AST GOZ electronic platform: how to register and start working. Constituent documents for accreditation for Ast Goz How much does it cost to work for Ast Goz

In 2015, on behalf of the Government of the Russian Federation, AST GOZ LLC, together with the Federal Antimonopoly Service and the Federal Security Service, began work on creating a specialized electronic trading platform for conducting closed procurement procedures for state defense orders.

The developers of the AST GOZ electronic platform faced a difficult task: to combine compliance with information security requirements with the most modern and advanced technologies in the field of electronic procurement.

When creating the electronic platform, significant attention was paid to the issues of import substitution. The use of domestically produced computer equipment, certified cryptographic information protection tools and an operating system that provides the ability to process information with a degree of secrecy up to and including “top secret” - all this made it possible to achieve the maximum level of protection of information about purchases carried out on the AST GOZ electronic platform.

In 2016, tests were carried out on the automated bidding system AST GOZ with the involvement of representatives FAS Russia, Ministry of Defense of Russia, Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, a leading electronic platform "Sberbank - AST" and government corporations. Based on the test results, a positive conclusion was given that the site was ready to be put into permanent operation for closed procurement procedures.

The specialized electronic platform AST GOZ is a unique, innovative solution that has no analogues in the field of procurement, combining maximum ease of use and full compliance with information security requirements.

The key features of the site include the following:

• information is transmitted in a secure environment, closed to public access;
• the integrity of electronic documents, confirmation of their authorship and protection from distortion are ensured through the use of electronic signatures;
• the information protection system from unauthorized access is built using certified software and hardware;
• Strict recording of connected subscribers helps prevent possible threats and risks of information compromise.

Representing AST GOZ, Deputy Chairman of the Government of the Russian Federation Dmitry Rogozin noted that the launch of the site will significantly increase the efficiency of the process and eliminate the risks of unfair competition, as well as increase the transparency of procedures for regulatory authorities. Closedness of the sphere state defense order does not mean that it is impossible to solve problems to increase efficiency - you need to look for the right and accessible tools, one of which will be electronic procurement procedures carried out on the AST GOZ site.

President, Chairman of the Board of Sberbank PJSC German Gref reported that not only purchases within the framework of the State Defense Order can be placed on the AST state defense order, but also other large government orders. “The site was built in such a way that all customers wanted to place their contracts there, not only those related to defense orders. And in this sense, it can grow into a large segment with the inclusion of new purchases that are carried out for the state defense order, or by enterprises that are engaged in fulfilling the order,” German Gref is sure.

“We can safely say that the result of the work is a unique system that incorporates our best experience in the field of electronic trading. In turn, participation in the project allowed us to further expand the boundaries of our capabilities and see prospects for further work on electronic services,” noted Nikolay Andreev, General Director of Sberbank-AST CJSC.

General Director of LLC "AST GOZ" Felix Kordish drew attention to the fact that the new platform will allow you to take advantage of all the advantages and technologies of open electronic platforms when conducting closed procedures: short terms, cost savings on organizing and conducting tenders, transparency of the procurement process, equal rights for all participants, the ability to participate in tenders from anywhere in the country, end-to-end electronic document management using electronic signatures. A distinctive feature will be the interaction of the electronic platform with the secure telecommunications infrastructure of the GAS GOZ, within which the AST GOZ will serve as a source of information for the information and analytical system for comparing prices for similar goods in the civil sphere and state defense order.

LLC "AST GOZ" has already signed agreements with state corporations Roscosmos, Rosatom and Rostec, providing for bilateral interaction and cooperation on issues of conducting electronic closed procurement procedures, in connection with which their holding companies connected to the electronic platform to carry out their procurement activities.

Since March 2017, AST GOZ has already been purchasing goods, works and services necessary to fulfill the state defense order, which, in accordance with Part 16 of Art. 4 of the Federal Law of July 18, 2011 No. 223-FZ“On the procurement of goods, works, services by certain types of legal entities” are included in the lists of goods, works, services, information about which does not constitute a state secret, but is not subject to placement in the unified information system in the field of procurement.

The procedure for connecting to the secure network of the AST GOZ electronic platform is posted on the website of AST GOZ LLC on the Internet information and telecommunications network www.astgoz.ru

A detailed study of federal legislation in the field of state defense orders and regulations is becoming especially important today.

The Defense Media agency and the editors of the magazine "New Defense Order. Strategies" regularly hold conferences on topical issues of execution of the state defense order, in which leading specialists from the Ministry of Defense, FAS Russia, the Ministry of Finance, the Federal Treasury and other departments participate.

We invite you to conferences on issues of execution of state defense orders with the participation of leading specialists from the Ministry of Defense and the Federal Antimonopoly Service of the Russian Federation.

Re: Discussion: subsidiary site AST GOZ If you didn’t receive an invitation, then there’s no special show-off. Just keep in mind that the registration procedure there takes more than a month, so when the invitation arrives, it will be too late. I need the order that we worked with before in January called and said that we will now only be at AST GOZ. The schedule includes several purchases on your topic in March-April. Take note. And we immediately ran to register. Three weeks, the invoice has been paid, the status is - we are waiting for documents. The invitation comes to those, Dear, who have worked with these structures. Here we have three dozen contracts with USC Western Military District, Border Guards of St. Petersburg and Leningrad Region, Border Guards of Karelia. Anyone who has never worked with them will not receive invitations to procedures. We are 29.01.

Accreditation for Ast Goz LLC

The founders of the new trading platform AST GOZ were Sberbank-AST CJSC together with the Rostec State Corporation. The level of information security was checked by representatives of three security agencies: the Russian Ministry of Defense, the Russian FSB and the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs. CJSC Sberbank-AST provided access to electronic trading technologies, provided competencies in all aspects of order placement, training, financial services, and talked about the creation of individual solutions and personalized services for major customers.
The result of the joint work of the departments was maximum security and the most modern electronic procurement technologies. AST GOZ implements electronic document management using electronic signatures, as well as a multi-level system for protecting information from unauthorized access.

According to Kommersant, the largest state-owned companies intend to seek clarification from the government regarding the White House directives on anti-sanctions measures and the transfer of their competitive procurement to the “automated system of bidding for state defense orders” (AST GOZ), the same name as the electronic trading platform (ETP) of Sberbank. State-owned companies doubt its feasibility. Participants in the government procurement market do not understand which procurement procedures are limited by the new order and oppose the monopolization of “secret” procurement.

Questions from state-owned companies and ETP operators, where legal entities with state participation place purchases within the framework of Law 223-FZ, were raised by a directive approved by First Deputy Prime Minister Igor Shuvalov on November 24 (see Kommersant on December 8). The document refers to the list of state-owned joint-stock companies approved by government decree No. 91-r dated January 23, 2003 (it includes Gazprom, Rosneft, Russian Railways, Rosseti, Rostelecom, etc.). However, in the annex to the directive (or its draft), which was at the disposal of Kommersant, a different list of 126 companies is indicated - of which only four are included in the 91-r list. Presumably, “list 126” is a list of legal entities whose transactions with state-owned companies should be anonymized, but there is no mechanism for calculating such transactions.

According to market participants, the instructions themselves are even more vaguely formulated. State Autonomous Okrug (from the list of order No. 91-r) must approve the possibility of non-disclosure of information about individual transactions within the framework of Federal Law-223 (counterparties will participate in them under numbers) and transfer all “competitive purchases” to the “automated state defense order bidding system.” This name coincides with the name of the Sberbank site - Automated System of State Defense Order Bidding LLC (AST GOZ), but the legal entity itself is not specified in the directive. Whether the order means that all currently open procurements should now be carried out in closed procedures, and whether sites selected by customers have the right to place them, remains unclear either to the customers themselves or to the ETP operators. The directive also does not contain any deadlines for its implementation by the boards of directors of state-owned joint stock companies. The amendments to the legislation adopted on December 6 by the State Duma in the first reading, regulating closed procurement in cases approved by federal law or the government, do not add clarity - they must take place on a special ETP, for the selection of which special requirements must be approved, but the law has yet to be adopted.

According to Kommersant, state-owned companies have already tried to unofficially obtain clarification of the directive from the FAS and the Ministry of Finance, but have not received a response. Therefore, they intend to jointly appeal to the government, including with a proposal to enable all ETPs to provide state-owned companies with services similar to the state defense procurement platform. The sites can be rebuilt in a month, their managers say.

Kommersant’s sources fear that the requirements will be developed to monopolize the market for the AST GOZ, noting that the head of Sberbank German Gref had previously proposed monopolizing this infrastructure.

At the same time, AST GOZ, according to them, has no trading experience - it works with a narrow circle of suppliers for the GOZ. Monopolization will not only lead to the liquidation of the ETP market (more than a hundred sites, purchases by state companies are estimated at 26 trillion rubles per year), but will also deprive customers of the choice of auction organizer.

AST GOZ and its founder Sberbank-AST do not comment on the directive. Executive Director of the ETPRF platform (serves Rostec, Transneft and Rosselkhozbank) Alexander Geller notes that there is no act that would interpret what an “automated bidding system for state defense procurement” is, and the AST GOZ platform is not integrated with the Unified Information System for procurement, where it is necessary to publish at least notices about them. In addition, when switching to it, about 200 thousand suppliers will be forced to buy software from the Russian company Infotex (the State Defense Committee runs on it), spending about 2 billion rubles. The head of the Gazprombank site, Mikhail Konstantinov, confirmed to Kommersant that the existing ETPs can ensure the information security of customers, and to close information about purchases, it is enough not to publish the winner and the amount. The head of ETP Fabrikant, Sergei Gabestro, is also against the monopoly. “Competition encourages ETPs to develop new services, invest in the creation of new software products and improve the quality of services,” he says.

Anna Pushkarskaya, St. Petersburg

The AST GOZ procurement site began operating in 2017. It conducts closed procedures within the framework of state defense orders, and also places other large government orders. We will tell you further how to work on the specialized electronic platform AST GOZ.

Trading platform AST GOZ

In 2019, Government Decree No. 223 dated February 28, 2019 was issued. It approved the rules for conducting closed procedures at the AST GOZ site. It has been established that the Ministry of Defense, the FSB and the Foreign Intelligence Service, as well as the institutions subordinate to them, are required to conduct the following electronic procurements on the ETP: closed competition, closed competition with limited participation, closed two-stage competition and closed auction. The rules of procedure are spelled out in a separate provision. The new requirements must be applied from July 1, 2019.

How to register

The first step is registration in the unified information system. It takes place electronically. The procedure is contained in Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation dated December 30, 2018 No. 1752. A legal entity will require the following information and documents:

• Name;
• reason code for registration with the Federal Tax Service;
• registration number of a legal entity;
• address;
• activity code;
• belonging to the SMP or SONCO;
• Full name of the manager and his passport details;
• Website address;
• contacts;
• copies of constituent documents;
• decision on consent to major transactions;
• extract from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities.

For IP you will need:

• residence address;

• contacts;
• passport details;
• OGRNIP;
• date of registration as an individual entrepreneur;
• belonging to the SMP indicating the category;

You need to register through the “Personal Account of the Procurement Participant”; in order to log into it, you will need an electronic signature. Procurement participants are included in the register. The Federal Treasury is responsible for this. Registration is given for 3 years.

You cannot work for AST GOZ without accreditation. Please note: if a participant will participate in procurement with state secrets, he must have a license. Until the end of 2019, you can independently accredit yourself to the ETP by submitting documents. Since 2020, the site operator issues accreditation only on the basis of an application, provided that the participant is in the unified register of procurement participants.

There is also a register of participants in closed electronic procedures. All those accredited for AST GOZ go there.

Eight questions about the operation of the electronic platform for the supplier

Since 2019, the rules for the work of suppliers on electronic platforms have changed. All procurement methods under Law No. 44-FZ have become electronic, so both the functionality of the platforms and the actions of procurement participants on the sites have changed. There are now eight selected sites for government procurement and the rules for working on them are the same, despite some differences in regulations. In this issue, we asked questions about the work of the sites to Elena Kochetkova, head of the external communications service of TEK-Torg JSC.

Connection cost

Registration on the AST GOZ trading platform is free for both customers and suppliers. However, access to procurement is impossible without purchasing ViPNet software; you will have to pay about 10 thousand rubles for it.

Regulations

The operating regulations can be found in the “Documents” section. There are rules for working in the system, instructions, document templates, and workplace requirements.

The user manual describes the procedure for connecting to the AST GOZ. It describes in detail how to organize a secure communication channel from the procurement specialist’s workplace to the information resources of the AST GOZ electronic platform. Also in the section, see instructions on setting up a workstation for working with digital signature certificates, setting up an automated workstation, obtaining ViPNet software and key sets, installing ViPNet Clien software, connecting to a secure network, etc.

Let us dwell on the documents that the participant must develop and approve. These are regulations for the use of cryptographic information protection, an act of installation of cryptographic information protection, and a log of cryptographic information protection information. Document templates can be found in the “Home” - “Documentation” - “Instructions” section. In addition, the user is required to limit access to CIPF to a specific list of employees, as well as organize measures for anti-virus protection of computers.

To conduct a procurement with state secrets, enter the information into the plan and schedule and obtain approval from the FAS. Choose a supplier using closed methods. Maintain secrecy at all stages and do not publish information in the Unified Information System. Read more about how to conduct a procurement with state secrets and how they will be punished if you break the secrecy.

How to work

Customers send invitations to participants to a closed procedure. How does this happen? The customer requests from the ETP operator information from the register that meets the criteria. The request must indicate the requirements for participants, including the availability of necessary permissions. AST GOZ responds to requests within an hour and provides data. Next, the customer generates a list of potential participants in the procedure, transfers them to the site operator, who, in turn, sends them invitations.

If special permits and admissions are not required to participate in the procurement, a list of potential participants is not compiled. The customer simply sends invitations to the AST GOZ operator and asks them to send closed electronic procedures to accredited participants.

If necessary, a notice is placed in the EIS. This must be done 1 business day before the date of sending the invitation to the operator of a specialized electronic platform.

Invitations will not be sent to participants who:

• no accreditation;
• there is no entry in the register of participants in closed procedures;
• 3 months or less left until the end of accreditation;
• there is no license with the required degree of secrecy.

Documentation about the procedure is attached to the invitations. If a notice is posted, any participant who has read it has the right to request documentation from the AST GOZ operator. The request is processed within an hour. Only those participants who have received documentation can apply for the procedure. The application is submitted to the ETP operator, it is processed within an hour and a notification is sent to the participant. An application may not be accepted if:

• safety requirements are violated;
• 2 or more applications were submitted by one participant;
• the deadline for submitting applications has been missed;
• there are less than 3 months left until the end of the participant’s accreditation;
• the participant is on the register of unscrupulous suppliers.
