MINISTRY OF FINANCE OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION

Department budget policy in the field of the contract system, having considered the appeal regarding the issue of increasing the price of the contract by more than 10%, as well as changing the type of work established in the estimate, reports the following.

In accordance with part 1 of Article 34 of the Federal Law of April 5, 2013 N 44-FZ "On the contract system in the field of procurement of goods, works, services to meet state and municipal needs" (hereinafter - Law N 44-FZ), the contract is concluded for conditions stipulated by the notice of the procurement or the invitation to participate in the selection of the supplier (contractor, performer), procurement documentation, application, final offer of the procurement participant with whom the contract is concluded, except for cases in which, in accordance with Law N 44-FZ a notice of procurement or an invitation to participate in the selection of a supplier (contractor, performer), procurement documentation, an application, a final offer are not provided.

At the same time, in accordance with Part 2 of Article 34 of Law No. 44-FZ, when concluding a contract, it is indicated that the contract price is fixed and is determined for the entire period of the contract, and in cases established by the Government of the Russian Federation, the approximate value of the contract price or the price formula and the maximum value contract prices set by the customer in the procurement documentation. When concluding and executing a contract, changing its terms is not allowed, except for the cases provided for by the said article and article 95 of Law N 44-FZ.

According to subparagraph "b" of paragraph 1 of part 1 of article 95 of Law N 44-FZ, a change in the essential terms of the contract during its execution is allowed if, at the suggestion of the customer, the quantity of goods, scope of work or services provided for in the contract is increased by no more than ten percent or the stipulated contract, the quantity of goods supplied, the volume of work performed or services rendered by no more than ten percent. At the same time, by agreement of the parties, it is allowed to change, taking into account the provisions of the budgetary legislation of the Russian Federation, the price of the contract in proportion to the additional quantity of goods, additional volume of work or service based on the price of a unit of goods, work or service established in the contract, but not more than ten percent of the contract price.

When reducing the quantity of goods, volume of work or service provided for by the contract, the parties to the contract are obliged to reduce the price of the contract based on the unit price of the goods, work or service. The price of a unit of additionally delivered goods or the price of a unit of goods in case of a decrease in the quantity of goods supplied under the contract must be determined as the quotient of dividing the original price of the contract by the quantity of such goods provided for in the contract.

Given the above, if it is necessary for the customer to increase or decrease the scope of work provided for by the contract (if such a possibility was established by the procurement documentation), during the execution of the contract, it is possible to increase or decrease the scope of work for certain positions of the local budget calculation by no more than ten percent based on the price of a unit of work volume established in the contract. Wherein total cost the estimated calculation should be changed in proportion to the additional amount of work, but not more than ten percent.

If there is a need for types of work not provided for by the contract, such a purchase should be carried out by competitive methods for determining the supplier (contractor, performer) established by Law N 44-FZ.

On an increase in the contract price by more than 10% and a change in the type of work established in the estimate

Answer

Read the answer to the question in the article: If during the formation terms of reference we do not ask for specific indicators for nails, is it necessary to indicate the country of origin of the nails, and if we ask for specific indicators for paint, is it necessary to indicate the country?

Law No. 44-FZ establishes a strict procedure for changing the essential terms of a concluded contract. Therefore, if the customer has a need to change them, he needs to remember in which cases this can be done and in which it cannot.

In what cases it is possible to change the concluded contract

By general rule the parties to the contract are not entitled to change its essential terms, but there are a number of exceptions. The parties have the right to change the essential terms of the contract by agreement of the parties, if:

Thanks for taking the test.
We already know the result, find out for you ↓
Find out the result

1. It is necessary to reduce the price of the contract without changing the quantity of goods, the volume of work or services provided for by the contract, their quality and other conditions of the contract.

2. The customer proposed to increase or decrease the quantity of goods, work or services provided for in the contract no more than 10 percent . In this case, the parties, by agreement and taking into account the provisions of the budgetary legislation of Russia, have the right to change the price of the contract in proportion to the additional quantity of goods, volume of work or service based on the price of a unit of goods, work or service established in the contract, but not more than 10 percent of the contract price.

When reducing the quantity of goods, volume of work or service provided for by the contract, the parties to the contract are obliged to reduce the price of the contract based on the unit price of the goods, work or service.

The price of a unit of additionally delivered goods or the price of a unit of goods in case of a decrease in the quantity of goods supplied under the contract must be determined as the quotient of dividing the original price of the contract by the quantity of such goods provided for in the contract.

Attention: it is possible to change the terms of the contract specified in paragraphs 1 and 2 if the customer in the contract and the procurement documentation, and when purchasing from a single supplier (contractor, performer) - in the contract provided for such an opportunity.

This will increase the amount of work on other types of work in the estimate, but not more than 10 percent. The price of the contract also should not be increased by more than 10 percent or 9,000.00 rubles.

If the customer is a government or state-financed organization and he has no limits for increasing the price, then he is not entitled to increase the scope of work and the price of the contract by 10 percent (Article 34 of the Budget Code of the Russian Federation).

Situation: is it possible to change the quantity of goods at the stage of concluding a contract in accordance with Article 95 of Law No. 44-FZ

No, the possibility of amending the terms of the contract on the basis of part 1 of article 95 of Law No. 44-FZ is provided for during its execution, that is, after its conclusion. The contract must be concluded on the terms stipulated by the notice of procurement or an invitation to take part in determining the supplier (contractor, performer), procurement documentation, application, final offer of the procurement participant with whom the contract is concluded (if such documents are provided in accordance with Law No. 44 -FZ) (part 1 of article 34 of Law No. 44-FZ).

And only after the contract is concluded (signed by the parties), it is necessary to form an additional agreement on reducing the quantity of goods on the basis of subparagraph "b" of paragraph 1 of part 1 of Article 95 of Law No. 44-FZ, if the possibility of changing the terms of the contract was provided for by the procurement documentation and the contract.

Is it possible to make changes to the draft contract at the stage of its conclusion in order to correct errors made during the formation of the auction documentation?

The customer is not entitled to make changes to the draft contract being concluded.

Otherwise, such actions of the customer will lead to a violation of part 1 of article 34, parts 2, 10 of article 70 of Law No. 44-FZ.

Officials of the customer may be brought to administrative responsibility on the basis of part 1 of article 7.32 of the Code of the Russian Federation on administrative offenses(decision of the FAS Russia dated January 22, 2015 in case No. K-K-40/15/14).

If the execution of the contract on the conditions specified in it is impossible, then the customer and the supplier have the right to terminate it immediately after the conclusion of the contract by agreement of the parties on the basis of Part 8 of Article 95 of Law No. 44-FZ.

Calculation of penalties for price changes

We signed a contract for the supply of fuel, and later the customer decided to increase the volume of delivery of goods. Accordingly, we have increased the price of the contract. But we delayed the delivery of the goods. How will the customer charge us a penalty: from the original contract price or from the changed one?

Situation: is the customer entitled to conclude an additional agreement to increase the price of the contract by 10 percent, if the contract was concluded as a result of the request for quotations

No, not right.

Firstly, the parties are not entitled to increase the price of the contract on the basis of subparagraph "b" of paragraph 1 of part 1 of Article 95 of Law No. 44-FZ without increasing the quantity of goods supplied, the volume of services provided (work performed).

Secondly, the possibility of changing the terms of the contract must be provided for in it and in the procurement documentation (with the exception of procurement from a single supplier) (clause 1, part 1, article 95 of Law No. 44-FZ). The procedure for determining a supplier (contractor, executor) by requesting quotations does not involve the formation of procurement documentation. Therefore, if the purchase was carried out by conducting a request for quotations, then the customer is not entitled to conclude an additional agreement to the contract that changes the quantity of goods supplied, the volume of services provided (work performed), as well as the price of the contract on the basis of subparagraph "b" of paragraph 1 of part 1 of Article 95 of Law No. 44-FZ.

This conclusion is confirmed by the position of the Ministry of Economic Development of Russia, set out in letters dated November 23, 2015 No. D28i-3411, dated October 2, 2015 No. OG-D28-12811.

Situation: Is it possible to increase the scope of work by 10 percent in relation to an already completed contract?

No you can not. Based on the meaning of subparagraph “b” of paragraph 1 of part 1 of Article 95 of Law No. 44-FZ, the parties can change the terms of the contract only in the course of its execution (for example, before signing the acceptance certificate for all work, the act on the fulfillment of obligations under the contract). That is, if the contract has already been executed, its terms cannot be changed.

Situation: the customer has signed a contract for the construction of a school. In the design documentation, he provided for the types of work on the fire protection of metal, but did not provide for these works in the contract (estimate). Can an additional agreement include these works in the contract with an increase in the cost of the contract up to 10 percent

No, this possibility is not provided for in Law No. 44-FZ. Based on the meaning of subparagraph “b” of paragraph 1 of part 1 of article 95 of Law No. 44-FZ, “new works” cannot be added to the contract, since only the amount of work that is already provided for in the contract can be increased by 10 percent. At the same time, the price increase is also carried out on the basis of the price of a unit of work established in the contract.

For “new works”, the customer needs to make a new purchase. For example, if its amount does not exceed 100,000 rubles, then from a single supplier (clause 4, part 1, article 93 of Law No. 44-FZ).

Situation: based on the results of an electronic auction, an institution to meet the needs of a constituent entity of the Russian Federation entered into a contract for the provision of security services for an office space. However, later unforeseen expenses arose for other required by the institution services resulting in funding gaps. Is it possible to reduce the price of the concluded contract?

For example, it is impossible to accurately calculate how much electricity an enterprise will consume in a year, but for normal operation public utilities performer must provide continuously. When the delivery of the goods has taken place, the work has been completed, the service has been provided, but there is no signed contract yet - few people know how to work with such contracts without errors.

  • prices of goods, works, services, the quantity, volume of which is reduced and which were the subject of the offense.

Such liability is established in Part 5 of Article 7.32 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation.

Officials are understood as the heads of the customer and the supplier (contractor, performer), as well as individual entrepreneurs. Entrepreneurs are not mentioned in these compositions, but they are liable in the same amount as officials, since the Code of the Russian Federation on Administrative Offenses does not provide otherwise (Article 2.4 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation).

Situation: is it possible to conclude an agreement on changing the contract number and the number of the protocol for consideration and evaluation of quotation bids

Yes, since the number of the contract and the number of the protocol for the consideration and evaluation of quotation bids are not essential terms of the contract.

At the same time, it must be remembered that in this situation, he needs to make changes to the information about the contract in the register of contracts on the official website within three working days from the date of signing the additional agreement (part 3 of article 103 of Law No. 44-FZ).

Situation: is it allowed to change the amount of the advance payment during the execution of the contract

No, not allowed. This possibility is not provided for by either Article 34 or Article 95 of Law No. 44-FZ.

Situation: is it possible to extend the expiration date of the contract due to the fact that the goods are detained at customs

No you can not. Such a case is not provided for by Part 1 of Article 95 of Law No. 44-FZ. Therefore, if an additional agreement is concluded to the contract on changing its expiration date on this basis, there are risks that antimonopoly service will regard such a change as an offense under Article 7.32 of the RF Code of Administrative Offences.

The supplier should be aware that the customer may apply to him liability in the form of penalties (fines, penalties) for failure to comply or improper performance obligations that are provided for by the contract (part 6 of article 34 of Law No. 44-FZ).

Situation: can the customer establish in the contract a condition on its annual prolongation

No, he can not. The provisions of Law No. 44-FZ do not provide for the possibility of extending the fulfillment of obligations under the contract for the next year. The prolongation clause of the contract does not clearly define the date of termination of the legal relationship between the parties and increases the price of the contract to a value exceeding that allowed by Law No. 44-FZ, which violates the provisions of Law No. 44-FZ. A similar position is contained in the decision Arbitration Court Kurgan region dated July 22, 2015 in case No. А34-3527/2015.

In what cases it is impossible to change the concluded contract

You cannot change:

  1. Subject of the contract (for example, a specific type of service and features of their performance under the contract paid provision services (Clause 1, Article 779 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation).

  4. Supplier (contractor, performer). An exception is the case when the new supplier (contractor, performer) is the successor of the supplier (contractor, performer) under such a contract as a result of the reorganization of a legal entity in the form of transformation (clause 5 of article 58 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation), merger (clause 1 of article 58 of the Civil Code RF) or accession (clause 2, article 58 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation).

Situation: in what cases can the customer transfer rights and obligations under contracts to a new customer who is not the successor of the old enterprise

The transfer of rights and obligations under contracts can only be carried out if the new institution belongs to the category of customers in the understanding of Law No. 44-FZ.

Law No. 44-FZ does not directly establish cases when a change of the customer is possible, but allows such a possibility itself (part 6 of article 95 of Law No. 44-FZ, letter of the Ministry of Economic Development of Russia dated March 21, 2016 No. D28i-808).

The transfer of rights and obligations based on the meaning of part 6 of article 95 of Law No. 44-FZ can only be made to a new customer.

In this case, the parties should draw up an additional agreement on termination of the contract by agreement of the parties (part 8 of article 95 of Law No. 44-FZ) due to the impossibility of its execution (article 416 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation).

Situation: can the customer change the name of the contractor in the concluded contract if there are documents confirming the change in the name of the contractor

Yes maybe. The name of the contractor is not an essential condition of the contract (Clause 1, Article 432 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation). The change of the contractor is not carried out, as it remains the same, but with a new name.

The same applies to changes in the name of a legal entity in connection with bringing it into line with the norms of Chapter 4. Civil Code Russian Federation (clause 7, article 3 of the Law of May 5, 2014 No. 99-FZ “On Amending Chapter 4 of Part One of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation and on Recognizing Certain Provisions of Legislative Acts of the Russian Federation as Invalid”). For example, if the open joint-stock company to a public joint stock company.

What should the customer do after making changes to the contract?

After the parties have entered into an additional agreement to the contract that changed its terms, the customer is obliged:

  1. Send information about the changes made to the contract to the Treasury of Russia within three working days from the date of conclusion of such an agreement (part 3 of article 103 of Law No. 44-FZ). The procedure for sending such information is established in the following acts:

In this case, the customer is not entitled to increase the volume of purchased utilities, as well as the price of the contract by more than 10%.

In the event that the customer needs an additional volume of services and such volume exceeds 10% of the contract price, then the customer should purchase the specified volume by concluding a new contract.

If the question is only on an increase in the contract price due to an increase in regulated legislative level prices (tariffs) for utilities, the customer and the contractor, regardless of whether such a condition is provided for by the contract, have the right to conclude an additional agreement to the contract to increase the price of the contract (without increasing the volume). The customer is not bound by the 10% limit.
