YABLOKO leader didn’t allow the authorities of the Maritime Territory to buy a car for 7 million roubles
Press Release, July 24, 2013
YABLOKO’s Anti-Corruption Centre prevented purchase of an expensive luxurious car by the Maritime Territory administration. After Sergei Mitrokhin’s complaint, the regional department of the Federal Antimonopoly Service of the Maritime Territory decided to annual the results of the tender and appoint a new tender.
The state budgetary institution “Economic Department of the Maritime Territory Administration” placed a lot on delivery of a car at the price of 7 million 130 thousand roubles (about 174,000 Euro) on the web-site of the Government Procurement Service. It should be noted that only car, which was Toyota Land Cruiser Prado, corresponded to the requirements indicated for the tender.
This means that the client violated the law by limiting the circle of potential participants of the tender indicating such product requirements that would not allow other participants to offer the same kind of product.
YABLOKO’s Anti-Corruption Centre has been monitoring purchases of expensive cars by the state bodies. The law does not envisage any restrictions as to the price of such cars, therefore the Anti-Corruption Centre can question and act only in case of the tenders demonstrating a definite car parameters in the product requirements.
