    In what cases can the customer refuse to conclude a contract?

    Answer

    Before summing up the results of public procurement, the customer has the right to refuse to carry out them in cases stipulated by paragraph 10 of Article 6 of the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan "On Public Procurement." Namely:

    1) reduction of expenses for goods, works and services specified in the annual public procurement plan in case of adjustment of the budget or draft budget in accordance with the legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

    2) amendments to the strategic plan, budget or individual financing plan of the customer, which eliminates the need to purchase goods, works or services provided for in the approved annual public procurement plan, in accordance with the legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

    If changes are made that provide for the need to purchase goods, works or services, redistribution of the budget or funds allocated for these purposes to other customers, as well as changes in the annual plan, public procurement is not allowed.

    Thus, the Customer may refuse to purchase on the grounds specified in accordance with the requirements of the Law.
