In case if NMU takes the decision to apply the negotiation procurement procedure, NMU as a customer, according to P. 2 Art. 35 in Law of Ukraine “About Public Procurements”, would demand Testing Center to submit the information, confirmed by documents, about is conformity to qualification requirements according to Article 16 in this Law (available equipment and material technical base; available employees of corresponding qualification, who have the necessary knowledge and experience; available experience in performance of analogous agreement, confirmed by documents).

In addition, the parties discussed the alternative possibility for payment of services from Testing Center at MHC of Ukraine through conclusion of corresponding agreement with natural persons.
