Public procurement was canceled because of too complex technical task
Section of documentation on public procurement, which contained requirements for the product, took more than 200 pages. The indicators were presented in a different way, without a system.
The Supervisory authority and subsequently the courts considered such actions unlawful. The customer made it difficult to complete the first part of the application in order to prevent participants from participating on formal grounds or to force them to refuse to participate in the auction.
The Supreme court agreed with these conclusions, noting that the customer did not prove that the chaos in the documentation arose for objective reasons.
Requirements for the object of purchase must be formulated so that you can buy a product with the characteristics that are really needed by the customer. However, you cannot limit the number of participants.
