The fifth Index of Rationality is developed for the following five types of products, i.e., services:

• commission rates charged by Agencies for Temporary Employment;
• ISO 9001 Quality Management System Standards;
• antifreeze liquid;
• carwash services; and
• bottled still water.

The selection of Index-targeted products and services was made in compliance with their status of most commonly used products and services by national and local level institutions.

However, given that the methodology applied to develop the Index implies compassion of prices attained by at least five institutions and the fact that requested information is not always disclosed or, when disclosed, it is provided in a form that does not allow comparisons to be made, the development of relevant indices per products and services, in addition to information on public procurements organized in 2012, also includes information on procurements implemented in the previous years.

Тhe fourth Index of Rationality is developed for the following five types of products, i.e. services:

- website design;
- firewood;
- behaton paving elements;
- health examination for employees;
- fire-fighting protection.

The selection of Index-targeted products and services was made in compliance with their status of most commonly used products and services by national and local level institutions.

The present Index provides data on prices and values of contracts signed by 84 institutions throughout the country. For the purpose of developing individual indices with prices of targeted products and services, we submitted FOI applications to all contracting authorities whose procurements were registered in the Electronic Public Procurement System (EPPS).

The third Index of Rationality is developed for the following five types of products, i.e. services:

- written translation from Macedonian into English language; 
- air-conditioners; 
- private security services; 
- notebook computers;
- GPS vehicle devices.

The selection of Index-targeted products and services was made in compliance with their status of most commonly used products and services by national and local level institutions. However, given the fact that, on one side, the methodology for Index-development implies comparison of prices attained by at least five institutions, and on the other hand, the information requested from institutions is not always disclosed or when disclosed it is not conductive to comparisons, for the purpose of developing the relevant indices of some Index-targeted products and services, apart from those implemented in the course of 2011, we included the public procurements implemented in the previous years as well.
