What are the changes in state procurements?
14 amendments on procurement system from “Atameken” were taken into consideration.
“Atameken” intensively works on the improvement of state procurement system, quasi-public sector and subsoil use procurements, increasing the share of local content in the procurement and implementing pre and post-tender control.
Nowadays the department of procurements of “Atameken” worked out the following issues:
There are 14 amendments to the draft bill on procurement system improvement.
-Administrative liability for untimely procurement plans publication
-The establishment of administrative liability in quasi-state sector,
-Creation of single access point,
-Approval of the list of goods and services by the authorized agency
-Internal audit service implementation and the accountability of Board of Directors
-The exclusion of administrative liability of the main provider in the case of no Goods and Services division by the shipment.
-An obligatory advance payment in construction procurement (no more than 30%)
-Provision exception providing to the customer the right to indicate in technical characteristics the equivalent of analogue of procured items.
-Exclusion of the second supplier from including in the roster of unscrupulous vendors
- Selection of the winner with competitive price in construction procurement
- The exclusion of penal system committee involvement by subcontractors
- The exclusion of the provision on rescission of a contract at any stage, if there was violation of the contract.
- Planning documentation and its adjustment
- Time limits for the construction work according to the planning documentation
It was decided to hold procurements of light and furniture industries with centralized method by the single procurement provider. Mandatory requirements were introduced for the selection of domestic goods in the development of design estimate documentation and its subsequent publication.
Rules and procedures of the local content control committee were approved.
The code revision of goods and services handbook was held and it was adopted a new code formation methodology. The institute of industry experts was introduced in procurements of the “Samryk-Kazyna” fund and 26 days became the term of expert review on technical specifications. An analysis was made of the fundamental activities of affiliated companies of “Samryk-Kazyna” fund to make the list of goods and services that will help in intercompany cooperation.
Nevertheless, there is a strong need in continuing and consolidation of several issues. In the framework of state procurements, “Atameken” suggests to exclude anti-dumping measures that allow unscrupulous vendors to lower the costs. We need to implement the instrument of unified pre-qualification of procurements and procurements of “Samryk-Kazyna” fund which will exclude the same procedures and make the expenses low. Besides it is suggested to establish binding requirements on the national standards for technical specifications, it was made to exclude the same technical specifications for exact suppliers and to improve the quality of goods.

It is worth saying that all the above-mentioned suggestions need the implementation of the draft bill amendments. We must amend rules on state procurement to set up dumping prices threshold requirement minimum:
- construction works - 5%;
- design estimate documentation - 5%;
-technical inspection services - 10%
It is necessary to define the list of goods and services, to create single access point and to implement an integration with the current state procurements, and to renew the code since January 1, 2018.
Concerning quasi-state sector procurements it’s necessary to prolong the work on the list of goods and services which can make possible intercompany cooperation of “Samryk-Kazyna” fund. It’s also necessary to create the instrument that will help “Atameken” to get the information about domestic producers and procurement strategies of “Samryk-Kazyna” fund.
In the framework of subsoil use procurements national chamber suggests to implement the principle of accessibility and transparency, and to introduce the criteria for selecting the tender winner in procurements that are carried out by the main subsoil users such as Tengizshevroil, Karachaganak petroleum and NCOC to activate “Alash” database.
