There are really no rules in commercial bidding. For example, a tender may not have starting price lot or it can be 999,999,999 rubles.

The notice for a commercial tender may not indicate the region, which affects its issuance when searching in auction selection systems, but not in Seldon, which does not allow tenders of this kind.

After the end of the auction, the customer may conclude a contract not with the winner or not at all. Despite this, the organization of a commercial tender is the expression of the will of the organization exclusively. If an organization conducts electronic tenders, then it needs to purchase these products or services.

Where to look for commercial tenders

Commercial auctions are typically conducted on separate commercial electronic marketplaces. These tenders are not published on one website, like government tenders on the official government procurement website.

To find electronic tender according to your topic, you will have to manually search separately on each such site or use the previously mentioned Seldon system.

Large customers have their own commercial electronic trading platforms for trading. The main procurement activities are carried out on them.

RAO UES, for example, has created a single Internet resource for electric power companies (www.b2b-energo.ru). Such large companies, like Gazprom, Rosneft, Alfa Bank, VTB, have their own ETP.

Every industry has portals that combine information about tenders. You can also find portals on the Internet that seek to publish information about all commercial tenders. Such sites post notices and links to the customer’s website, where the tender documentation is located.

Choosing a venue commercial bidding directly depends on financial and organizational conditions. Platforms charge a subscription fee, a percentage of the transaction, or a one-time fee. Some ETPs charge only one of the participants in placing an order.

Application Procedure

Before starting the accreditation procedure and submitting an application for electronic trading, make sure that the electronic digital signature for trading supports this platform.

The procedure for submitting an application for electronic trading of this kind is as follows:

  • obtaining an electronic signature for participation in electronic trading with the ability to work on commercial sites;
  • submitting an application for participation in the tender in accordance with the customer’s rules, if any.

Benefits from conducting and participating in commercial auctions

For the customer, conducting tenders - real way save. Especially if the services (products, works) that are the subject of bargaining can be provided by many companies.

For a supplier, participation in commercial tenders is advisable if he is confident in the competitiveness of the product in certain respects, not necessarily in terms of price. Conduct a competitor analysis in advance and take measures to ensure that your products are the best offer on the market!

The state does not control this market segment; accordingly, organizations and companies can act freely within the framework of civil law.

The main difference between commercial tenders is that the organizer of such procurement is not the state or state corporations, and any commercial structures. If government auctions are regulated by 44-FZ or 223-FZ, then such procurements are regulated only by the Civil Code of the Russian Federation and 135-FZ “On the Protection of Competition”.

Thus, the following definition can be given:

Commercial tenders - these are purchases that are carried out by commercial organizations according to their own rules that do not contradict the Civil Code of the Russian Federation and 135-FZ, and using their own financial resources.

Some large companies create their own electronic trading platforms on which they organize the purchase of goods, works or services to meet their own needs. Also, on such ETPs, auctions can be held for the sale of goods or services of these corporations.

In other cases, participation in commercial tenders takes place on general trading platforms. Most often, to access the use of such ETPs, it is necessary to pay the tariff set by the site operator.

It is important to carefully study the requirements of a particular operator for participants:

  1. is electronic digital signature to participate in auctions;
  2. Are tariffs set for procurement participants or is free registration sufficient?
  3. if participation is paid, then study possible options tariffs and choose the most suitable one;
  4. pay attention to other conditions for working with the site.

The organizer of a commercial auction is given much more freedom than a government customer.

The customer, guided by Art. 448 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation has the right to independently establish the type of bidding - open and closed competitions or auctions.

Types of commercial procurement

When conducting open procurement, the notice is published on the commercial platform chosen by the customer and can be viewed by all interested potential participants. In closed procedures for identifying a supplier, notification is sent to a limited number of persons. Unlike government tenders, the customer should not place information about the ongoing tender in the Unified Information System.

According to Art. 448 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, the customer has the right to establish the procurement procedure, draw up a list of requirements for the participant, establish criteria for evaluating applications and demand from participants exactly those goods that are indicated in the notice, and not their equivalents.

Also, the terms of the contract, which is concluded based on the results of the tender, are established by the organizer of the tender and are displayed in the notice of procurement.

All information is contained in the notice published by the auction organizer.

  1. Information about the customer organization. Make the most of it to prepare tender documents. If this information is not enough for you, you can always use Internet resources.
    Pay special attention to the company's field of activity; the market segment it occupies; number of people in the state and other features.
  2. The purpose of the customer's participation in the auction. You can learn about it from the tender documentation. It usually includes two components: technical and commercial. In the first you will find information about the customer, a guide for suppliers, a plan for drawing up and submitting bids, etc. In commercial - cost, conditions and much more.
  3. Requirements for suppliers. For many customers, what is primarily important is the company’s time in the market, achievement of any significant results, experience in participating in similar competitions, as well as positive customer feedback.
  4. Requirements for the application form. Here the customer indicates those items that must be displayed in your proposal in order to participate in the auction. Because commercial procurement is not regulated in any way federal law, then, according to the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, the customer has the right to establish the most convenient conditions for himself.
  5. The main evaluation criteria by which the performer will be selected. Most often, this includes the price of the issue, time to complete the work, etc., but the tender organizer has the right to add a number of other parameters that are important for him
  6. Timing of the commercial tender. Basically, the date of the announcement of the tender, the beginning and end of accepting applications, as well as the approximate time of their consideration are recorded here. Most often, if the purchase is in the form of an auction, then 3-4 companies are selected with best offer prices and from these organizations one leader is singled out.

If the procurement is carried out in the form of a two-stage competition, then first a larger number of companies that meet the customer’s requirements are accepted, from which 2-3 organizations are then selected, and from them the winner is determined.

2. Clarification of all details and aspects of the competition. You can contact the customer to explain his position, conditions, purposes of participation in the auction, etc.

3. Preparation of applications for commercial tenders. Unfortunately, it is not uncommon for suppliers this stage becomes final. Participants can make following errors: provide an incomplete list of documents, be late with payment of security, forget about the need to create electronic signature etc. Even if all the documentation you send is in order, it is better to request confirmation of its receipt by the customer.

4. Presentation. At a special meeting, all competitors are given the opportunity to convince the auction organizers that they are the ones worthy of winning the tender. Here, potential suppliers have a fairly wide field of activity. One of the main rules is the visibility and accessibility of the information you provide. Operate with numbers, use graphs and diagrams, draw an analogy with the work of your company and competitors, voice feedback from existing clients, and you will be closer to victory.

In case of procurement in electronic form, the customer reviews the participants’ applications submitted to the ETP and, based on the data received, the winner of the commercial tender is determined.

5. Selecting the winner of commercial procurement. If the form of trading is carried out in the form of an auction, then the winner is the participant who meets all the requirements and offers the most high price. When holding a competition, the winner is the supplier who, by decision of the competition commission, offers the most favorable conditions.

6. Announcement of the results of commercial auctions. If the procurement was open, the results will be made public either at a general event. In cases where closed auctions are involved, all competitors are notified of the auction results separately.

It is worth noting that if only 1 supplier participates in the purchase, it is considered failed. The legislation also establishes other reasons for declaring a commercial auction invalid. There are cases when a purchase is declared invalid.

All the grounds and consequences of such a decision are reflected in Art. 449 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation.
