ABSTRACT
Public institutions, such as kindergartens, are
committed to ordering food according to the Slovenian Law on public procurement
(ZJN-3), which is compliant with EU legislation. There are many bread
manufacturers in the market, therefore contracting authority has the
challenging task to provide a diverse and high-quality bread and bakery
pastries through the process of public procurement. Each buyer has the option
of ordering food through the so-called “short chain”, which
allows the ordering of locally produced cereals, bread from the organic and
integrated production. The Ministry of Health of the Republic of Slovenia issued
a “Guide
to Quality Standards of Food in Public Ordering for Educational Institutions” which
supports the ordering process. In addition to quality requirements, the buyer
divides the tender documentation into several groups and subgroups (e.g. Bread,
Bakery pastries and Bread of organic production). The bakery industry is aware that
in kindergartens high-quality bread and bakery pastries are required, therefore
they already offer products with reduced salt, sugars, fats, products without
trans-fatty acids and gluten. Taking into account the appropriate purchasing
specifications and good knowledge of legislation, with respect to public
procurement law-related orders, children in kindergartens can be provided with
high-quality bread and bakery pastries.
KEYWORDS
