The supervisors received a complaint that the experience of the procurement participant was incorrectly evaluated.
The customer objected. According to the terms of the purchase, in order to confirm the experience, a register of contracts (contracts) in Word or Excel format with the ability to copy text should be attached to the application. Registries in other formats where data cannot be copied were not accepted for evaluation. The participant submitted documents in PDF format, so his experience was rated at 0 points.
The inspectors found the complaint justified:
the document format requirement was set for copying data. Although the participant sent them in PDF format, they were not scanned copies and allowed copying, which means that the purchase condition was fulfilled;
the customer did not evaluate the application on a formal basis. This approach violates the principles of equality and fairness and does not allow to identify the best offer.
