Prozorro Market July 23, 2026 State Audit of Catalogue Purchases: Passing Cleanly The State Audit Service monitors catalogue purchases like any others.

No Bids Received: What to Do

No Bids Received: What to Do

Prozorro Market July 23, 2026 No Bids Received: What to Do If nobody came to your request, 9 times out of 10 the terms are to blame — usually an unrealistic delivery deadline. Fix and re-announce: there are no limits. The top cause of empty requests is unrealistic delivery terms. The second is an “empty” profile with one or two suppliers. A single bid still makes a valid request — it wins. Re-..

Purchase Splitting: What It Is and What It Costs

Purchase Splitting: What It Is and What It Costs

Prozorro Market July 23, 2026 Purchase Splitting: What It Is and What It Costs Splitting is artificially dividing a purchase to dodge a competitive procedure — the most frequent and most costly buyer violation. The procurement subject follows the 4-digit CPV class. The UAH 100k threshold applies to the annual need, not a single contract. Liability is personal — fines under Art. 164-14 of the A..

Justifying Expected Value with Catalogue Prices

Justifying Expected Value with Catalogue Prices

Prozorro Market July 23, 2026 Justifying Expected Value with Catalogue Prices A “ceiling-derived” expected value is a classic audit remark.

Prozorro Market July 23, 2026 The Product Profile: Reading Characteristics Right In the catalogue you buy a profile — a unified set of characteristics, not a specific model. The whole quality of the purchase is set at profile-selection time. Read ALL profile characteristics, not the name and photo. Height group, size, material — match them to the real need. Similar profiles differ in details: ..

We have already seen lanterns with water bottles, modular portable lanterns and larger lighting fixtures for camping. The new Playful Base from the Japanese manufacturer Root Co contains at once all of this. In one device there are several functions that can be useful in nature. In the afternoon it is possible to carry water with them, and in the evening it can be used as a flashlight for a tent or a lighting device for camping outside. And at any time, you can charge your device with other gadgets and play your favorite music. The Playful Base device is slightly different from the other lantern bottles that you saw.

He does not have a standard bottle design with a flashlight at one end, instead the developers decided to do something more modern and modular. The luminaire is integrated with the base, which simultaneously works as a speaker. Water is poured into the light-module, Bluetooth-connection with your other gadgets is provided. There is also a small separate flashlight, which can be ignited if necessary, when full lighting is not required. The device has a built-in battery capacity of 2 000 mAh, which is enough for 10 hours of full lighting, 10 hours of music playback or 6 hours of simultaneous lighting and music.
