Russia (bbabo.net), - In 2022, the rules of the game have changed for food operators involved in public procurement.

The winner at the auction is now determined not so much by a better price (the share of this criterion has been reduced to 40 percent), but by quality (60 percent). Dmitry Shalabodov, head of the OFAS Russia for the Sverdlovsk region, spoke about this.

- This increases the responsibility of the competition commissions, - he stressed. - Previously, there were many complaints that auction participants "dropped" prices to a minimum, in the end an incomprehensible person wins, who, trying to fit into the cost of the contract, cooks tastelessly, monotonously, saves on fresh vegetables and fruits, used products. Now the customer is also responsible if he chose such a contractor, considering his work to be of high quality.

We are talking about organizing meals and purchasing products in schools, hospitals, social boarding schools, as well as in summer country and city children's camps.
