The foreign audience has found that the municipality has also linked two contracts contrary to the most negotiated law.

The procurement office had entered two contracts for cleaning school facilities, one with 13,04.2022, worth 40,262.86, for one month and the other to 18.05.2022, worth 87,377.37, until the issue of cleaning objects is resolved, using the negotiated procedure without publishing the contract announcement. The procurement office in this case has had to use the open procedure because none of the criteria mentioned by the rules and operational guide have been met to use the negotiated procedure without publication. This has happened because of the negligence of the procurement office to respect the initial legal requirements”, said the KKA report.

The audience has also found other contracts violations, such as misuse of procurement procedures, exceed contracts, etc. /Periscopi/
