OREANDA-NEWS. June 08, 2008. Savelovsky District Court, Moscow, confirmed validity of the resolutions passed by the Federal Antimonopoly Service (FAS Russia) on administrative charges against members of the Tender Commission of the Federal Agency for Air Transport, reported the press-centre of FAS Russia.

In December 2007, FAS Russia fined every member of the Tender Commission - Ye.V. Bachourin, P.Yu. Clark and A.K. Orlov - 30000 Rubles for violating the bids selection procedures (Part 2 Article 7.30 of the Code of Administrative Violations).

Earlier FAS Russia received a complaint of "Firam NITA" Ltd. against the actions of the Ordering Party - the Federal Agency for Air Transport - in an open bidding for governmental contracts for development, manufacturing and supplying end-to-end flight simulators YaK 18-Т series 36.

The Tender Commission violated the law because is accepted the bid of "Peredovie Tekhnologii [Advanced Technologies] 2000" CJSC, which did not met the requirements specified in the tender documentation, namely: the bid did not contain a copy of the license for manufacturing aviation machinery, including double purpose двойного назначения machinery. It contravened Part 1 Article 12 of the Federal Law "On Violating Procurement …".

FAS Russia brought administrative charges against the members of the Tender Commission who allowed the violations. Having considered the case, the Antimonopoly Service issued the resolutions to fine the violators.

Ye.V. Bachourin, P.Yu. Clark and A.K. Orlov disagreed and approached Savelovsky District Court. The Court, however, found their arguments ungrounded, which confirmed validity of the FAS Russia's resolutions.
