The Ministry of Interior has canceled the public procurement for 30,000 icons. The order also included the purchase of backpacks, beach balls, balloons, puzzles, pens, badges and others, and has a total value of 420,000 leva.
This is clear from the public procurement register, after a reference by "Focus".
"As a result of the analysis of the procurement documentation and in particular the types of materials subject to delivery, it was established that some of them do not provide justified added value to the achievement of the Campaign's objectives.
The absence of a direct connection between the objectives and the instruments for their achievement leads to reasonable doubts about the effectiveness and appropriateness of the expenditure.
Spending funds on items that have no demonstrable contribution to road safety and are not tailored to the needs of the specific target group contradicts of the principles of good governance and creates a real risk of inefficient and irrational spending of public resources", is stated in the reasons for the termination of the public procurement.
