Pre-contractual liability in the field of public procurement

Dmitrieva M. S.

The presence in the procedure for concluding state contracts of a mandatory, legally stipulated stage – holding a tender (auction, request for quotations) for the selection of suppliers (contractors, performers) - makes it necessary to apply pre-contractual liability measures to violators of the established procedure for placing state orders. Pre-contractual liability in relations for the supply of goods, the performance of works, and the provision of services for state needs has a dual character: the state customer for violations committed at the bidding stage bears both civil and administrative responsibility, and the participant in the procurement procedure, which is a private person, – civil liability.
