Strengthening national treatment in procurements: overview of recent developments

We would like to draw your attention to the strengthening national treatment in procurements.

On December 23, 2024, the Government of the Russian Federation issued the Decree No. 1875 “On Measures to Provide National Treatment in Procurement of Goods, Works and Services for State and Municipal Needs and Procurement of Goods, Works and Services by Сertain Types of Legal Entities” (“Decree”).

This Decree seeks to strengthen national treatment by extending it to a large part of procurements and applies to both competitive procurement (for example, (1) biddings, (2) auctions, and others) and non-competitive procurements from a single supplier.

Here you may find an overview of the major innovations in this area.
