This was reported by the press service of the Cabinet.

“A decision was made to simplify the procurement procedure for medical devices, which will avoid their shortage.

The decree on this was signed by Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin.

It is noted that we are talking about the purchase of medical equipment, consumables for it and technical means of rehabilitation for the disabled.

“Now medical organizations will be able to purchase even more of these products under a simplified scheme - through an electronic request for quotations - which will significantly reduce the procurement time.

The initial price of the contract, at which it is allowed to use the simplified system, is increased from 3 million to 50 million rubles, ”the statement says.

The annual volume of purchases of medical devices under a simplified scheme is also increasing - from 100 to 750 million rubles.

Earlier, Mishustin signed a decree on a temporary ban on the export from Russia of foreign medical devices that were delivered from states that have joined the anti-Russian sanctions.
