Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu appealed to President Vladimir Putin with a request to grant the status of "sole executors" to 12 organizations so that they can start working without holding competitions. These organizations should be engaged in the construction, repair and reconstruction of special purpose facilities. In 2018-2027, about 1 trillion rubles will be allocated for these purposes, Kommersant writes .
Shoigu’s request says that it is necessary “to instruct the government to prepare an order to determine the organizations of the military construction complex as the only executors of the services provided by the department in 2018-2027.” Putin endorsed the document, agreeing with the proposal.
Giving organizations the status of “the only ones” will save the ministry from holding tenders and competitions, which will save a lot of time.
