Отдельные вопросы участия лиц с инвалидностью вгосударственных закупках в Республике Казахстан

Abstract

Many countries around the world are actively incorporating elements of sustainability in their public procurement contracts. One of these elements is the social aspect that allows states to deal with the unemployment of persons with disabilities while also ensuring that their needs for goods and services are met. To achieve the above goal, the state, when conducting public procurement, provides certain advantages to public associations of persons with disabilities of the Republic of Kazakhstan and (or) organizations that are created by public associations of persons with disabilities of the Republic of Kazakhstan, provided that they produce goods and (or) supply goods, perform work, provide services. This article examines the procedure for legal regulation and provision of advantages to certain categories of participants in public procurement and identifies gaps that affect the possibility and effectiveness of their participation to improve the current state that involves such persons who participate in public procurement. The article draws conclusions from the problems of unfair use of benefits of the state for persons with disabilities by other persons who do not have the right to it, and also considering various schemes for withdrawing funds. In other terms, the current legislation which was aimed to satisfy the needs of persons with disabilities giving opportunities to exercise their rights has not been achieved. The article also promotes the idea to provide benefits for categories of social entrepreneurship entities and organizations whose activities are aimed at solving social problems through their participation in public procurement.
