Responsible Procurement
In the procurement of goods, works and services Transneft Group is guided by Federal Law
Transneft is guided by the following principles in the procurement of goods, works and services:
- information transparency;
- equality, fairness, no discrimination or unreasonable restrictions of competition in relation to procurement parties;
- targeted and economically efficient spending on the procurement of goods, works and services (taking into account the cost of the life cycle of the products purchased, if necessary), and measures to reduce the purchaser’s expenditures;
- unlimited access to participation in procurement activities due to absence of immeasurable requirements for participants.
Transneft also conducts online procurement of goods, works and services which are not included in the Procurement Act; thus, the share of Transneft’s online purchases is constantly increasing.
Confidentiality of the information provided by participants is one of the principles of online procurement. In practice, online procurement is organized by operators of online platforms who transfer documents and information between procurement participants and the purchaser in a timely manner, in full and ensuring confidentiality of submitted bids. The operators of these e-commerce resources are independent from Transneft. The whole process promotes conscientious competition, publicity and transparency of procurement policies, preventing corruption and other abuses.
