It is envisaged to maintain a register of bank guarantees issued as security for an application for participation in a competition or closed auction or as security for the execution of a contract.

Another innovation - electronic platforms must return to auction participants not only the collateral they contributed, but also the income received from it.

The procedure for changing and terminating the contract has been regulated. Provision is made for monitoring procurement and auditing the results of contract execution.
