronic platform of the protocol of such an auction 17 .

Let us also pay attention to the fact that the operator of the electronic site must return to the participant of the electronic auction not only the amount of the security itself, but also the income received by him from the placement of funds deposited as security for bids for the period of placement of these funds on the account of the operator of the electronic site in the bank from the moment of blocking the specified funds until the termination of their blocking on the basis of an agreement concluded by the operator of the electronic site with each participant in the procurement when they pass accreditation on the electronic site 18 .

Such income may represent deposit interest if the platform operator uses for operations with the means of securing applications an account opened with a bank under a bank deposit agreement. However, in practice, this provision, as a rule, does not work - most often, operators, not seeing any benefits for themselves in using a deposit account (after all, interest must still be paid to the procurement participant), use a simple bank account for these operations, where the deposited funds the bank does not charge any interest. Nevertheless, procurement participants are still advised to find out from the operator of the electronic site which account he uses for operations with the means of securing bids. If this is still a bank deposit account, and the operator does not transfer any additional amounts to the participant, then it is necessary to require the operator to transfer the appropriate amounts, and if he does not agree to this, then go to court on this matter 19 .

However, we note that in accordance with the provisions of federal law on the contract system, the considered requirement to pay participants in an electronic auction the income received by the operator of an electronic site does not apply to those electronic sites that were selected before the entry into force of 44-FZ 20 . These sites include: JSC Unified Electronic Trading Platform (www.roseltorg.ru), CJSC MICEX-Information Technologies (www.ets-micex.ru), State Unitary Enterprise Agency for State Order, Investment Activities and Interregional Relations Republic of Tatarstan (www.zakazrf.ru), CJSC Sberbank-Automated System of Trading (www.sberbank-ast.ru), LLC RTS Index Agency (www.rts-tender.ru) 22 .

Responsibility of the customer and the operator of the electronic platform for the return of the application security

In the event of a delay in the fulfillment by the customer or the operator of the electronic site of their stipulated obligations for the timely return of funds or the termination of their blocking, the procurement participant, including the winner in the procurement, has the right to demand payment of penalties 23 . The penalty is accrued for each day of delay in the performance of the obligation, starting from the day following the day of the expiration of the deadline for the performance of the obligation established in accordance with this article, and is set at 1/300 of the refinancing rate of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation 24 effective on the date of payment of penalties from the amount not returned on time or from the amount, the blocking of which should be terminated. And such precedents, when procurement participants collect interest from customers for the misuse of their funds, already exist 25 .

It also includes administrative responsibility. In particular, violation of the deadlines for the return (unblocking) of funds deposited as security for the application entails the imposition of administrative fines on the customer or operator of the electronic site from 5 to 90 thousand rubles. 26

In addition, it should be noted that in the case of electronic auctions, jointly and severally liable, together with the operator of the electronic site, for meeting the deadline for the return of funds for the security of the application, the bank that services the account of the operator 27 also bears.

Cases when the funds for securing the application are not returned to the procurement participant

The procurement participant cannot count on the return of the bid security in the following cases 28:

1. The procurement participant, recognized as the supplier (contractor, performer), refused or evaded the conclusion of the contract. Note that here we are talking about the only bidder or the winner of the bidding. If the contract is not signed by the bidder whose application is assigned the second number, then this is not considered an evasion from concluding a contract 29 . As for the electronic auction, the situation from a formal legal point of view is not very clear here: on the one hand, the legislation does not have the same norm as in relation to the competition (see above), and on the other hand, the procedure and terms for concluding a contract according to the results of the electronic auction and the established deadlines for the return of the bid security, it is possible that by the time the “first number” is recognized as evading the conclusion of the contract, the bid security will already be returned to the “second number” even if he also evades the conclusion of the contract contract, he will have nothing to “not return”. However, taking into account the fact that the legislation allows the "second number" to refuse to conclude a contract 30 , the issue of non-return of the bid security to him is usually not raised in practice.
2. The procurement participant, recognized as the winner of the procurement, did not provide the customer or provided, in violation of the established conditions, the security for the performance of the contract 31 .

Particular attention should be paid to the fact that the legislation defines a special case when, during an electronic auction, the operator of the electronic site does not return the security of the application to the procurement participant whose application for participation in the auction was rejected 32 . This occurs if, on the same electronic site, in relation to one procurement participant, 3 times during one quarter, the auction commissions (of one or several customers) decide that the second parts of its bids do not comply with the requirements of the auction documentation 33 - in this case, the security of the last of these 3 applications.

In simple terms, this rule is designed to punish those procurement participants who are dishonest and careless in the preparation of applications and do it systematically. However, the procurement participant who falls under such a sanction has the opportunity to appeal its application - within 30 days after the last rejection of the application, the application security remains blocked on the account of the operator of the electronic site and only after this period is transferred to the customer. This time is just given to the procurement participant to appeal the decision of the auction commission. It should be noted that the practice of resolving disputes in the FAS and judicial practice in this regard are very curious.

Example

In the Vladimir region in May 2014, a procurement participant (asphalt concrete plant) submitted 28 applications for participation in electronic auctions held by the regional administration in one day. All these bids were rejected by the customer due to the fact that they lacked the documents required by the auction documentation. Based on this, the operator of the electronic site continued to block funds in relation to the means of securing each third application of the procurement participant (withheld amount amounted to 750 thousand rubles). The plant went to court, believing that there was no sign of systematicity in its actions, since its applications were submitted at the same time and they all had the same violations that caused them to be rejected. Although the funds have already been transferred by the operator of the electronic platform to the customer, the litigation in the courts of various instances in this case has not yet ended and has a rich history 34 .

The concept of "quarter" is also ambiguously interpreted. According to the Ministry of Economic Development of the Russian Federation, a quarter begins from the date the auction commission decides that the first bid filed by such a participant 35 is inconsistent, i.e., for example, auction bids filed in December and January are considered to be submitted within one quarter. But in accordance with civil law, a quarter is considered equal to 3 months, and quarters are counted from the beginning of the year 36 . Although logically, the first interpretation is probably still more justified - after all, if a procurement participant submitted 2 "crooked" auction bids at the end of one calendar quarter, and 2 more of the same bids at the beginning of the next calendar quarter, then in the interpretation of civil law, under no he will not be sanctioned. It should be noted that in judicial practice there is also an interpretation of the term “quarter” that does not coincide with the interpretation of civil law - the court considers the auctions that took place in March and April as held within one quarter 37 . In the administrative regulations of electronic platforms, the concept of “quarter”, as a rule, is also not specified in any way.

To participate in an electronic auction, it is necessary to make an application security, according to Law No. 44 of the Russian Federation, ranging from 0.5% to 5%. We present you the details of one of the most popular electronic trading platforms for public procurement in the Volgograd region - Sberbank AST. In the course of work, it turned out to be one of the important tasks to quickly transfer funds for some kind of electronic auction. Considering that tenders up to 3 million rubles are held 7 days after publication on the electronic trading platform, and there are only five state-owned electronic trading platforms and each one opens an account, then you have to quickly withdraw from one site and also quickly transfer or “report” to another trading platform. Since 2015, the withdrawal and transfer time has been reduced to part-time.
