Most of the problems implementing the investment projects arose in the context of public procurement. The public procurement procedures depending on the method of purchase were attended from 1 to 7 participants. 1 participant - undisclosed negotiations by buying works from the same contractor who performs the basic works. The prices tendered by the players vary from 0.1 to 69 percent. The proposed price difference is the highest in buying services, where the difference between the first and the third place winners amounts even 69 percent. The smallest difference is in the purchase of goods, where the proposed price difference is just a few hundred euros. |
