​Do you need to improve the qualifications of a contract service employee or train a specialist from scratch? Leave a request in the form below.

For those who have been working with government procurement for a long time and monitoring changes in legislation, it is far from a secret that since 01/01/2017 there are clearly regulated requirements for the education of contract service employees and contract managers.

This happened thanks to the entry into force of Order of the Ministry of Labor of Russia dated September 10, 2015 N 625n “On approval professional standard“Specialist in the field of procurement” and Order of the Ministry of Labor of Russia dated September 10, 2015 N 626n “On approval of the professional standard “Expert in the field of procurement”.

The use of a professional standard by an employer means its use “in the formation personnel policy and in personnel management, when organizing training and certification of employees, developing job descriptions, pricing work, assigning tariff categories employees and the establishment of remuneration systems, taking into account the peculiarities of the organization of production, labor and management.”

Thus, now when hiring, appointing to a position, sending for training, etc., the customer’s personnel service must rely on the introduced professional standards.

In accordance with the standard, certain requirements are imposed on an employee performing one or another generalized labor function:

Table 1.

Generalized labor functions Requirements

If there are several such employees and they perform different generalized job functions, then the requirements for them may be different depending on the function performed. The most high requirements in any case, are presented to the employee who is responsible for accepting the results of the contract (1).

So what requirements for the education of contract service employees are put forward in the approved professional standards?

For contract managers and contract service employees, according to current legislation and amendments that entered into force on January 1, 2017, it is sufficient (strongly recommended) to have one of the following levels of education:
