The State Revenue Committee of the MF RK reminds that since July 2019, the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan “On Public Procurement” introduced the concept of “financial sustainability” of a potential supplier participating in public procurement. This indicator reflects the stability of the company and its ability to fulfill its obligations without attracting external resources.

How financial sustainability is calculated

Financial sustainability is calculated automatically on the Public Procurement web portal based on the following data provided by the public revenue authorities: revenues; taxes paid; value of fixed assets and payroll.

This information is updated once a year, by October 1 preceding the year of application. For example, to participate in the procurement in 2025, the data for 2023, reflected until October 1, 2024, are taken into account, as well as taxes paid during the calendar year, i.e. in 2023.

Key changes from 2025.

From 2025, paragraph 68 of the Public Procurement Rules came into force, according to which adjustments that increase the financial sustainability indicator shall not be accepted, even if they are due to errors or clarifications. This means that:

- late filing of accounts and retroactive payment of taxes will not affect the financial sustainability indicator;

- corrections aimed at increasing the indicator will not be taken into account;

- all payments should be made in the relevant reporting year.

Recommendations for potential suppliers

File tax returns and pay taxes in a timely manner.

Follow updates on the state procurement web portal.

Ensure that all data affecting the calculation of financial sustainability is up to date and correct.

These measures will ensure your readiness to participate in public procurement and increase the confidence of customers.

All information on financial sustainability is generated transparently and in the same way for all participants. This ensures fair competition and encourages taxpayers to fulfill their obligations in a timely manner.
