<p><a href="images/stories/9_eng.pdf">The Index of Rationality no.9</a> is developed for the following five types of products, i.e. services:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>maintenance of      elevators;</strong></li>
<li><strong>printing of bill forms; </strong></li>
<li><strong>RTG X-ray films; </strong></li>
<li><strong>cow’s milk cheese; and </strong></li>
<li><strong>GPS devices. </strong></li>
</ul>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>The Index of Rationality for these types of products and services was  developed by targeting national and local institutions that have  procured these products or services in the first half of 2013.</p>
<p>Initially, a total of 53 national and local contracting authorities  were addressed with FOI applications inquiring about prices attained for  procurement of given products or services. However, due to objective or  subjective reasons, as indicated throughout the analysis, in the end  the Index was developed on the basis of price information provided by 39  institutions.</p>
