Article 61. Conducting Selection

If only one proposal was submitted or if no proposal was submitted at the moment the deadline for submitting proposals for participation in the selection expired, the selection shall be considered not to have taken place. In this case, the state customer may conduct a new selection or carry out the procurement through the electronic shop (within the criteria established in Article 49 of this Law) or the simplified procedure for small-value procurement (within the criteria established in Article 511 of this Law) or an auction in accordance with the requirements of this Law.

At the time indicated in the announcement as the time for conducting the selection, the electronic public procurement system shall automatically provide the possibility to view the electronic documents posted by the participants that constitute their selection proposals. The electronic public procurement system shall verify the compliance of the price offered by the participant with the initial price and the completeness of the electronic fields. If the price offered by the participant is higher than the initial price, as well as if there are mandatory blank fields for filling in and posting the documents that must be attached, the electronic public procurement system shall reject the participant's proposal, indicating the specific reason. The verification of the compliance of the information in the attached documents with the information indicated in the selection participant's proposal shall be carried out by the responsible secretary of the procurement commission.

The selection shall be recognized as completed if the procurement commission has received not less than two proposals from participants that meet the requirements specified in the procurement documentation for the selection.

All proposals of the participants shall be evaluated on the basis of the criteria specified in the procurement documentation for the selection, and shall be recorded in the protocol of the selection.

The term for considering and evaluating the proposals of the selection participants cannot exceed ten working days from the date of the deadline for submitting proposals.

Evaluation of proposals of participants can be carried out in two stages.

Selection for the amount of not more than fifty basic calculated values (for budget customers — for the amount of no more than twenty-five basic calculated values) under one contract can be carried out without the participation of the procurement commission, but for the amount of not more than one thousand basic calculated values within one financial year for one corporate customer and in the amount of not more than five hundred basic calculated values — within one financial year for one budget customer. In this respect, the winner shall be determined by the state customer by comparing prices obtained from open sources of information, or by requesting prices from potential suppliers of goods (works, services), without placing an announcement about the selection. Information about the registered documents, concluded contracts and additional agreements to them shall be posted by the state customer on a special information portal no later than three working days from the date of their registration or conclusion.
