The mechanisms of the contract system should be simple and transparent

Procurement activities of medical institutions aimed at ensuring the provision of medical services with equipment, medicines, consumables are carried out in accordance with the competitive procedure for determining suppliers and selecting contractors. In May 2023, Federal Law No. 154-FZ of 28.04.2023 “On Amendments to the Federal Law “On the Contract System in the Field of Procurement of Goods, Works, Services for State and Municipal Needs” came into force, which simplified and accelerated procurement procedures. The key changes in the regulations of public procurement for the needs of medical institutions are considered, including a change in the approach of the legislator to determining the initial maximum contract price (IMCP). The mechanism of combating corruption in the field of procurement, manifested through a conflict of interests of procurement participants, has been studied.
