Potential of the procuring organization (results of questionaire) • In the study, experts conducted a survey of 3 employees of the procurement department, and 8 members of the tender board.

The organization of tender(monitoring) One of the functions of procurement department is to conduct at least two monitoring: • during the procurement planning; • and immediately prior to the tender. However, the procurement department is not running this feature to the full extent.
The organization of tender(implementation of tender documents) In violation of Article 21 of the Act, according to some tenders of goods purchasing: • criteria for evaluation of tenders is not provided ; • the requirements for the technical controlling and testing are not established ; • documentations for receipt and payment, also the payment terms are not specified ; • references to State Standards in the technical specifications, which must be set the requirements of goods quality are missing; • delivery dates are not specified, long-term correction of defects are established.

Example: Repair of the filters protective coating of crude rubbersmall parts (elbows, tees, etc.). JSC "EPP" does not compose the estimated cost by defective act, during the preparation of a defective act all necessary works should be estimated.

The organization of tender(estimation and comparison of proposals) The tender board evaluates and compare tenders with claim violation: • The evaluation reports of tender board members are not available in documents; • JSC "EPP" selects winners only by the presence of certain documents and at the lowest price; • The established evaluation criteria of winner selecting are not included; • In some tenders, in violation of Article 27 of the Act, when assessing the proposals of participants, the tender board rejected proposals from minor inconsistencies; • Misconduct of the tender board is evident , so after opening and evaluation, the tender board requests a copy of the license, certificate of conformity and the origin of the goods and sets deadlines for the missing documents.
