<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">- air purifiers;</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">- laptops; and</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">- industrial salt.</span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Development of individual indices for these products covered a total of 21 national and local institutions that have organized public procurements for these types of goods in the course of 2020 and 2021. For the purpose of obtaining information related to prices of analysed goods and services, FOI requests were sent to all contracting authorities whose public procurements were recorded in the Electronic Public Procurement System. The idea behind the index of rationality for these three types of products is to detect possible differences in price and to help contracting authorities learn about price variations thereof that would allow them to work on improving rationality of their public spending in the future. </span> <br style="font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;" /></p>
