Article 51. Procedure for Conducting the Procurement Procedure in an Electronic Store

The state customer, by studying the offers of participants in the electronic store, shall select the goods (work, service) they need and, after selecting the goods (work, service), shall use the request for quotation mechanism.

The electronic system of public procurement in automatic mode, by implementing the mechanism for requesting quotations, shall ensure the mailing to the participant who proposed the selected offer, as well as to all participants offering similar goods (works, services) in the electronic store, offers to participate in the procurement procedure.

Participants shall be entitled to submit their proposals within two working days from the moment the electronic public procurement system sends the proposal to participate in the price query.

The proposal to participate in the request for quotations sent to the participants shall include a link to the participant's offer selected by the state customer.

A participant who has received an offer to participate in the procurement procedure shall have the right to make a quotation at a price lower than the offer price chosen by the state customer.

Comparison of quotations proposals submitted by participants shall be carried out by the electronic public procurement system in automatic mode.

The electronic public procurement system shall register the completed transaction between the state customer and the executor who offered the lowest price.

Participant data shall not be available to the state customer or participants until the summing up. The name of the executor shall be displayed in the electronic public procurement system at the time of determining the winner.

The electronic public procurement system shall form a contract in accordance with the conditions set forth in the participant's offer chosen by the state customer, and the lowest price offered by the participants.

In cases where, following the results of the procurement procedures, only the participant who proposed the selected offer took part, the electronic public procurement system shall send a request to the state customer, allowing bidding in electronic form. In this respect, the state customer shall have the opportunity to send a request to the participant who proposed the selected offer at a lower reasonable price than the price they offered. The participant who proposed the selected offer can accept or reject such a request within one business day.
