Rice. 3. Form example

Send the quotation request by mail or deliver it personally to the address indicated in the notice. When submitting an application, we recommend that you take a receipt from the customer on receipt of the application, indicating the date and time.

How to withdraw or change a quotation order

A participant can change (withdraw) a quotation bid only if the customer made adjustments to the notice of a quotation request already after the bid was submitted by the participant.

Procedure for determining the winner in quotation bids

The quotation commission opens envelopes with bids at the time and place specified in the notice.

Procurement participants who submitted bids or their representatives may be present at the opening procedure. The absence of participants in quotation orders does not cancel the procedure for opening envelopes.

The winner of the request for quotations, in accordance with Part 6 of Art. 78 of the Federal Law No. 44, a participant is recognized who has submitted an application that meets all the requirements established in the notice, and which indicates the lowest price of goods, work or services.

Reasons for rejecting an application

  • Applications do not meet the requirements specified in the notice;
  • The price of goods, work or services offered in bids exceeds the initial maximum price of the contract specified in the notice;
  • The participant of the request for quotations did not provide the documents stipulated by Part 3 of Art. 73 FZ No. 44.

The contract is concluded with the customer not earlier than seven days from the date of placement of the protocol for consideration of applications and not later than twenty days from the date of signing the protocol.

If the request for quotations did not take place, then the customer concludes a contract with sole supplier(contractor, performer) in accordance with paragraph 25 of part 1 of Art. 93 FZ No. 44.

Reasons for failed requests for quotes

The request for quotations may not take place for the following reasons:

  • If at the end of the deadline for submitting applications for participation in the request for quotations, only one application has been submitted;
  • If, based on the results of consideration of applications for participation in the request for quotations, only one application is found to comply with the requirements and requirements specified in the notice;
  • All applications that were submitted were rejected;
  • Applications were not submitted at all.

If, as a result of consideration, all applications are rejected, the customer extends the deadline for submission by four working days.

The participant has the right to choose how to submit quotes. By law, this can be done both in paper form and in the form of an electronic document signed with an EDS. The main condition is the confidentiality of information.

Although the law allows filing remotely, this option cannot actually be used. The necessary functionality has not yet been implemented in the EIS. According to clause 2 of Government Decree No. 36 of January 23, 2015, the Cabinet of Ministers instructed the Federal Treasury to ensure the possibility of sending a package of documents for participation in determining a supplier through the UIS no later than January 1, 2017. Then this deadline was postponed to 01/01/2018.

In addition to the resolution, let's pay attention to bill No. 623906-6, which proposes to remove from Art. 77, Law No. 44-FZ wording that relates to the filing of applications in digital form. It is planned to add a completely new paragraph, which will regulate the conduct of such a procedure in digital form for transactions in the amount of not more than 500,000 rubles. At the same time, the terms and place of publication of the notice and the draft contract, making changes to them will remain the same.

It is planned to submit proposals for such a procedure through the ETP only by accredited suppliers. And the application will consist of one part and a proposal new price signed with EDS.

How to apply by email

There is an acute question about the possibility of sending a request to the customer by e-mail, which is indicated in the notice. Arbitrage practice on this issue is ambiguous.

For example, on March 28, 2016, the Supreme Court in case No. 304-KG16-1289 determined that the reference by the customer in the notice of the request for quotations to the email address without the wording that the proposals are submitted by the participants through the EIS should be qualified as allowing the filing of an application for participation in the request quotes to the customer's e-mail.

A comprehensive analysis of the norms of 44-FZ leads us to completely opposite conclusions. It is quite obvious that electronic document and email are two different documents. At the same time, the e-mail, which is indicated in the documentation, is purely for reference and does not legally give the right to send applications to it. The letter, which is sent to e-mail, does not provide confidentiality, and also does not guarantee that the customer will receive it.

These conclusions are confirmed by the practice of the antimonopoly service, which indicates the inadmissibility of including provisions on electronic filing in the request for quotations. At the same time, complaints from suppliers about the restriction of the method of submitting bids paper look are also found to be unfounded.

To summarize the above, sending an offer by e-mail, you risk getting rejected. After that, if you decide to prove that you are right, based on the definition Supreme Court, you expect serious costs and long litigation. It is much more expedient to collect a standard package of documents and send it to the customer in live form on purpose or through a courier.

Standard set for request for quotation

Announcing such a procedure, the customer places a notice in the EIS, which includes a form to be filled out by the supplier, as well as a list of other mandatory requirements:

  1. Name and details of the participant.
  2. Agreeing to comply with the conditions specified in the notice.
  3. Names and characteristics of the supplied goods (if any).
  4. Contract price.
  5. Documentary confirmation of the participant's right to receive benefits (Article 28, 44-FZ).
  6. TIN of the founders of the supplier or individual.
  7. For the procurement procedure, the customer also publishes a notice in the EIS, on the basis of which the participants prepare their proposals. Further, the purchase is carried out in the usual manner.

Quote Request – competitive way selection of a supplier for public procurement, provided for federal law 44-FZ. Simple and therefore popular. In this article, we will consider the features of its procedure, we will analyze step by step how the supplier participates, and how to ensure that the application is not rejected. The material will be useful to those who have never participated in this method of procurement.


Request for Quotations is the most suitable option for starting tendering activities. It is used for small-scale purchases, up to 500 thousand rubles, its procedure is simple, understandable and clearly regulated: the supplier finds a purchase of interest to him on the EIS website, considers the notice with the terms of the contract and sends the customer a letter with his price offer. This type tenders refers to "paper" tenders - it takes place not in electronic form on the ETP, but by filling out a paper application and physically transferring it to the customer. All envelopes received are opened on the same day and the lowest bidder is selected as the winner without further bidding.

Why request for quotations is more convenient than other methods of supplier selection

Participating in a request for quotation is easier than participating in larger trades for a number of reasons:

  • No digital signature required.
  • No participation fee – application security.
  • Applications can be submitted until the commission begins to open the envelopes.
  • Fewer documents need to be prepared.
  • There is no penalty for dumping even if the price drops by more than 25%.

The only disadvantage of the request for quotations for the supplier is that it is impossible to find out what was in other bids, even when they have already been opened. This leaves the customer the opportunity to choose the winner of "his". To prevent this from happening, it is better to be personally present at the opening of the envelopes.


Customers prefer request for quotations because it is fast: the entire procedure from publication of a notice to signing of a contract can be completed in about 3 working weeks. However, restrictions are imposed on the volume of purchases carried out in this way: for the year they should not exceed 10% of all purchases of the customer, for an amount not exceeding 100 million rubles.

Step 1. Looking for suitable tenders

Independent search for any public procurement carried out through a single information system. Customers are obliged to publish all tenders in it: both “electronic” and “paper”.


To filter interesting purchases, on the main page of the site, click on the magnifying glass at the end of the search bar, then select “advanced search”.

fig.1 EIS search string in the field of procurement



fig.2 Selecting advanced search


Enter the required parameters. For example, 44-FZ, the method of purchase, indicate the region, your field of activity and select the stage “Applying”.



fig.3 Selection of parameters

How can a supplier evaluate the effectiveness of participating in a request for quotations?

Obviously, it is advisable to participate in the purchase when the possible profit exceeds the estimated costs. How can this be predicted and calculated?

  • Participation in any purchase conducted by a request for quotations is free of charge. However, the customer may require a performance security. The presence of what condition should be looked for in the notice. To this amount we add the costs of preparing the application and consulting services, if necessary.
  • The counterbalance of these costs will be payment under the contract - the amount that you yourself indicate in the application. It should be taken into account that in the request for quotations, the one who offered the lowest price wins. Therefore, the amount of the contract consists of the cost of goods (works/services) and the amount of the minimum net profit at which you are ready to take on the order.

Step 2. Studying the quotation documentation

It should include:

  • Procurement notice. It has identification code purchases, information about the customer, it is indicated whether the contract is required, where and when the results will be summed up, the requirements for the supplier and the list of documents that he needs to provide.
  • Description of the procurement object.
  • Justification of the initial maximum price (you can not offer a price higher than this).
  • Application form.
  • Contract project.

Step 3. Fill out and submit an application

In the Request for Quotations, as in other tenders, any inaccuracy in the application threatens to reject it. Therefore, you should carefully study the notice of purchase, the draft contract and the requirements from Part 3 of Article 73 of the 44-FZ.


Interestingly, the law allows you to submit an application for a request for quotations in electronic form. But this is provided only through the EIS system, in which such functionality is not yet available. Although some customers allow submission via e-mail, but only if the application is signed with an enhanced unqualified electronic signature.


The application form is contained in the notice of purchase. It must be downloaded, filled out, printed and packaged in an envelope. Let's go through the points that may raise questions:

  • Name and characteristics of the goods. Should be formulated as specifically as possible, without enumerations and ranges of values: no “table made of plastic or wood, or PVC with a width of 70-80 cm”. The exception is when the range is a specific value. For example, specifying “gravel with a fraction of 20 cm” is an error. Gravel elements cannot all be of the same size, therefore, the characteristic from GOST is indicated - “fraction 20-30 cm”. At the same time, the parameters of the goods in the application must remain within the ranges specified by the customer.
  • Documents confirming the right to receive benefits. To do this, you must attach a claim for benefits and a copy of the articles of association.
  • Details with the TIN of the founders and directors. You do not need to attach evidence - you can just write the numbers.

The application is printed on letterhead, signed by the head, stamped. The rest of the documents stipulated by the notice are drawn up in annexes.



fig.4 Sample of filling in a quotation order


The sheets of the application are packed in an envelope, it indicates the number of the notice, the name and address of the customer. You do not need to specify the sender, this information must remain confidential until the winner is determined. It is also desirable to write the date of the opening procedure directly on the envelope so that the customer's secretary dealing with correspondence does not accidentally open it earlier.

Step 3. Sending an application to the customer

As already mentioned, at the moment the quotation application cannot be sent online - only by mail, courier or with an authorized representative. The latter must remember to take the passport and power of attorney, make sure that the customer registers the application in the journal, and request a receipt indicating the date and time.


Considering that applications for a request for quotations are accepted until the commission has started opening the envelopes, and immediately before that, additional opportunity, it makes sense to come to the customer shortly before summing up and at the same time stay for the procedure.

How can I change or withdraw a request for quotation?

By law, a quotation bid can be changed or withdrawn only if the customer decides to change the terms of the purchase. If nothing has changed, but you still have such a need, submit another application for the same request. The customer is obliged to return without consideration all applications submitted by the participant, if more than one was received.

Step 4. Determination of the winner

The opening of envelopes with applications from all participants and the selection of the winner of the purchase are carried out on the same day. The customer is obliged to keep an audio recording of the procedure, and the commission loudly and clearly voice:

  • where, when and what time the autopsy takes place;
  • name and address of the participant;
  • the price they offered.

The winner is the participant who offered the lowest price if his application meets all the requirements. If there are several such participants, the winner is the one who submitted the application earlier.


Based on the results of the procedure, the customer draws up a protocol for the consideration and evaluation of applications and uploads it to the EIS. Accordingly, if you were not present at the opening of the envelopes, you will be able to find out who won the tender after publication. If the results of the purchase raise questions, you can contact the customer for an explanation of the results - in writing or by e-mail.

Step 5. We conclude an agreement

If you win the request for quotations, the customer sends you a draft contract filled in with the conditions from the notice and the price you offered, within 2 working days. You can sign it no earlier than 7 days later. However, if 20 days have passed from the date of signing the protocol, and the contract has not yet been signed, the participant is considered to have evaded. In this case, the tender is given to the supplier who takes second place. If this one also evaded, the customer conducts a request for quotations again.

What does "failed request for quotation" mean?

If a tender has the status “failed request for quotation” in the EIS, this does not mean at all that the purchase has not been made. It is declared invalid in two cases:

  • only one application meets the requirements;
  • all applications are rejected.

In the first case, the customer enters into a contract with a single supplier. In the latter, the application deadline is extended by another 4 days, and the customer invites at least 3 potential suppliers to participate.


We hope that this article will help you cope with the quotation documentation and get a profitable government order. Search and analysis of tenders is faster and easier with us, join us.
