The Russian government has temporarily suspended the centralized procurement of office and antivirus software by the Russian Ministry of Digital Development for the needs of federal government agencies. The corresponding government decree was published on the legal information portal.
This document amends the finland whatsapp number database government resolution (No. 658), which launched in 2018 a mechanism for centralized procurement of Russian software by the Ministry of Digital Development (office and antivirus software) and the Federal Treasury (software for budget accounting) for the needs of federal government agencies. In particular, the provisions granting the Ministry of Digital Development authority to conduct such procurements have been suspended until the end of 2024.
Earlier, the Ministry of Digital Development, which prepared the draft of this resolution, explained the need to suspend the provisions on the centralized purchase of office and anti-virus software for a number of reasons.
"Ba the special procedure for providing federal executive authorities with software licenses through the centralized procurement of the Ministry of Digital Development of Russia, as stipulated by Resolution No. 658, has been in effect, a situation has currently arisen in which federal executive authorities do not have the right to independently purchase software licenses for their own needs due to the requirements of Resolution No. 658, while the Ministry of Digital Development of Russia cannot make a purchase due to the absence of an indication of the source of funding in the regulatory legal acts of the Russian Federation," the ministry noted in an explanatory note to the then draft legal regulation.
The fact is that previously, centralized procurement of software for government agencies was carried out within the framework of the national program "Digital Economy of the Russian Federation", and in 2019, the Ministry of Digital Development concluded government contracts for the supply of the necessary software in the amount of 1.03 billion rubles. Since 2021, the event for the centralized procurement of software for government agencies has been excluded from the national program.
"The budget allocations for the implementation of the national program "Digital Economy of the Russian Federation" provided for by Federal Law No. 466 "On the Federal Budget for 2023 and for the Planning Period of 2024 and 2025" have been fully distributed in accordance with its goals and objectives; there is no undistributed funding," the explanatory note said. "In this regard, the implementation by the Ministry of Digital Development of the Russian Federation of the powers provided for by Resolution No. 658 in 2023-2025 will require the allocation of additional budget allocations from the federal budget."
The note also noted that a significant portion of federal executive authorities have already begun to use domestic software, and therefore in the future these government agencies may purchase such software independently.
It was also noted that the mechanism of centralized software procurement itself is not effective enough due to the lengthy process of transferring software licenses to federal executive authorities and the lack of centralized tools for monitoring the activation date and volume of license use. According to the Ministry of Digital Development, this leads to a decrease in responsibility and motivation on the part of federal executive authorities for the timely use of licenses and, "in this regard, a reduction in their useful life."
