Labour and Social Affairs Ministry fined for bad tender

The Czech Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs has been fined 100,000 crowns, or more than 5,000 U.S. dollars, by the anti-monopoly office for the manner in which it selected a company to supply it with an information system. When choosing the supplier last year, the ministry omitted to announce a public competition for the order worth of 50 million crowns. The ministry was already punished last year for a similar offence and paid a fine of 500,000 crowns, or over 25,000 U.S. dollars.
