The chamber after criticism of the agencies for the fulfillment of the budgets of the projects expanded the control over the expenditure of funds with regard to public procurement. Monitoring based on Federal Treasury data will become public and will allow you to track the progress of the procurement campaign in the year. While monitoring shows that the “coronarita” only exacerbated the problem of “fiscal overhang” — the concentration of a significant part of expenditures at the end of the year. Government action has not had a stimulating effect on the transfer procurement in the first half, the expenditure on minor projects, and peak procurement should be again expected in November-December.Claim the role of chief digital controller projects the chamber has published the monitoring of budget expenditures on procurement for projects — it is assumed that the data on the portal spending.gov.ru will be updated once a month. While users have access to four indicators: the share of single providers and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in these contracts, contract load of performers (the ratio of the number of contracts among companies) and the status of contracts (ratio of planned and spent funds). Data on the procurement campaign for the national projects derived from the monthly Treasury reports on budget execution and integrated information system in the procurement sector operator which is also FC. Recall that information about the procurement of contractors for projects included in the EIS of 2019 de facto the chamber has made data on expenditure contracts for public projects and are available for comparative analysts in the year. Quarterly monitoring of the Ministry of Finance is published with a delay (in 2020 such data yet), the first report on financial performance of public procurement in 2019 in the context of national projects were presented by the office in June and showed the excess of their actual volume in comparison with the planned expenses (see “Kommersant” on 3 June). While in the chamber in a series of reports pointed to the under-spending of projects: according to Gosudarev in 2019 unused remaining 8.5% of the budget allocation for the national projects (see “Kommersant” on 13 January, 6, 20 and 21 February). In response to criticism White house chief Mikhail Mishustin instructed the government to optimize the contract system and to solve the “fiscal overhang” — the practice of concluding contracts in the second half of the year.By 15 June the maximum expenditure on procurement shows the national project “Education” (18% of planned expenditures, or 16.7 bn). Next with 10% followed by SMEs (RUB 0.6 billion) and infrastructure project (RUB 21 billion). The execution of the project for small business supported the cost for the state for SMEs background of the pandemic, the execution of infrastructure projects, given uninterrupted time coronavirus restrictions and the relatively expensive contracts shows the underspending. For other procurement projects, the execution does not exceed 8%. De facto the problem of the “fiscal overhang” in 2020 will not be resolved and will only get worse due to coronavirus restrictions, despite the government measures on the transfer procurement for the second quarter to support the economy.Diana Galieva 2019 actual volume of purchases by the government 12% more than planned and amounted to 8.2 trillion rubles in particular, the projects the contractors contracted by 1.3 trillion rubles against the planned 0.9 trillion rubles, follows from the monitoring of public procurement of the Ministry of Finance. Such indicators beaten out from the General data of the accounting chamber on insufficient funds of the national projects, but confirm the assumption of Gosudarev about problems in the planning activities of state agencies. In the White house cause undeveloped resources of national projects has previously described the complexity of the contract system.Read more
