FOCUS: Romanian State Spends About EUR200M Annually On Goods, Services
Romanian state institutions and companies spend EUR200 million annually on cars, laptops, furniture, air conditioners, mobile phones and telecom services, most of them bought through direct negotiations or single-bid auctions.
Although a part of costs is also covered from European funds, most contracts are awarded through negotiations without participation announcement or through open auctions with only one offer, submitted by limited liability companies. Even in the case of single-bid auctions, institutions say they awarded the contract considering the lowest price.
Last spring, Prime Minister Emil Boc called on ministers to stop auctions to purchase cars or other goods that are not of vital importance. He said the Government was considering setting up a department to authorize purchases of office equipment for all ministries, from a common supplier and for the same price.
Previously, MEDIAFAX reported state institutions and companies purchased in the first four months of 2010 cars, laptops and mobile phones worth over EUR100 million and planned other payments amounting to EUR24 million, to bring total costs close to those reported in 2009.
