    Question

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

    Answer

    The client, before summarizing the results of public procurement, has the right to refuse to carry them out in cases provided for in article 6, paragraph 10, of the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan "On state procurement". Specifically:

    1) Reduction of expenditure on 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) Making changes to the client’s strategic plan, budget or individual financing plan, which eliminates the need to purchase goods, works or services provided for in the approved annual public procurement plan, according to the legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan.


    In the case of changes requiring the purchase of goods, works or services, reapportionment of budget or funds allocated for these purposes to other customers, as well as changes to the annual plan, government procurement is not permitted.


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