The prosecutor’s office of the city of Sevastopol checked the legality of the conclusion of a state contract for the supply of tables for pathological autopsy for the needs of the city’s medical institutions.
It was established that in 2019, a commercial organization participated in the preparation of technical specifications for the purchase and the formation of the initial (maximum) contract price in order to supply this equipment at an inflated cost. The actions of an official of the Sevastopol State Budgetary Institution “Medical Information and Analytical Center” — a customer and a representative of a commercial organization — were given a criminal legal assessment. A criminal case has been initiated, which is currently under consideration by the court. Despite the efforts made by the defendants, in 2019 another company won the electronic auction for the supply of goods. The contract with her was concluded and subsequently fulfilled. However, in July 2020, the customer entered into another contract for the purchase of the same equipment with the previously planned supplier. Knowing that there was no need for another delivery, the unscrupulous contractor completed it and went to court demanding to recover 10 million rubles from the budget of the city of Sevastopol,” noted the press service of the Sevastopol prosecutor’s office.
The court of first instance granted the claim of the commercial organization, but the city prosecutor’s office entered into the arbitration case at the appeal stage. The prosecutor participating in the case presented the court with copies of the criminal case materials and materials of the prosecutor’s investigation, on the basis of which he gave an opinion on the illegality of the plaintiff’s demands. The Twenty-First Arbitration Court of Appeal agreed with the arguments of the prosecutor’s office and rejected the contractor’s claim.
After this, the city prosecutor’s office sent a statement of claim to the court to declare the contract invalid and impose on the commercial organization the obligation to remove the unclaimed equipment.
The Arbitration Court of Sevastopol satisfied the claim of the prosecutor’s office. The court’s decision did not enter into legal force.
