ArmInfo. In Armenia, the procedure for conducting electronic trading will change. The decision on this was made at a meeting of the RA Government on January 30. According to the Minister of Finance of the Republic of Armenia Atom Dzhandzhugazyan, the change in the procedure for electronic trading was the result of monitoring in procurement system. The purpose of the presented document is to exclude cartel conspiracies. Often there are times when a bidder who won the auction does not sign the contract for one reason or another. In this case, the minister continued, the second participant comes into force, having offered a higher price for the service.
Today's decision of the government establishes a provision according to which, upon refusal to conclude an agreement on the supply of goods and services, the results of the auction are invalid. "The logic of the government is that both bidders can come to a cartel conspiracy, as a result of which the cost of services and goods increases. Now this loophole will be eliminated," the Minister of Finance emphasized.
