The eighth Index of Rationality is developed for the following five types of products, i.e., services:
- work clothing;
- work shoes;
- urban equipment – benches;
- toner cartridges and
- disinfection, disinsection, and deratization services.
This Index of Rationality was developed by targeting national and local level institutions that have procured these products or services in the course of 2012 and the first two months of 2013.
For the purpose of developing individual indices, relevant prices at which different products and services have been procured were secured by means of submitting 117 Freedom of Information (FOI) applications. Data collection was particularly difficult due to the fact that its timing overlapped with the local elections and a great number of local institutions did not function in full capacity during that period.
