Who is subject to professional standards?

The professional standards "Specialist in the field of procurement" and "Expert in the field of procurement" have been developed Russian Academy national economy and public service, taking into account the requirements of the legislation of the Russian Federation in the field of professional standards and higher professional education.

From the terms of reference for the competition for the right to develop these professional standards, it is clear that the sample on the basis of which the layouts of professional standards were tested did not include customers under 223-FZ. From this we can conclude that professional standards were developed without taking into account the law on procurement.

Professional standards "Specialist in the field of procurement", "Expert in the field of procurement" were approved by orders of the Ministry of Labor of Russia dated September 10, 2015 No. 625n and 626n.

What is a "Procurement Scope"?

First you need to understand in which area a specialist should work in order to meet the level professional standard.

44-FZ Article 3 paragraph 3

Procurement of goods, work, services to meet state or municipal needs (hereinafter referred to as "purchase") - a set of actions carried out in accordance with the procedure established by this Federal Law by the customer and aimed at meeting state or municipal needs. The purchase begins with the identification of the supplier (contractor, performer) and ends with the fulfillment of obligations by the parties to the contract. If, in accordance with this Federal Law, it is not provided for the placement of a notice on the implementation of the procurement or the sending of an invitation to participate in the selection of the supplier (contractor, performer), the procurement begins with the conclusion of the contract and ends with the fulfillment of obligations by the parties to the contract;

That is, the concept of "purchase" is not clearly defined by Law No. 223-FZ. From the author's point of view, procurement is the satisfaction of the needs of legal entities specified in part 2 of article 1 of Law No. 223-FZ for goods, works, services with the necessary indicators of price, quality and reliability.

What is a "Procurement Specialist"?

From the point of view of 44-FZ, a procurement specialist is one who carries out a set of actions carried out in the manner prescribed by 44-FZ and aimed at meeting state or municipal needs.

Occupation groups All-Russian classifier of occupations (OKZ) OK 010-2014 (MSKZ-08)

If you look at the structure of any professional standard, developers always distinguish a group of classes in All-Russian classifier classes.

The line "Occupation group" indicates the name of one or more base groups classes in accordance with the OKZ, correlated with the generalized labor functions of the professional standard. In the absence of information, a dash is put in the column.

What is the Purchasing Specialist standard?

Levels of the professional standard "Specialist in the field of procurement". The very first level is the fifth, the highest is the eighth.

Description of labor functions included in the professional standard

Generalized labor functions Labor functions

What happens on the basis of what the developers have done, taking into account the skill levels approved by the order of the Ministry of Labor No. 148n?

On July 1, 2016, Article 195.3 came into force. TK RF. The procedure for applying professional standards, according to which: If this Code, other federal laws, other regulatory legal acts of the Russian Federation establish requirements for the qualifications necessary for an employee to perform a certain labor function, professional standards in terms of these requirements are mandatory for employers to apply.

Qualification characteristics contained in professional standards and the obligatory application of which is not established in accordance with part one of this article are used by employers as the basis for determining the requirements for qualifications of employees, taking into account the characteristics of the labor functions performed by employees, due to the technologies used and the adopted organization of production and labor .

The question arises: Should the qualifications of a procurement worker meet the requirements of the “Procurement Specialist” standard? Namely: should the level of knowledge, skills, professional skills and work experience of an employee necessarily meet the requirements of this standard?

In order to answer this question, it is necessary to understand whether the Labor Code, 44-FZ or 223-FZ, other regulatory legal acts of the Russian Federation establish requirements for the qualification of a specialist in the field of procurement, namely, the level of knowledge, skills, professional skills and work experience worker.

AT Labor Code no such requirement has been established.

44-FZ establishes requirements for the level of knowledge: Article 38 part 6. Employees contract service, the contract manager must have higher education or additional professional education in the field of procurement. Article 112 part 23. Until January 1, 2017, a contract service employee or contract manager may be a person who has a professional education or additional professional education in the field of placing orders for the supply of goods, performance of work, provision of services for state and municipal needs.

223-FZ does not establish such requirements.

However, the normative legal acts of the Russian Federation also include acts federal bodies executive power(ministries, federal services and agencies), as well as acts of other federal authorities of the Russian Federation (Central Bank of the Russian Federation, CEC of the Russian Federation, General Prosecutor's Office of the Russian Federation, etc.).

Order of the Ministry economic development RF dated October 29, 2013. N 631 “On Approval of the Standard Regulations (Regulations) on the Contract Service” defines the functions and powers of the contract service.

The question arises: are functions and powers the same as skills and professional skills? The question is debatable. There is no single answer. From the point of view of the author, this is practically the same thing.

That is, for contract managers, qualification requirements are established in terms of education, and for employees of contract services, both qualification requirements are established in terms of education, and in terms of skills, professional skills (functions, powers).

For employees of authorized bodies (institutions) who are not part of the contract service and are not appointed by contract managers, nothing is established in 44-FZ.

So, based on the foregoing, let's answer the above question: Should the employee's qualifications meet the requirements of the Procurement Specialist Standard? Namely: should the level of knowledge, skills, professional skills and work experience of an employee necessarily meet the requirements of this standard?

According to 223-FZ - no. And if there are no mandatory requirements, then the requirements of the professional standard "Specialist in the field of procurement" in relation to employees under 223-FZ can be the basis for setting qualification requirements by the employer himself. To include such requirements for labor functions, the powers of employees or not, is determined by the decision of the head.

According to 44-FZ, contract managers must have an appropriate level of additional professional education. Employees of the contract service under 44-FZ must have the appropriate level of additional professional education, as well as the skills and professional skills to perform the functions of an authorized employee of the contract service. Based on this, it is advisable to correlate the skills and professional skills of contract service employees with the order of the Ministry of Economic Development of the Russian Federation No. 631 and supplement job descriptions or duties with appropriate skills and prof. Skills (labor functions).

Correlation Model Provision on contract service and the Professional standard "Specialist in the field of procurement" (levels 5, 6, 7)

MINISTRY OF LABOR AND SOCIAL PROTECTION OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION INFORMATION dated February 10, 2016 ON THE APPLICATION OF PROFESSIONAL STANDARDS IN THE SPHERE OF LABOR

• Article 4 of the Federal Law establishes the right of the Government of the Russian Federation, taking into account the opinion of the Russian tripartite commission for the regulation of social and labor relations, to establish the specifics of the application of professional standards in terms of the requirements that are mandatory for the application of state off-budget funds Russian Federation, state or municipal institutions, state or municipal unitary enterprises, as well as state corporations, state companies and business companies, more than fifty percent of the shares (stakes) in the authorized capital of which are in state or municipal ownership.

• In accordance with paragraph 25 of the Rules for the development, approval and application of professional standards approved by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of January 22, 2013 N 23 (as amended on September 23, 2014 N 970), professional standards are applied by employers in the formation of personnel policy and in personnel management, in the organization of training and certification of employees, the development of job descriptions, billing of work, the assignment of tariff categories to employees and the establishment of wage systems, taking into account the peculiarities of the organization of production, labor and management.

MINISTRY OF LABOR AND SOCIAL PROTECTION OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION INFORMATION dated February 10, 2016 ON THE APPLICATION OF PROFESSIONAL STANDARDS IN THE SPHERE OF LABOR

• So for personnel services and employers of other organizations, except for the above, in respect of which the specifics of the application of professional standards may be determined, when establishing qualification and professional requirements for applicants and employees, professional standards are guidelines and can be applied in terms of the names of positions, professions and specialties, the definition of labor functions, requirements for education and work experience, taking into account the specifics due to the technology and organization of production and labor at a given employer.
• Please note that, in accordance with Part 2 of Article 57 of the Code, the names in employment contracts of positions, professions or specialties and qualification requirements to them must comply with the names and requirements specified in qualification guides, or professional standards, if the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, other federal laws provide for the right of employees to provide them with compensation, benefits or any restrictions when working in such positions (by profession, specialty).
• Thus, in this case, when compiling the staffing table, when filling out work book employee, as well as when changing tariff category in terms of the name of the employee's position, one should be guided by the currently valid Unified Tariff and Qualification Guide for Works and Professions of Workers, the Unified Qualification Guide for the Positions of Managers, Specialists and Employees and Professional Standards.

The question arises: Should the name in the employment contracts of the position and the qualification requirements for it correspond to the names and requirements specified in the qualification directories (there is nothing in the qualification directory for procurement specialists!), Or the professional standard "Procurement Specialist"?

In accordance with Article 57 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation: the labor function must be indicated in the employment contract (work according to the position in accordance with the staff list, profession, specialty, indicating qualifications; a specific type of work assigned to the employee). If in accordance with this Code, other federal laws, the provision of compensations and benefits or the presence of restrictions is associated with the performance of work in certain positions, professions, specialties, then the names of these positions, professions or specialties and qualification requirements for them must correspond to the names and requirements specified in qualification reference books approved in the manner established by the Government of the Russian Federation, or the relevant provisions of professional standards.

Here it is necessary to answer another question: Do the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, other federal laws establish the right of employees to provide them with compensation, benefits or any restrictions when working in such positions: contract manager, contract service employee?

There are no compensations, benefits when working as a contract manager, contract service employee. Are there any restrictions?

• There is no legal definition of the term "restriction". In such cases, the interpretation of the term is applied according to the general meaning of the concept. For example, in explanatory dictionary Ozhegova: “LIMITATION, I, cf. 1. see limit. 2. A rule restricting any. actions, rights. This term is interpreted similarly in judicial practice: if there is some requirement that can limit an action, prevent it from being freely applied, then this is a restriction.
• The definition in Art. 251 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation: (Article 251 Features of regulation labor standards, partially limiting the use general rules on the same issues or providing additional rules for certain categories of workers.)
• There is no complete list of all restrictions. Therefore, simply in meaning: “if it is impossible to hire an employee due to any restriction at the level of federal law, then this should be interpreted as the presence of a restriction” or “if for some category at the level of federal law restrictions are established in the implementation labor rights and obligations, then this is also a limitation.

That is key factors here are two:

1. These restrictions should be set at the level of federal laws (not government decrees, not acts of the Ministry of Labor, etc.). This significantly narrows the circle, since many restrictions are set at the level of acts of the relevant ministry.
2. This limitation is related to the particular professional activity. For example, employees of a contract service, a contract manager must have a higher education or additional professional education in the field of procurement.

Those. according to 44-FZ, the requirements for the presence of higher education or additional professional education in the field of procurement - there are restrictions on the basis of which the name of the position (profession) of a contract service employee, contract manager must correspond to the name provided for in the unified qualification directory (there is nothing there!) or professional standard.

What to do?

• According to the author, if the contract service is created as a separate structural subdivision, then the names of the positions of employees who are part of the contract service must comply with the requirements of the professional standard "Specialist in the field of procurement", plus skills, prof. skills and level of education (in terms of further vocational education) must also meet the requirements of the professional standard. Those. change staffing.
• If the contract service is created without allocation to a separate structural unit, the requirements for skills are mandatory, prof. skills and level of education (in terms of further vocational education) in accordance with the professional standard. Those. We do not change staffing.
• If there is a person performing the functions of a contract manager under an employment contract, his position should be called that from 07/01/2016 - a contract manager, plus the level of education (in terms of further education) must also meet the requirements of the professional standard. Those. This position should already be on the staffing table.
• If a person does not perform the functions of a contract manager under an employment contract, and this is a “social burden”, then the requirements for the level of education (in terms of APE) are mandatory. Those. We do not change staffing.

And if the functions of a contract service specialist are included in the job duties (instructions) of an accountant in accordance with Order 631, should a part-time job be issued? In theory, if an employee is entrusted with a specific type of work - and the employee is familiar with his job description, then this is a labor function. And the labor function is indicated in the employment contract, but this does not mean that the accountant automatically becomes a part-time employee of the contract service.

The Ministry of Education and Science spoke about the application of the professional standard of a procurement specialist:

From July 1, 2016 Art. 195.3 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, according to which, if the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, other federal laws, other regulatory legal acts of the Russian Federation establish requirements for the qualifications necessary for an employee to perform a certain labor function, professional standards in terms of these requirements are mandatory for employers to apply. In accordance with Part 6 of Art. 38 of the Federal Law of 05.04.2013 N 44-FZ "On contract system in the field of procurement of goods, works, services to meet state and municipal needs" contract service workers, a contract manager must have higher education or additional professional education in the field of procurement. In this regard, specialists from the Ministry of Education and Science of Russia drew attention to the existence of such professional standards as "Expert in Procurement" and "Procurement Specialist" and recalled the need for professional retraining or training of staff in the field of procurement. However, we note that, as follows from Art. 195.3 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, it establishes the need to apply only those requirements of professional standards that are provided for by other regulations. At the same time, employers were required to comply with the requirements of Law N 44-FZ, including in terms of qualification requirements for specialists in the field of procurement, starting from the day the relevant law came into force, that is, long before July 1, 2016. In this part, the entry into force of Art. 195.3 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation will not lead to obligations to comply with any new requirements. As a result, if at the moment a specialist in the field of procurement works in the organization, whose qualifications do not meet the requirements of Law N 44-FZ, the employer needs to think not about improving his qualifications, but about the statutory obligation to terminate with such an employee employment contract according to paragraph 11 of the first part of Art. 77 TKRF, since it was concluded in violation of the current legislation.

Information dated April 5, 2016 Information from the Russian Ministry of Labor on the application of professional standards

1. Why are professional standards developed and adopted?

Professional standards are complex in nature and reveal the knowledge and skills necessary for the employee to perform labor functions. Maintaining up-to-date information on popular and promising professions, modern requirements for employees and taking these requirements into account in the personnel training system should be provided by the state. Raise professional level of employees has a significant impact on labor productivity, reducing the costs of employers for the adaptation of employees in employment, as well as on the competitiveness of employees in the labor market. Regarding issues that arise in practice in connection with the introduction of professional standards, it should be noted that the responsibility and authority to make personnel decisions are the powers of employers, and the professional standard sets the bar. modern requirements and guidelines for building personnel policy.

2. How often will professional standards be updated/added? The development of professional standards in accordance with the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of January 22, 2013 No. 23 "On the Rules for the Development, Approval and Application of Professional Standards" (hereinafter referred to as the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of January 22, 2013 No. 23) is carried out taking into account priority areas development of the economy and proposals of the National Council under the President of the Russian Federation for professional qualifications. The need to develop professional standards is also determined taking into account the information in the Directory of those in demand on the labor market, new and promising professions(as amended by the order of the Ministry of Labor of Russia dated February 10, 2016 No. 46). Draft professional standards can be initiated and submitted for consideration to the Russian Ministry of Labor in the prescribed manner various organizations. Changes to professional standards are made, as well as to others. regulations, if there are reasonable proposals or relevant changes in the legislation of the Russian Federation. Changes are made in the same manner as the development and approval in accordance with the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation dated January 22, 2013 No. 23.
3. Where can I find the content of professional standards? How to learn about plans for the development (updating) of professional standards, changes to professional standards or the adoption of new professional standards? The Ministry of Labor of Russia maintains the Register of Professional Standards (a list of types of professional activities), which is posted on the websites of the Professional Standards software and hardware complex (http://profstandart.rosmintrud.ru) and the Scientific and Methodological Center for the System of Professional Qualifications of the Federal State Budgetary Institution "Research Institute of Labor and social insurance" of the Ministry of Labor of Russia (http://vet-bc.ru). All information about professional standards, including those being developed and planned for development, is placed on the same resources. In addition, professional standards approved by orders of the Ministry of Labor of Russia are placed in help systems legal information
4. Will ETKS and EKS be cancelled? In the future, it is planned to replace the ETKS and EKS with professional standards, as well as individual industry requirements for the qualifications of workers, approved by legislative and other regulatory legal acts that are already in place at the present time (for example, in the field of transport, etc.). But such a replacement, according to the Russian Ministry of Labor, will take place over a fairly long period.
5. If the qualification handbook and professional standard for similar professions (positions) contain different requirements qualification, what documents should the employer use? The employer independently determines which regulatory legal act he uses, with the exception of cases provided for by federal laws and other regulatory legal acts of the Russian Federation.
6. When is the application of professional standards mandatory? Are employers obliged to apply the qualification requirements for employees contained in professional standards, including when hiring? According to Article 195.3 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation (Labor Code of the Russian Federation), professional standards are applied "as the basis for determining the requirements for the qualifications of workers." How should it be determined which of the requirements should be taken as a basis? Is there a required minimum? In what cases is it possible to increase, and in what cases, to reduce the requirements? What are the changes from July 1, 2016, if those qualification requirements, in terms of which a professional standard will be mandatory, were previously established by laws and other regulatory legal acts?

The Labor Code of the Russian Federation establishes the mandatory application of the requirements contained in professional standards, including when hiring employees, in the following cases: according to part two of Article 57 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, the names of positions, professions, specialties and qualification requirements for them must correspond to the names and requirements specified in qualification reference books or professional standards, if, in accordance with the Labor Code of the Russian Federation or other federal laws, the provision of compensations and benefits or the presence of restrictions is associated with the performance of work in these positions, professions, specialties; in accordance with article 195.3 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, the requirements for the qualification of employees contained in professional standards are mandatory for the employer in cases where they are established by the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, other federal laws, other regulatory legal acts of the Russian Federation. In other cases, these requirements are advisory in nature.

7. Does the obligation to apply the requirements of professional standards apply to all employers or only to state and municipal organizations? The obligatory application of the requirements of professional standards is established for the cases provided for in Articles 57 and 195.3 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, and does not depend on the form of ownership of the organization or the status of the employer. As for state and municipal organizations, given the importance of introducing professional standards to increase labor productivity, ensure the quality of work (services) performed, these organizations should conduct an analysis professional competencies employees for compliance with professional standards, if necessary, draw up a plan for the training of employees and additional professional education of employees within the budget for the corresponding year.
8. The professional standards approved by the Russian Ministry of Labor are normative legal acts. According to part one of Article 195.3 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, if the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, other federal laws, other regulatory legal acts of the Russian Federation establish requirements for the qualifications necessary for an employee to perform a certain labor function, professional standards in terms of these requirements are mandatory for employers to apply. Does this norm mean that the requirements contained in professional standards are mandatory for application? According to Article 195.3 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, professional standards are mandatory for employers to apply in terms of the requirements they contain for the qualifications necessary for an employee to perform a certain labor function provided for by the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, other federal laws, other regulatory legal acts of the Russian Federation. Thus, only in terms of the requirements established in the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, other federal laws, other regulatory legal acts of the Russian Federation, the requirements of the professional standard are mandatory. When applying the above provision of Article 195.3 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation under other regulatory legal acts, we mean resolutions and orders of the Government of the Russian Federation, orders of federal executive bodies that establish special requirements for employees performing certain labor duties of a regulatory legal nature (for example, orders Ministry of Transport of Russia, etc.). In this case, in terms of requirements, these regulatory legal acts shall apply.
9. Should the requirements of the professional standard be spelled out in the employment contract / job description of the employee in full, or can there be any assumptions?

   The employer determines the content of the employment contract, taking into account Article 57 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation and the duties of employees. At the same time, the professional standard can be applied as a recommendatory methodological document, in addition to the requirements contained in it, provided for by the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, other federal laws, other regulatory legal acts of the Russian Federation. The employer applies professional standards to determine the need for workers with a certain level of qualification, the correct selection and placement of personnel, the rational division and organization of labor, the delineation of functions, powers and responsibilities between categories of workers, definitions job duties employees, taking into account the peculiarities of the technologies used, the organization of training (vocational education and professional education) and additional professional education of employees, organization of labor, establishment of wage systems. Regarding issues that arise in practice in connection with the introduction of professional standards, it should be noted that the responsibility and authority to make personnel decisions are the powers of employers.

10. Can the duties of employees, the requirements for education and experience, change automatically due to the adoption of a professional standard? Can an employment contract with an employee be terminated if his level of education or work experience does not meet those specified in the professional standard? Fire him (if he refuses to take training)?

There is no such basis in the Labor Code of the Russian Federation. The obligations of employees cannot be changed automatically in connection with the adoption of a professional standard. The objective basis for changing the responsibilities associated with the performance of any work (service) is a change in organizational or technological conditions labor (changes in equipment and production technology, structural reorganization of production, other reasons), and even in these cases, according to Article 74 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, a change in the labor function of an employee at the initiative of the employer is not allowed. It can be carried out in accordance with articles 72, 72.1 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation on the basis of an agreement between the employee and the employer on changing the terms of the employment contract determined by the parties. Regarding the compliance of employees with the requirements for education and length of service contained in professional standards, please note that these requirements are mandatory in cases where the performance of the relevant work is associated with benefits, guarantees and restrictions, or if the relevant requirements have already been established by the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, other federal laws, other regulatory legal acts of the Russian Federation. The entry into force of professional standards is not a basis for the dismissal of employees. The admission of an employee to perform a labor function is the authority of the employer. The employer also has the right to conduct certification of employees. So, when applying qualification handbooks and professional standards, persons who do not have special training or work experience established in the "Qualification Requirements" section, but who have sufficient practical experience and performing qualitatively and in full the duties assigned to them, on the recommendation of attestation commission are appointed to the respective positions in the same way as persons with special training and work experience.

11. Should employees bring their qualifications in line with the requirements of professional standards? Is the employer responsible for sending the training and expenses?

For a long time, the profession of a buyer in Russia was practically not regulated in terms of professional standards. However, from July 1, 2016, organizations must be guided by professional standards for the qualification of buyers. Currently, employees responsible for procurement on the customer side must meet the professional standard stipulated by the legislation in the field of procurement.

The Labor Code defines a "professional standard" as a qualification necessary for an employee to perform a particular professional activity. Professional standards are developed and approved, and also maintain their register on a specialized website http://profstandart.rosmintrud.ru of the Ministry of Labor of the Russian Federation.

So, what professional standards do customers apply in the field of procurement? Now two documents are in force: the professional standard "Specialist in the field of procurement", which was approved by order of the Ministry of Labor of Russia dated September 10, 2015 No. 625n and the professional standard "Expert in the field of procurement", which was approved by order of the Ministry of Labor of Russia dated September 10, 2015 No. 626n.

The professional standards of a procurement specialist have been developed for government customers who conduct purchases in accordance with 223-FZ and 44-FZ. Commercial organizations can apply professional standards in the field of procurement, taking into account the specifics of their activities.

The professional standard for a public procurement specialist provides for four qualification levels - from 5th to 8th. In total, within the framework of the system of professional standards, nine qualification levels have been established, from the lowest, 1st, to the highest, 9th.

The professional standard contains requirements for the level of education and work experience of specialists in the field of procurement. In addition, the standard provides for the possible titles of their positions.

The current professional standard of a procurement specialist 44-FZ is also determined by several articles of the Law on the contract system (LCS).

In Art. 9 44-FZ professionalism is called one of the main principles in the activities of the customer. For its observance, specialists in this field are involved in the work. The customer takes measures to maintain and improve their qualifications. Based on part 6 of Art. 38 contract service employees or a contract manager must have a higher or additional professional education. Professional standards get their application even when creating a purchasing commission. Preference is given to employees with professional retraining, advanced training, special knowledge about the procurement object (part 5 of article 39).

The concept of a professional standard appeared in the Labor Code in 2012. This term refers to a description of qualifications in any area of ​​professional activity.

On the basis of the Rules of Standards (approved by the PP dated 01/22/2013 No. 23), the Ministry of Labor developed and put into effect by the relevant orders dated 09/10/2015 two specialties for those working in the field of procurement: No. 625n - professional standard of a specialist in the field of procurement, No. 626n - expert.

Professional standards get their application even during creation. Preference is given to employees with professional retraining, advanced training, special knowledge about the procurement object ().

Profstandard "Specialist"

The current year is a kind of watershed. Back in 2016, it was enough for a contract worker to have an education in the rules for placing orders. The current situation obliges to comply with the professional standard of a procurement specialist since 2019 with the availability of documents on education in the contract field.

This specialty is divided by authority in accordance with the scale of complexity.

The specialist is provided with the following functions:

• level 5, initial - provision (preliminary data collection, preparation of documentation, conclusion of a contract);

How to meet the professional standard in the field of procurement, what education you need to have, read the article. Also download professional standards of a procurement specialist and a procurement expert.

From the article you will learn:

Standardization of professional activity is one of the main motives for labor protection in modern Russia. Since public procurement specialists are a fairly new area, professional standards did not reach them right away. But now they have been formed, and these documents must be taken into account in the activities of contract managers.

Industry Procurement Standards

The legislative base on which professional standards in the field of procurement are formed are two main laws: 223-FZ and 44-FZ. On the basis of these legislative acts, the Ministry of Labor issued two relevant professional standards: “Procurement Specialist” and “Procurement Expert”. Orders of the Ministry of Labor of Russia dated September 10, 2015 No. 625n and 626n approve these acts for many organizations as mandatory. The purpose of the professional standards of a procurement specialist under 44-FZ and 223-FZ is the same as for any other professional standards, that is, to systematize and regulate the functionality that these employees are engaged in.

For example, for ordinary commercial organizations procurement professional standards apply in cases provided for by the Labor Code: in terms of the necessary education and work experience for an employee (part 1 of article 195.3 of the Labor Code) and when it comes to paying compensation and benefits for a specific profession, specialty (part 2 of article 57 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation ). In other cases, professional standards can be considered as recommendatory documents.

The meaning of the professional standard of an expert in the field of procurement

The professional standard of a procurement specialist for 2018 regulates not so much, for example, the requirements for the education of an employee, as it describes the skills necessary for this profession. For example, a contract manager must not only know and be able to regulate the various stages of the public procurement process, but also be able to use the ETP and EDS.

Other requirements that professional standard 08.026 "specialist in the field of procurement" imposes are the need to familiarize the employee responsible for procurement with the current (which is especially important) legislation of the country as a whole, as well as industry regulations.

Question from practice

Do we need to have internal document to confirm that contract service employees ?

If the training program for advanced training courses met the professional standard, we recommend that you draw up an act to verify such compliance. After all, the professional standard was created just as a tool that allows you to measure the knowledge of employees and correlate them with the functionality that they perform.

Education in the professional standard of a specialist in public procurement

The professional standard of a public procurement expert indicates several positions of different levels of competence and areas of functionality. Each of these positions requires unique set knowledge and skills. This is confirmed by education documents, attestation certificates and work experience.

As for additional education for a contract manager, the situation according to the professional standard is as follows. Level 5 personnel are required to unlearn under two programs: advanced training and professional retraining. The rest, from 6th to 8th, study one at a time.

Advanced training according to the professional standard in the field of procurement is carried out in the amount of 108 hours (according to No. 5594-EE/D28i/AK-553/06). The retraining course is even longer, at a minimum it will be 250 hours. For example, a contract manager in the field of public procurement according to the professional standard corresponds to level 7. To work, he must have at least 4 years of experience in the field of procurement, as well as a special higher education (that is, not a bachelor's degree, but a master's degree) and additional professional education.

Skill levels and possible positions

The professional standard includes 4 generalized labor functions, which are ranked and divided into qualification levels of a procurement specialist:

• ensuring purchases for state, municipal and corporate needs;
• procurement for state, municipal and corporate needs;
• examination of the results of procurement, acceptance of the contract;
• procurement control.

Mandatory and additional characteristics correspond to each skill level of an employee. The table below shows the relationship between the name of the generalized labor function and its basic requirements.

For each function, the professional standard establishes positions for which it is possible to appoint a procurement specialist, as well as requirements for the education and work experience of employees.

What professional standards are applied in the field of procurement

The laws defining this sector served as the legal basis for designing the standards of procurement experts: N 223-FZ of 07/18/2011 and No 44-FZ of 04/05/2013.

The Ministry of Labor designed and issued two professional standards, both of which were approved as mandatory for many organizations by orders of September 10, 2015 and are aimed at systematizing and regulating the activities of specialists and experts in the field of procurement.

The introduction of standards is aimed at improving the work of staff in general and standardizing the approach to personnel policy. The activity of procurement specialists has recently begun to stand out in a separate cluster, there are many claims against it. These workers have a great responsibility, it is logical that personnel policy in relation to "purchasers" must be understandable, normalized and suggesting further development.

When did the professional standard in the field of procurement come into force

The innovations that practically "turned" the attitude to the topic of procurement were caused by the adoption of the Federal Law 44-FZ of 04/05/2013 "On the contract system in the field of procurement of goods, works, services to meet state and municipal needs" (with amendments and additions that have entered into force from 11.01.2018). From July 1, 2016, many enterprises are required to act in accordance with the requirements of this Law.

At the moment, standards are the basis for the work of "purchasing" specialists in public sector organizations. But the standards also apply to ordinary commercial firms in those situations where this is expressly stated in the Labor Code: in terms of the necessary education and work experience for an employee (part 1 of article 195.3 of the Labor Code) and when it comes to paying compensation and benefits for a specific profession, specialty (part 2 of article 57 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation). In other words, if the position implies specific requirements and payments related specifically to professional activities, these standards must be followed.

"HR" must understand that if the situation at your enterprise does not require mandatory application professional standards, then they can be regarded as advisory, and not mandatory. However, we recommend that you follow the guidelines of the standards when it comes to hiring, testing knowledge, and distributing responsibilities among staff. You may need to make some changes to the local regulations of the organization.

Therefore, each personnel specialist must have an idea of ​​professional standards and, if necessary, operate with them in his work.

Professional standard requirements for a procurement specialist

It is very important to understand that professional standards provide information not only about what kind of education a person applying for a particular position should have, but also dictate what skills he should have.

So, you need to be able to use office equipment and Personal Computer, as well as a variety of programs that come standard with a PC, to know how to use communication tools correctly.

This is complemented by a large list of requirements for the competence of personnel related to knowledge of the current legislation of our country and the economy: industry regulations (in the field of procurement and in the core area - for example, medicine, construction, trade), basic accounting ...

Each position indicated in professional standards has its own individual set of knowledge and skills, and they, in turn, are confirmed by education documents, certification results and experience. Separately, let's talk about additional education.

Level 5 personnel should be trained in two programs: advanced training and professional retraining. The rest, from 6th to 8th, study one at a time. Note: these are not short-term one-day courses, but long-term serious meaningful programs that differ in outcome: advanced training is aimed at improving, optimizing existing knowledge, and retraining is about obtaining new ones. The time also differs: the increase is made in the amount of 108 hours (letter of the Ministry of Economic Development and the Ministry of Education and Science No. 5594-EE / D28i / AK-553/06). An exception is possible: if we are talking about training a manager, he will have a 40-hour training. The retraining course is even longer; in the minimum version, it will be 250 hours.

As an example, consider the position of a contract manager in the field of public procurement (level 7 according to the standards). He must have at least 4 years of experience in the field of procurement, special higher education (that is, not a bachelor's degree, but a master's degree) and additional professional education.

What labor functions can be performed by procurement specialists

Labor functions (respectively, positions in the organization) will be determined precisely by the qualifications of the employee. According to the professional standard, employees must be assigned certain levels, from 5 to 8 (the higher the level, the more qualified and experienced the employee). For each of the levels there are requirements for education and work experience, increasing from number to number.

So, 5th level- these are personnel employed in the municipal sphere: a procurement specialist, employees of the contact department, a contact manager. Since this is the lowest level of all “purchasing”, it is logical that minimum requirements apply to it - such as, for example, work experience is not required. Its tasks include collecting information about existing needs, current price lists, preparing and final processing of documentation.

6th level above, it refers to procurement for public needs. These are the positions of a senior specialist or a procurement consultant, an employee of the contact department, as well as a contact manager. They are busy planning and preparing the justification for specific purchases and directly implement the procurement procedure itself.

7th level- these are already the positions of a leading specialist, personnel of the contact department, deputy manager, head of the organization, that is, activities that involve the execution of an examination and the acceptance of contracts (agreements). They control that the terms of the contract are observed, including in terms of the quality of the purchased goods and services.
