Dear friends!

 

            In spite of certain complexities, free market competition in Russia is increasingly becoming one of the key factors that influence the social stability of the country, growing economic potential, and international reputation of a reliable long-term partner. During the three years of its existence the Moscow City Competition Policy Department has made successful efforts to protect unrestricted economic competition, save the city budgetary funds by optimizing the municipal contract placement procedure and promote foreign investment in the Moscow Government major infrastructure improvement projects.

We are open for cooperation. “I respect people who do know what they want”, wrote Gothe. “There are so many problems in the world because of the fact that people neither know nor understand their destine. Sometimes when they start the constructin of the building they don`t pay enough attention to the foundation.” To get the better result we should cooperate. According to the words of German philosopher Vilgelm Windelband, “the purposes can`t be realized themselves, we should make efforts to realize them.”

Moscow City Competition Policy Department (Tender Committee)

The Moscow City Committee for Organization and Holding of Competitions and Auctions (Tender Committee) was established in 2004 under Ordinance No 90-PP of the Moscow Government dated February 17, 2004, to become eventually transformed into the Moscow City Competition Policy Department in July 2006 under Ordinance No. 462-PP dated July 4, 2006.

In early 2004, within the framework of the Committee target activity, a unified approach to the functioning of the Moscow tender system has been elaborated. Its main advantages consisted in comprehensive control over the bidding process, standardization of all the preparation and tendering procedures, elimination of duplicated competitions practice and more efficient use of human resources, facilities, equipment, and state-of-the-art technologies.

The target Federal Law No 94-FZ dated 07/21/2005 propelled a substantial expansion of the Department activity scope: the Department thus turned into a testing ground for elaboration of new procedures and rules which later on were adopted in other Russian regions. The results of the initial six months of 2007 are quite illustrative: in Moscow the total number of tenders, auctions and quotation requests came to amount to some 35 000 (for comparison: the value of the corresponding annual index for 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006 had been equal to 3 000, 7 000, 10 000 and 42 600 accordingly).
